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!

 

Dead Fake( Bleak Haven #1) by Vincent Ralph

 

 

 

 I loved this exciting, suspenseful and twist-filled book! The characters were interesting and the dark atmosphere throughout. The ending was really intense and surprising. I look forward to reading the next book in this fun series and I really love the hidden skull image on the cover!

Dracular.Exe: Twisted Tales of Familiar Faces by R.J. Clark

 

 

 Wow, I loved every minute of this dystopian Dracula retelling! It was exciting, suspenseful, and unique. Another excellent book by RJ Clark!  

Afterlife With Archie #2 by Roberto Aquirre-Sacasa, Franceso Francavilla(illustrator), Jack Morelli( illustrator)

 

 
Another excellent issue! There was more action, more tension and higher stakes. It'll be interesting to see what happens in the next issue.

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.

Afterlife with Archie #1 by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, Francesco Francavilla(Illustrator), Jack Morelli(Illustrator)

 

 I loved this fun and creepy Archie comic! Riverdale and horror go well together. The artwork is stunning! I can't wait to read the next issue.

 

 

The Fair Weather Friend by Jessie Garcia

 

 Another excellent read by Jessie Garcia! This book was really suspenseful and had an intriguing cast of characters. The author really delved into their psyches and all of their secrets. The plot was very complex with many fun twists. The ending was really jaw-dropping because I never saw it coming

Fog Descending: House of Crows # 2 by Lisa Unger

 

Another exciting read in this exciting series. I love how each instalment is told from the point of view of a single character and the reader learns their backstory. Events from the first book tie in directly with those that occur in this instalment. Because each book is short the action never lets up. I can't wait to find out what happens next!

Oxford Blood by Rachel Davis Featherstone

 

 I loved this suspenseful and exciting read! Eva was a great main character and I really enjoyed getting to know her as the story progressed. The final twists at the end of the novel were surprising. This book was very well written and a joy to read.

Dark Sisters by Kristi DeMeester

 

 I loved this dark, suspenseful and engaging read! It was very easy to sympathize with the women in this novel. DeMeester expertly wove a tapestry of interconnected stories each with a common theme. Very well written. Once you pick up this book, you won't be able to put it down.

My Roommate Fron Hell by Cale Dietrich

 

 I loved this very entertaining and fun YA romcom. I loved that one of the main characters was a demon. Owen and Zarmenus are great characters so it made it easy to care about them. This book was a real page-turner.

Not You Again by Erin La Rosa

 

I loved this romcom with a twist! Adam and Carly were easy to care about. I love stories with time loops so I was hooked right away. Very well written and fun to read! This book was impossible to put down.

The Perfect Hosts by Heather Gudenkauf

 

  This book was a lot of fun to read! I loved the characters, the setting, and the twists. This thriller kept me guessing throughout and was very suspenseful. Very well plotted and well written. This read was impossible to put down.

Final Cut by Olivia Worley

 

I really enjoyed this fun and suspenseful read! I'm a slasher movie fan so this book was right up my alley. The characters were well developed and it was easy to care about what happened to them. There was a lot of suspense and misdirection. Every time I thought I had guessed the killer's identity, I was wrong. I loved the ending! This is one book you won't be able to put down.
