The Southern Book Club’s Guide to Slaying Vampires by Grady Hendrix A friend and I went up to Madison, Wisconsin to look at houses and enjoy the city. While we were waiting for our favorite restaurant to open, we popped into this amazing indie bookstore, Mystery To Me. They had this book on display and … Continue reading Book Review: The Southern Book Club’s Guide to Slaying Vampires
The Broken Girls by Simone St. James This was one of my Book of the Month selections. You know I love a good ghost story, so I immediately devoured this book. Coming from the same author as The Sundown Motel I had high hopes for the creepiness factor. This book, however, didn’t deliver as well … Continue reading Book Review: The Broken Girls
Horrorstör by Grady Hendrix This book came onto my radar several years ago, but I couldn’t get myself to commit to it. However, I was recently in an amazing mystery-centric indie bookstore in Madison, Wisconsin and picked up his newest book (The Southern Book Club’s Guide to Slaying Vampires) and remembered this book.

Okay, so I know it’s been a while since I’ve posted anything. I have been highly unproductive in lockdown, including not being able to concentrate on reading. But all of that changed last week when the newest installment of the Cormoran Strike series arrived on my doorstep.

It was absolutely riveting and I read it in a span of about two days. — … Continue reading Book Review: The Sun Down Motel
The Holdout by Graham Moore I first heard about this book at some point last fall. It had come highly recommended by an established author who had received an advance copy. Based on this recommendation, I pre-ordered the book on Amazon and anxiously awaited it’s arrival. It wasn’t worth the wait. — Mild spoilers ahead … Continue reading Book Review: The Holdout
The Toll by Cherie Priest There’s nothing I like more than in the fall than to curl up with a scary story. I scour the internet looking for recommendations and ‘Best Of’ lists.

The Red Tree by Caitlin R. Kiernan My favorite part about fall is getting to treat myself to new horror novels. There’s something about the changing season that makes me want to frighten myself. This book had come highly recommended as one to positively terrify its readers. And the blurb in the Kindle store had … Continue reading Book Review: The Red Tree
The Woman in the Window by AJ Finn It’s been a while since I did a book review because it’s been a while since I finished a book. Not that I haven’t started a lot of good ones, but something about this summer gave me BDD (Book Distraction Disorder). I simply couldn’t concentrate on a … Continue reading Book Review: The Woman in the Window
