Frost Bite: Novel Review

I could picture this book perfectly in my mind as a neon-coloured, bubblegum-flavoured, skin-bitingly chilly movie that never let go.

Edenville: Novel Review

With deliciously balanced parts of horror and humour, I couldn’t put it down and loved drowning in the vibrant lore Rebelein built around Edenville and its inhabitants.

The Incomplete Artist: Novel Review

Unfortunately, the lack of suspense, tension, and initiative from the main character made for a bland read.

Sing Like A Canary: Novel Review

Right away, I got Agatha Christie vibes from the writing! The settings are luscious, I really enjoyed the strong, realistic females characters in this book though I also grew fond of the informant, an avid dog lover and puzzler, and the ending was as unexpected as it was satisfying.

Riebeckite: Novel Review

Riebeckite is the type of sci-fi fiction I live for — an utterly unique concept, badass female characters, and incredibly world building.

The Cabin Sessions: Book Review

Darkly decadent, The Cabin Sessions traps the reader in one place, sinking them deep in the mire that is the town of Burton’s twisted history. The reader learns secrets piecemeal, drowning in the suspense, as Blackthorn rushes them to the explosive conclusion.

Behind the Veil: Novel Review

While decently enjoyable, plot-wise, I found Behind the Veil predictable just because it followed a lot of standard tropes and familiar themes so nothing really surprised me in that department.

Catherine House: Novel Review

Catherine House is Gothic, atmospheric novel with a Poe-esque rotted decadence that seems to choke the reader as much as it does Ines.

The Ritual: Book Review

This book was an odd one for me, not in a bad way though. The first half of the book starts off a wilderness horror, the four friends fight against the elements, then something that seems to be hunting them in the woods. Then the second half becomes cosmic horror.

The Good House: Book Review

The Good House has an excellent mix of horror and heartbreak, the supernatural and the human. Unfortunately, the ending didn't satisfy me in the way I'd hoped.
