The Night Guest by Hildur Knutsdottir, translated by Mary Robinette Kowal

 

 I loved this book all the way through up until the ending. The final few pages did nothing to explain exactly what was going on. I was left with so many unanswered questions and felt very disappointed.

Devil's Island by Midge Raymond and John Yunker

 

This read was intense, suspenseful and impossible to put down. The detailed descriptions of the island really helped to set the tone. I loved the unexpected twists towards the end.

One House Left by Vincent Ralph

 

 I really enjoyed this slow burn YA horror read. Most of the action happens in the final part of the book. I liked the characters and that they had an urban legend club. I was shocked by all of the twists especially the ones near the end. Be patient with this book because the payoff at the end is worth it.

Mysterious Ways by Wendy Wunder

 

 I loved this book from start to finish! This was a really fun and emotional story that was a joy to read. It was interesting to explore the complexity of Maya's psyche. Impossible to put down and one you won't want to miss.

Strange Folk by Alli Dyer

 

 Magical realism at its finest! This book is about the powerful bond of family and the appreciation of one's heritage. I adored the setting, the characters and the descriptions of the natural world. A wonderful story which will grab a hold of you and won't let go.

Never Look Back(Jonny Mendez Series #1) by Andre Gonzalez

 

 I loved this wonderful introduction to Jonny Mendez! Jonny is a tough guy with a heart of gold. My eyes were glued to the page. The perfect blend of action, suspense and humor. I can't wait to read Jonny's next adventure! Andre Gonzalez never disappoints.

The Outlier by Elisabeth Eaves

 

I enjoyed this book for the most part. The main character was interesting with a fascinating backstory. The setting was awe inspiring. The story became sluggish towards the end. I didn't find the resolution that interesting.

House of Glass by Sarah Pekkanen

 

 What an exciting, intense and suspenseful read! This is the type of book which keeps the reader guessing. Very well done!
