Review: Little Secrets by Jennifer Hillier

Posted on April 20, 2020 by Jenn

No one does psychological thrillers like Hillier! This is the sixth title of hers I’ve read and loved!  She’s done it again; I think she can’t possibly top her last book but this one…this one most certainly tops them all. … Continue reading →

Review: The Southern Book Club’s Guide to Slaying Vampires by Grady Hendrix

Posted on April 9, 2020 by Jenn

Whoah!! I’m a fan of Hendrix’s books (I’ve read every one of them) but this one quickly rose to the top as a favorite.  Toted as Dracula meets Steel Magnolias or Fried Green Tomatoes, it really is the most unique of vampire tales.  Hendrix took … Continue reading →

Review: The Return by Rachel Harrison

Posted on March 23, 2020 by Jenn

This is just what I was craving; a completely unique and chilling read. The setting was phenomenal; a remote inn, with extravagantly- themed rooms.  Having stayed at a hotel like this before, I can vouch to feelings of unease when … Continue reading →

Review: The Chill by Scott Carson

Posted on February 10, 2020 by Jenn

I enjoy a good thriller with a well-developed backstory! The story of the Chilewaukee reservoir is a haunting one; an entire village lay submerged beneath the water.  With it comes a cast of well-developed characters, both past and present.  Aaron Ellsworth, son … Continue reading →

Posted on October 4, 2019 by Jenn

Egads, this book! I often tell people that one of the many reasons I adore horror fiction, for it really makes you think!  This is no exception, but perhaps one of the best examples! Hamill excels at crafting a truly … Continue reading →

Review: Before The Devil Fell by Neil Olson #murdermonstersmayhem

Posted on October 1, 2019 by Jenn

I thought I’d ease in to this round of Murder, Monsters & Mayhem with some light horror.  Though the publisher has categorized t his as thriller, I’m thinking that anything that involves ritualistic deaths is automatically declared horror…but don’t get … Continue reading →

Review: Recursion by Blake Crouch

Posted on June 17, 2019 by Jenn

My summary just touches the surface of the enormity Crouch has crafted in this truly complex techno-thriller. Any in-depth exploration of what transpires is certain to spoil the reading experience, one that will quite literally twist and distort anything and … Continue reading →

Review: City of Girls by Elizabeth Gilbert

Posted on June 10, 2019 by Jenn

Those who know me well know that I typically hold out on reading titles people are raving about, if only to have the ability to make my own opinion without the influence of others. That said, the moment I read … Continue reading →

Review: Once a Midwife by Patricia Harman

Posted on January 15, 2019 by Jenn

I adored reuniting with Patience. I’ve come to love her character and her stories of delivering the children of Hope River.  This particular novel had vastly more influence from the outside world than previous titles in the series.  I mourned … Continue reading →

Review: The Au Pair by Emma Rous

Posted on January 9, 2019 by Jenn

I thought I had it all figured out when I started reading this title.  In some aspects I did…but Rous when far beyond what I could have ever expected! Told in alternating time periods (then, with Laura as the main … Continue reading →
