Two Books I Read This Week 📕
🧛🏻♂️ The Gathering by C.J. Tudor
A standard, procedural murder mystery. Except… our main character is a Vampire Forensic anthropologist and maybe a vampire killed the victim. Heck yes. Hope this is the first in a series.
👿 Phantoms by Dean Koontz
Finally read my first Dean Koontz! Went in expecting something sci-fi thriller-y and instead got fantastical horror?? I had to think about it, but I’ve decided on three stars. My reading experience was fairly middle of the road, but I’m intrigued to read more from Koontz.
