Posted February 10, 2023 by Tammy in 4 stars, Reviews / 20 Comments

The nitty-gritty: C.J. Tudor’s latest is an action-packed dystopian thriller that rubs elbows with the horror genre. Tense, scary and atmospheric, this was a fun one! To call this story “crazy” would be an understatement, but perhaps if you’ve read C.J. Tudor’s books before, you’ll know what I mean. This was my first book by […]

The nitty-gritty: The gang is back in this second book in Kendare Blake’s Buffy-inspired series, with plenty of action, laughs and monsters.

The nitty-gritty: Twisty and entertaining, The Villa offers up interesting characters and relationships and a compelling mystery. The Villa certainly has an intriguing premise, and for the most part, I thought all the parts came together in a twisty, complex story. It was a solid four star read for me, and even though I have […]

The nitty-gritty: A clever twist on the haunted house trope, Episode Thirteen is both weird and terrifying. Craig DiLouie is one of those authors who never writes the same book twice, and Episode Thirteen is a great example of that. What starts out as your typical haunted house story—creepy old house, strange noises and lights, […]
