The Book of Guilt by Catherine Chidgey

 

I loved this engaging, heartbreaking and provocative work of speculative fiction! A cast of multifaceted and fascinating characters made we care about what happened to them. There were a lot of twists and turns throughout the later half of the book which I never saw coming.

In Time With You by Kristin Wyer

 

 

 

 

 I loved this moving and suspenseful YA romance! The traditions that Nieve and Linden observed with Grandee added a new and fascinating layer to the narrative. Kristin Dwyer expertly wove a complex story that kept me engaged from the start. I won't say anything more in order to avoid spoilers.

Evercurse: Twisted Tales of Familiar Faces by Kayla Frederick

 

 I loved this very dark horror retelling of Rumplestiltskin. The main character is unsympathetic which made the story more intriguing than the original. It was fun to have the stakes be so high. Not for the faint of heart and impossible to put down.

When I Kill You by B.A. Paris

 

 

 

 

 

I loved this suspenseful, action-packed read. I felt a lot of sympathy for the main character because of all that she'd been through. Whenever I thought I'd figured out what was going on, I was wrong. The ending was shocking, because I never saw it coming. Meticulously crafted and well executed, this book was impossible to put down.

 

 

 

 

 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!
