Even lighter on spice than the last one, but captivating for other reasons. They draw the reader in.
Where the last book was told from Cole and Austin's POVs, these ones included Deke. Strong, smart, loyal, and a complete bad*ss he alone was worth the journey.

Comparable Douglas's Devils Night Series, this is about a group of teen boys in their last year of school, playing high-risk pranks. With money and family power, they quite literally can get away with murder. It's also about the girls who get pulled into their games.

This book was conceptually intriguing with an interesting premise. For what it is, it is even structured and executed well. The writing is both simplistic and engrossing. The characters are engaging and show growth. I read this book in one day, and I was completely engaged. Yet.......

One of my favorite horror tropes is, is it a mental illness, or is it supernatural? Or someone playing a cruel game? The best authors leave the answer ambiguous. Here, the author has done just that with skill and ingenious. The ending was suburb. #booksky

If you're a fan of things that go bump in the night, myths, urban Legends, the supernatural, and yes, skinwalkers, this is might be the book for you. Steeped in historical background of real events, the author has twisted truth with fiction to come up with this unputdownable wild ride

Historical horror of biblical proportion
Such in-depth characters. So many of them at yet so well fleshed out. I cared at each of their deaths and survival. The book dragged along in the dark. I loved it and loathed it.

They are freaking Jabberwockys!!!!
The Easter eggs to Alice in Wonderland were MADDening. I wanted more. There wasn't enough. I love how Crowe blends loved children's tales into twisted dark romance for adults.

Ania has a way of filling the reader with dread even when her characters are doing nothing more innocuous than eating ice cream. Queen of the slow burn, she holds suspense while pacing the dramas of everyday life. The thing is, you KNOW that in the end, it will all go very bad very quickly.

Everyone dies in the end. Can this man please give a character a break? Tragedy, heartbreak, death, jail, financial ruin, loss..... these are the kinds out outcomes the author gives to his characters. Characters he has made me care for, commiserate with, cheer for, pray for.

This book gives a new spin on an old tale. Transforming not just the birth, death, and resurrection of Christ but also the details in-between.
With medicine, not miracles, Yeshua healed the sick and suffering.

Take the trigger warnings seriously. This is NOT a dark romance. The sex is violent and deplorable. It's not safe. She wasn't safe. I was sick to my stomach with grief and heartache for her and disgusted with how she was used.

During July, I felt like I wasn't reading much. Too hot. Too tired. Overworked overestimated. I felt like I wasn't reading at all.
It wasn't until I went through at the end of the month and took a look at what I had read that I realized that July was, in reality, a pretty good month of reads.

While on my quest to read 25 shirt stories, I got to the short story They're Made Out of Meat. This was the only way I could find the story.
Loved every one of them and couldn't put it down. Soon, I was ordering the book Bears Discover Fire 🐻🔥 An anthology by the same author.
