Thanks to NetGalley for the arc of Pictures of You by Josh Malerman. Waking up to see that you are in a painting with somebody in the shadows watching you. Sounds scary, sounds mysterious…. The concept was intriguing and it just fell flat. I was excited to read this cause I really liked Inciden

This one made me finally break down crying. Winnie the Pooh has been a major part of my childhood. As an adult, Eeyore has been a character that I have always seen myself in. His voice is iconic, from Prime to Eeyore to even Monterey Jack from Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers ( Another huge part of my

There were wicked things within Harrow’s walls. And I was one of them. 2.5⭐️ This is a gothic YA version/reimagining of the story The Great God of Pan. The audiobook narrator carried this story with the creepy voices, of the shadows and creatures. With this being gothic, it drags, and it cont

All aboard the Ghost Bus! 4⭐️ We follow Claire as she is being haunted by a dripping wet ghost boy with dark eyes, that follows her. Fun middle grade read, especially if you want to get into horror. Kinda wish there was a bit more scares. Love learning more about some of the most hauntings in our

How to put this nicely…..there is no way to. 1⭐️ You had an interesting concept and this is what you give us?!?!? None of the characters are likable and frankly, pissed me off. This has to be The most toxic siblings relationship I have ever read from a YA. Skye, I understand that she wants

Peter Peter Shadow Eater 4.75⭐️ I will never be able to see Peter Pan normally again. This was an eerie, chill tingling retelling of a classic story of many childhoods. We follow Wendy trying to forget the past and move forward but something isn’t done with her. The lore was well done, the stor

3.5⭐️ A Spell To Wake The Dead By Nicole Lesperance The concept of covens, finding bodies in water and Egyptian lore is amazing. The book didn’t need to be over 60 chapters long. The MCs were reminding me of the girls in the craft(but nicer). But the constant repeat that Mazzie kept in every

Thanks to NetGalley for the arc of Shadowclaw by Dylan Roche. 2⭐️ This was such an interesting concept, another boogeyman - like book. This cover is amazing, and creepy. The Shadowclaw parts were creepy and adds chills to the air. But the overall story fell flat. Felt repetitive between the c

Was not expecting this book to make me cry and pull at my heartstrings 4.75⭐️ This book has similar narratives as The Body by Stephen King , and movies like Sandlot. Where the narrator is going back and forth between present day and the summer of the 80’s. The pacing did get a bit sluggish in t
