Sometimes a book can be well-written from a technical standpoint, and follow the themes of the concept, but still be difficult to connect with on an emotional level. I found myself thoroughly invested in the dramatic opening, which presented a ton of questions and was made even creepier by my knowledge of the source material.Continue reading “Book Review: Lightning Born (Monsters & Mayhem) by Sam Burns”

Book Review: Best Served Cold by E.M. Denning
One of my favorite books by this author is called Murder Husbands, so I knew I had to check out her dark romance featuring a literal demon. I was not disappointed, and this book is a perfect way to enjoy the spookiest month of the year. Note, however, that I primarily call this a darkContinue reading “Book Review: Best Served Cold by E.M. Denning”
Book Review: The Sceptic (Arcana Books #1) by Lily Morton
The paranormal Black & Blue series by this same author was a departure from her contemporary/romantic comedy books, but I am more than pleased that she continues to dabble in the realm of crossing romance with dark fantasy and horror. I hesitate to call this particular book a paranormal romance because while Will and JemContinue reading “Book Review: The Sceptic (Arcana Books #1) by Lily Morton”
Review: This is Not a Horror Movie by Sara Dobie Bauer
Disclaimer: I am friends with the author; however, I purchased this book for full price. I happen to know that the author spends time every year in Longboat Key, Florida. Her love for this place shines through the pages of this entertaining book, filled to the brim with sweetness, humor, and just enough touches ofContinue reading “Review: This is Not a Horror Movie by Sara Dobie Bauer”
Review: A Time to Rise by Tal Bauer
I’m not sure what I expected of this book, but it was about a million times better than I anticipated. The characters, story, and situation were more exciting than I could have imagined, and it all packed an amazing emotional punch at the end. It’s one of those harder to categorize books: not quite aContinue reading “Review: A Time to Rise by Tal Bauer”
Review: He Sees You When You’re Sleeping by Sara Dobie Bauer
Disclaimer: I am friends with this author; however, I purchased this ebook for full price. Another Christmas in July treat, except this novella is less sweet and more vaguely terrifying. Bauer manipulates the Santa Claus trope to create an otherworldly being who fulfills the role of Santa Claus but with significantly less cheer. Kris latchesContinue reading “Review: He Sees You When You’re Sleeping by Sara Dobie Bauer”
Review: The Quiet House (Black & Blue #2) by Lily Morton
A group of paranormal specialists and investigators are gathered at a supposedly haunted house. We’ve probably all read this story before. Except this version happens to include the mysterious and amazing Blue Billings, with boyfriend Levi and mentor Tom along for the ride. What results is decidedly more in the haunted and horrifying department thanContinue reading “Review: The Quiet House (Black & Blue #2) by Lily Morton”

Review: Unhallowed (Rath & Rune #1) by Jordan L. Hawk
I was delighted to return to the world of Widdershins, eight years beyond the original series, and check in on my favorite fictional town. The librarians of the Ladysmith Museum were always a source of amused befuddlement for me during the original series, so I was excited that one of those librarians was a heroContinue reading “Review: Unhallowed (Rath & Rune #1) by Jordan L.
