Horror is my go-to genre, and I’ve read so much that it’s hard to find a thing that hasn’t been done to death (pun-intended) or overcooked until it’s mushy and just tastes sub-par on the palate. Heather Herrman’s debut Consumption is chock full of gore and depravity on a scale that makes sense in a […]

Jacqueline Talbot hasn’t led an easy life since she was orphaned at a young age, shuffling from foster home to home ever since. She’s been seen as a bit troubled since her father received the death penalty for murdering several people after her mother passed away. But just when the last foster home seemed like […]
Horror is my favorite genre to read and to watch, and in young adult, it’s a rare thing to find a book that gets horror right. Shutter is one of those rare gems, and I haven’t read something that hit all of the notes just right–the scares, the gore, the kick-ass hero(ine), the creepy atmosphere, […]
I’ve really enjoyed the Ellie Jordan, Ghost Trapper urban fantasy series so far. There’s the spooky atmosphere of haunted Atlanta, evil ghosts and poltergeist, and a cast of characters with many layers so you can really dig into the story and fully enjoy each and every person that appears within the pages. Plus, each book can […]
I love a good detective story, and the only thing I love more is a great ghost story. The Ellie Jordan series is the best of both worlds for me, combining great investigations–digging into the past of a location to determine who may be haunting the house, and more importantly, why. And these books also feature […]
The weather in Chicago has grown cool and Halloween is almost here, so I’m in the mood for spooky tales about ghosts and ghouls and monsters. J.L. Bryan has written about some form of all of these before, but his latest offering focuses on hauntings and he kicks off a new series featuring a kick […]
Wonderfully Wicked is such a stunning and layered fantasy meets paranormal romance, and I certainly enjoyed every second that I was absorbed in this unique world where Dreamcasters and Valkara co-exist in our reality. Kalila has always been different. She’s always had nightmares instead of dreams, and the creatures in them have always been able to […]
Seventeen-year-old Elan’s life revolves around debunking psychics, proving that they are pulling the wool over unsuspecting and vulnerable people’s eyes. When her famous diabetic mother, who is the host of a popular ghost hunting television show, goes missing in Egypt while taping an episode for the series, Elan has to travel there to help find […]
Things That Go Bump Asylum by Madeleine Roux is one of those fantastic spooky tales from the celebrated round-the-campfire vein. Starting out in a deliciously creepy setting, an insane asylum turned into a college dorm and following the traditional horror arch of unreliable narrator, people making bad decisions in the dead of night and creepy paranormal […]
My Thoughts: I haven’t heard anything but good things about Holly Black’s books, and when both Danny and Pushy read and reviewed The Coldest Girl in Coldtown, I read the description and figured that I could jump in with both feet since I haven’t read anything vampires in a while (at the time of my listening), […]
My Thoughts: It’s no secret that JL Bryan is one of my short list of insta-read authors. It could be a grocery list at this point and I’ll take a stab at it, knowing that I’m in for one hell of a heart-pounding and spooky ride down the aisles with demons, witches, evil fairies, kick […]
My Thoughts: Four men and two women wake up on a deserted island in the Florida Keys. It doesn’t take long for them to find the common thread that they all have: an addiction to heroin that rules their lives. Off the coast on board a boat, their sadistic kidnappers observe them, waiting for the […]
