Rosie: Twisted Tales of Unfamiliar Faces by Russell Archey

 


 

 

 

 

 

 Since I was unfamiliar with the source material, I had no idea what to expect which was nice. This was a very visceral, disturbing, and gory read which I loved. It reminded me of short stories by Stephen King because it featured a rag-tag group of survivors pitted against some type of evil creatures and had excellent character development. I really enjoyed it!


These Familiar Walls by CJ Dotson

 


 

 

  This book was a wild ride! There were so many unexpected twists which made me see everything in a new light. Very creepy atmosphere throughout and well written. This book was impossible to put down. I can't wait to read more books by this author.

Into the Blue by Emma Brodie

 


 

 

  This love story was moving, wonderful and at times heartbreaking. Emma Brodie did a deep dive into the psyches of her two main characters, AJ and Noah. I loved seeing how they changed and matured throughout the years. This book was impossible to put down.

Killing Me Softly by Sandie Jones

 


 

 

 I loved this book! It was cleverly plotted, suspenseful and full of twists. I was really shocked by what happened in the second half of the book. Everything that I thought I knew was wrong. Fascinating characters. Very well done and impossible to put down.
