ARC Review: The Gathering by C.J. Tudor – Horror
It just wasn’t good for me. I’m usually so gripped and invested in her stories, this was a definite miss for me and I hate that, but I have to be honest. Especially after absolutely loving The Drift, I’m so disappointed.
ARC Review: Horror Movie by Paul Tremblay – Horror
Creepy, sinister, haunting, and unforgettable… brace yourself for this one! Equally difficult to put down and difficult to stomach reading.
ARC Review: The Redemption of Morgan Bright by Chris Panatier – Horror
It’s a creepy, unsettling, terrifying, disturbing, nightmare-inducing, psychological/paranormal horror. This one will insert itself into your brain and never let you go.
ARC Review: Ghost Station by S.A. Barnes: Science-Fiction/Horror
I devoured this book! This is Barnes’s best yet – officially an auto-buy author for me now, I will read everything she writes. Easily going to be a favorite read of the year for me.
Best of 2023: Mystery/Thriller & Horror Books (My 4 & 5 Star Reads)
With Goodreads Choice Awards becoming largely a popularity contest, I decided that this year I wanted to share what I consider to be the best new books that I read in 2023. In no particular order, these are my top mystery, thriller, and horror reads from the past year.
Midnight Showing (Malice Compendium #2) by Megan Shepherd
This was a creepy, exciting ride and I highly recommend this series! It’s the perfect blend of horror, mystery, thriller, and even a bit of fantasy.
The Reformatory by Tananarive Due
I’m so conflicted about this one because I wanted to love it so much and there were parts that I definitely did. My biggest issue with this story is the pacing.
Last to Leave the Room by Caitlin Starling
This was a strange and creepy read! I loved the blend of science fiction and horror. Overall, I thought it was a good read, a solid three-star for me, and I’d read from this author again.
Rouge by Mona Awad
Wow! What a weird, wild, twisted ride this was. This is one of those books that you read and then need time to process afterwards to figure out what the hell you just read.
