Fantastic! I'll definitely be checking out more of Malfi's work. Thanks to the SNHU Book Club for turning me onto this one.

This was a tight, tense horror that was more of a creeping, eerie terror that settled into your bones, than a jump-scare horror or blood&guts horror. Very well written with nothing the felt extraneous. The ending was BEAUTIFUL. Highly recommended

My first @veschwab book, but I'd been eyeing A Darker Shade of Magic in the bookstores for a while now. I'm glad I finally pulled the trigger and got it (based mostly on the back cover description and the fact that V is lovely on twitter). I'm keeping this short and sweet (and spoiler free) for now, but I'm really looking forward to reading more of her work.

Amazing follow up to The Name of the Wind. Lovely world, intriguing characters, and a fantastic take on heroes, legends, and folklore. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Not really "horror" but I pretty much put all of King's books there. It was an okay concept, but one that definitely led itself to be short. I knew this was a short book to begin with, but I had no idea until I picked it up that it would be so small too. Not bad, but one you should only pick up if you're like me, and you need to own ALL of King's works in hardcover if possible. I wouldn't be surprised if this ended up in a King anthology at some point in the future...

Maybe not my favorite @TanaFrench book, but might be the most twisting, turning, pull-the-rug-out-from-under-you case I've read by her. Still prefer In the Woods, but this one kept me hooked without figuring it out until the hammer came down at the end. Recommended!

Good. Not as gripping as In a Dark, Dark Wood, but worth the read if you like Ruth Ware. Less based around the unreliable narrator, but still brings a good bit of in-the-dark narrator trying to find answers and uses it effectively as the protagonist tries to discover her family history.

Not a bad ending, but not completely satisfying either. I'd say, a more realistic ending. Will definitely read more from Victoria.

Great read! One of Stephen's better recent books. Hard to tell which parts he wrote, and which parts Owen wrote. Highly recommend.

Spoiler-Free Review:

LOVED IT! Great first novel from a new author. Loved the premise and the constant switching between 1986 and 2016. HIGHLY recommended if you like weird mysteries and good, quick, page-turners.

Finally! It took a while to get back into it, but the last half was thrilling. Can't wait until the next one

Not as awe-inspiring as 20th Century Ghosts, but still fantastic
