The Reading Nook

 This story was engaging, harrowing, and at times very hard to read. Each chapter alternated between the points of view of a mother and her teenage son. It was very easy to care about the characters and feel sympathy for them. The author described everything in so much detail, that I felt like I was experiencing the situations right along with Peggy and her son Samson. This book was impossible to put down.

Nightmare on Nightmare Street by R.L. Stine

 Wow, this book was a really wild ride! This book reminded me of the Fear Street books I read growing up. I loved those books and I loved this one as well. To be honest, I was just as confused as the characters throughout the story. The ending was a very nice surprise because it explained everything. A book that'll keep you guessing right up to the end.

Night Terror: Bleak Haven #2 by Vincent Ralph

  I loved this action packed, and twist-filled read! It fun for it to be set in the 80s with a completely new cast of characters. The story was very atmospheric and suspenseful. I loved not knowing what was around the next corner and how everything would ultimately play out. I can't wait to read book 3 and beyond!

99 Ways to Die: And How to Avoid Them by Ashely Alker, M.D.

 

 I loved this informative and useful book. I learned a lot. I liked that the author made it easy to understand for those without a medical background. It was very well-written.
