A few hours in my hotel room with a book before heading to a friends house to celebrate Samhain.

Looking forward to getting into this one!

Life has been busy lately, cutting into my time and capacity for reading. Hopefully soon I will be back to reading more regularly. In the meantime, here is my last, now, next!

Last: Eldritch - Keri Lake
Now: Immortal Dark - Tigest Girma
Next: The Games Gods Play - Abigail Owens

A grid of six book covers, each with a caption below it. Top Row, from left to right: * "CURRENT READ": The book cover titled "STORM OF SECRETS and SORROW" by Melissa K. Roehrich, part of The Legacy Series.

It shows a stylized, ominous image with a figure bound in chains, a small house, and a red and orange color scheme. * "A BOOK THAT SURPRISED YOU": The book cover titled "WHEN THE WOLF COMES HOME" by Nat Cassidy. It has a dark and foreboding forest scene with a silhouetted figure.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This audiobook made my 4 hour drive yesterday go by so quickly. Adding to my favorites of 2025 list!

A horror book cover for When the Wolf Comes Home by Nat Cassidy. The top of the cover has the text NO ONE WILL BE SPARED. A large, menacing werewolf with glowing eyes and bared fangs peers through a window, its claws tearing at the wooden frame. The title is vertically aligned down the center of the image, and a quote from Esquire, "[One] of the best horror writers of this generation," is centered toward the bottom, just above the author's name.
