The Traitors by C.A. Lynch (Re..

The Traitors was my first introduction to C.A. Lynch’s books! Before I get to the story, the narration was on point though I did need to speed it up as some of the dramatic pauses grated on my nerves. With zero exaggeration, I binged this read in one session. Lynch really leans into the unlikable and flawed characters for this “locked room” thriller. You don’t need likable characters to enjoy this story. Lynch crafted believable, and occasionally off-putting, thoughts and […]

How to Sell a Haunted House by..

Yikes. Why would I pick up a book that promises a haunted house filled with puppets and dolls? I don’t know. Anyone who knows me would find that strange. I listened to the first 1/4 through audio but decided the ebook was the way to go this time.

Today, is a short one friends since this a novella. The City Screams is an offshoot of the Ordshaw series. I’ve already binge read all of Pax’s books, and although it was mentioned that there were other cities out there that are similar to Ordshaw, I didn’t give it any real thought at the time. The idea of a fae or other beings underground in Tokyo was so much fun. I liked Tova right off the bat! I loved her […]

Review: Netted: The Beginning ..

Netted was certainly an adventure for me. Thank you Blackthorn Book Tours and the author for providing my review copy! Right from the start, K.T. Rose thrusts readers into a particularly brutal prologue in a Red Room. The horror designation for this read is more on the slasher fic side so if that isn’t your jam you’ll want to skip this one. I typically won’t read topics this brutal but the synopsis had me curious. I’m finding this review difficult […]
