The Last Session by Julia Bartz (Review)

 I know I'm behind on my review. I gave birth, then we were in the hospital. Slowly getting back at it.

Anyways onto the book. Although I liked this, I didn't like it as much as her first novel. The setting was good, but about mid way through for me it got weird. I felt it was hard to focus at times, and I don't know if was all the novel or also a mix of first time mom syndrome mixed in. The whole cult thing was creepy, and unsettling as well. I may revisit this in a few years when my mind isn't flooded with as much.

 I will continue to read the author as I have enjoyed them in the past. I thank netgalley and the publisher for a copy to read and review. Again apologies for the delay. 

Every Move You Make by C.L. Taylor (review)

 Thank you for the publisher for a copy to read, and review. 

This was a fast paced thriller, and I really enjoyed it. It kept me guessing the whole way. The one flaw I personally had with it, is at times I had trouble keeping track of who was who. There were a lot of characters, but I understand why. It keeps you guessing, and always on the tips of your toes. So I guess I can't fault it too much. I sometimes enjoy not knowing who's who in a mystery. It can make the story extra suspenseful, and fun. I didn't figure out any twists, which is always a bonus in my book. I look forward to more from this author in the future. If you're looking for a quick mystery, then give this one a try. 

We Used To Live Here by Marcus Kliewer (Review)

 

Thank you to Netgalley, and the publisher for a copy to read, and review.

This was a fun thriller, it was really engaging, and creepy. I loved the idea too. The whole time I was reading I felt so unsettled, and uncomfortable, but I really think that's the whole point of the novel. Never knowing what direction it's going to take next. I kept wanting to scream at the characters to do this or that, or even the opposite...don't do this or that. It was really well put together. The cover is also extremely well done. It screams read me. I really think this will be a big hit. I can't wait for more. 

Midwestern Gothing by Scott Thomas (Review)

Thank you to Netgalley, and the publisher for a chance to review this book.

This was a fun book filled with  four short stories. Each one different than the last. If you've read 'Kill Creek' then you should enjoy this one too.

 Each story more thrilling than the last. Each one pulls you in a different direction of thrills and horror, so if one story doesn't chill you, then next one is sure to. I look forward to whatever Scott Thomas puts out next. 

Tender by Beth Hetland (Reivew)

 

Thank you to Netgalley, and the Publisher for a chance to review this. 

This was a fun creepy story. There is very little dialogue, and mostly told through the incredible illustrations. What do you want most in life? How badly do you want it? The control, the life. This story is almost like a tale of caution. I loved the creepiness, and unsettling images. If you like horror, or anything unsettling I would say this is a good, fun, quick read for you. 

The Hitchcock Hotel by Stephanie Wrobel (Review)

 

Thank you to Netgalley, and the publisher for a chance to review this book. Let me start off with the cover. The cover is amazing. It screams read me!!! The title also just drags you in. If your a fan of horror, or even just Hitchcock, you know you're in for a wonderful ride. This novel is full of fun Hitchcock references. It's a wonderful novel of suspense. I didn't want to put it down. I highly suggest you pick this up for a read. Sit by the fire, or anywhere cozy, and read a nice cozy mystery thriller. I wasn't able to do this, but it would be even better I'm sure at a hotel. So curl up, turn on some Hitchcock Presents, and have this book by your side. You'll be happy you read it. 

How to Make A Horror Movie and Survive by Craig DiLouise (Review)

 

Thank you to netgalley and the publisher for a copy to read and review.

This was great. Any fan of horror movies...and novels will love this. I love the references throughout, and the whole feel of the novel. I've been a huge fan of horror my whole life, so this was just right for me. I really enjoyed Craig DiLouie's previous book 'episode thirteen' as well. When two of my favorite forms of media come together. Whether it be a podcast and books, or in this case horror movies and books. It makes me extra happy. I think this will make horror fans happy this year. Make sure you don't miss out on this one.
