3.5 stars.I felt this book was disjointed. I didn't like the main character. He was written as if he were detached from his own story, but we were supposed to be interested. I was, however, interested in what it was about the “Horror Movie” that made it have a cult following. I did want the mystery of what happened on set to be solved. It's kind of a weird book but not bad.
Holy crap! What a book! It's the creepiest book I've read in my life! Bela is a girl who has a “friend”. Is it an imaginary friend? This book is told from the child's POV. I think that is what makes The Other Mommy so scary and menacing. Also Bela's parents aren't abusive but their confessions when they think she is sleeping make it more uncomfortable IMO. This is my favorite Josh Malerman. If you're in for a good scare I HIGHLY recommend this book.
This book is just how it's described a book for grownups who still look for the magical lands of their youth. It was wonderful and magical and even though it was more romantic than I usually like I had no problem with the romance in this book at all. I thought it was sweet. I loved all the main characters but Emilie was my absolute favorite. She was so quirky and fun. I liked the writing style and the pacing. This is my first book by this author and I plan to read her again. Highly recommend
I was enthralled with thos book. Told from mostly 3 different characters POV. They are former foster kids who are summoned because some human remains (bones) were found on the home of where they stayed when they were in foster care. The foster mother is cruel of course like a stereotypical foster parent. Even though I don't like stereotypes this was well written. I do like how the girls become sisters.
I'd recommend this to anyone who like a thriller. I will definitely be reading this author again.
A historical fiction book that has spiritualist who are sisters. It also has a Sapphic love story. The author does change character POV about halfway through the story. This book made me feel so bad for Sylvie. I really liked her character. However, Charlotte was slightly unlikeable to me. I don't mind an unlikeable character but she did rub me the wrong
This was my first Jeneva Rose book, and I'll definitely be reading others by her. This is a good mystery/thriller about secrets and lies. loss, and family. I think the pacing was good and the discovery of what happened in the past. The climax was really good. I'd recommend this book as long as you don't mind multiple POV
3.5 stars rounded up.This was a pretty good mystery thriller and the ending made me nod with knowledge of how I'd been right about Daphne being the killer the whole time. The middle of the book was slower paced but by the end with Hadley it had picked up again. Would be willing to give this author another go.
I liked Libby as a character. She is flawed and has mental health issues. Then her mom moves them to this weird creepy house with soon to be discovered bug themed stained glass window. The mom does it to give the family mostly Libby a fresh start. This book had a lot of character development in my opinion and it was a good creepy little read. I'm impressed by the writing so I may try Ann Fraistat's other novel. I'd recommend this to my friends.
This story has ghosts, but they're not creepy or scary. It's a sweet story about a woman who stands out in a small community and her life in it. Dottie is all alone now. Her husband is non-responsive and in a vegetative state, and she goes along with her life until along comes a neighbor girl Magdalena. It's a story how you can feel love for someone even if they're not your family. I will be checking out Candi Sary's other works because this was such a wonderful story.
I wish I had reread My Heart is a Chainsaw before this book I didn't recognize some of the characters who were in Chainsaw However I still enjoyed the HELL out of this book! It was a real puzzle to figure out who the murderer was in each instance Although you shall never fear Jade Daniels is there to save your butt like the final girl she is
