The nitty-gritty: A perfectly paced page-turner that will keep you guessing, The Night Guest is a small gem of a terrifying story. The Night Guest is written by Icelandic author Hildur Knútsdóttir and translated by Mary Robinette Kowal, and even though I don’t read a lot of translated fiction, it’s one of the best I’ve […]
Welcome to Future Fiction, my reimagining of the Waiting on Wednesday meme! There are so many amazing new books coming out, that I can no longer pick just one. My goal with Future Fiction is to share at least three new books each week, a combination of recent cover reveals and books that I’ve recently […]
The nitty-gritty: Rachel Harrison takes on vampires in this fun, fast-paced story about friendships and sticking together when life gets tough. The short version: Thelma & Louise with vampires. The long version: I’m a huge Rachel Harrison fan, especially since her last book Black Sheep was one of my top five favorite books of 2023. […]

Haunt Sweet Home is described as a “spooky ghost story,” but unfortunately, that description doesn’t fit the story at all. There isn’t a single scary moment in the book, which […]

Summer of Horror 2024 has come to an end, and I read some awesome books! I didn’t get to everything on my list, but that’s OK because I had other genres I needed to read as well. Below is a graphic of the books on my original list, and the ones with an X were […]
Buckle up, September is a big month for new SFF releases, and I have quite a few I’m anxious to read. Looking over this list, it’s going to be a horror heavy month, but since we’re approaching spooky season, that doesn’t surprise me. I’m also hoping to read a couple of vampire-centric books for a […]
