Review: Two Days Gone by Randall Silvis
Wow. This is certainly not a book for the faint of heart. From the very beginning, Silvis takes his reader into a dark and harrowing journey. The slaughter (there isn’t really any other way to to describe it) of his … Continue reading

Review: A Boy Named Christmas by Matt Haig
I’m a sucker for retellings of the story of Santa Claus. Add the fact that this is written by Matt Haig, author of a few of my favorite adult novels like The Humans and The Radleys and I’m sold! That said, it’s not … Continue reading

Review: Holding up the Universe by Jennifer Niven
Since November, I have been in the biggest of book slumps. I have no problem losing myself in an audio book on my commute to work but when it comes to sitting down and reading a book, I’m hopeless. I … Continue reading
Review: I’ll Take You There by Wally Lamb
Wow. What an experience. What makes this even so exhilarating is how my experience and considerations for this book transformed as I read it. I’m no fan of film history. I get that there are a great number of people … Continue reading

I knew I needed to throw in some non-fiction as part of this year’s Murder, Monsters & Mayhem. When I was approached to review this title, I knew it was the perfect fit. So many of us know about the Warrens, … Continue reading

This review copy has been sitting in my book pile since the spring. When I saw it sitting there, all lonely and unread, I quickly added it to my pile of books to review for Murder, Monster & Mayhem. Then … Continue reading
Review: The Women in the Walls by Amy Lukavics
A few weeks ago, I listened and loved Daughters Unto Devils, the author’s previous work. That title chilled me to the bone. This one? Not so much. While the concept is chilling (generations of women haunting their descendants) I don’t … Continue reading

Review: And the Trees Crept In by Dawn Kurtagich
I’m going to be intentionally vague in my comments regarding this book. Everything, from the beginning to the very final pages, is not as it seems. A genuine horror novel at its finest, the reader forced to question everything the … Continue reading
