Horrid
Katrina Leno is one of those authors that I’m going to pick up whatever new book they come out with because she always impresses me with the stories she creates. In Horrid we focus on Jane and her mother as they move across the country after her father’s untimely death. They drive all the wayContinue reading “Horrid”
Don’t Tell A Soul
Wow. Wow. Wow wow wow. This was such a great story. From the beginning, the atmosphere was perfect. Just creepy enough that it makes the hairs on the back of your neck stick up and has you muttering warnings to the main character, Bram. I loved the angle that this story took, that Bram wasn’tContinue reading “Don’t Tell A Soul”
Home Before Dark
Ok. So I’ve been trying to figure out what kind of horror books I like and I think this one has finally sealed the deal. I love paranormal horror/thrillers. I know that feelings on this book are a little split, but I have to say that this one is a good, scary, ghost story. ThisContinue reading “Home Before Dark”
The Bone Houses
Another book that was recommended to my by the TBR program that I mentioned previously here. I read this one really quickly, in fact I read it in three sittings over two days. Needless to say, I enjoyed the story a lot. It was recommended to me as a YA Horror novel and I canContinue reading “The Bone Houses”
The Last Witness
This book was published as Black Cairn Point, but rebranded as The Last Witness in the US. For the cases of goodreads, I would search for it as Black Cairn Point as it is impossible to find otherwise. I’ve mentioned before how I’m slowly getting into the genre of horror, specifically young adult horror, andContinue reading “The Last Witness”
Burn Our Bodies Down
Well that just thoroughly creeped me out. Rory Power strikes again with a chilling horror novel about familial abuse and the secrets we keep from each other. My favorite thing about this book was that it didn’t keep the action from me. This is more character-driven, yes, but the twists and turns and mysteries areContinue reading “Burn Our Bodies Down”
The Grace Year
Another dystopian that focuses on how awful society is to women and what the long term repercussions of that could be? Sign me up, I guess? But really, this book was great. Was it perfect? No, but like not everything can be perfect. I think I would have like it a lot more without theContinue reading “The Grace Year”
Wilder Girls
What better for Halloween than a horror novel about young girls isolated on an island off of Maine because of a disease breakout (the Tox) where not just the animals are morphing and becoming more violent, but so are the girls. This book is dark, twisted, creepy, and deeply engaging. I caught my legs shakingContinue reading “Wilder Girls”
