Her only human contact is her enigmatic old neighbor, Deek, and (via text) the house’s owner, Jules. One day, she reads a poorly written, but gruesome, horror novel… Continue reading The Last Word by Taylor Adams
This was a very ghoulish atmospheric, gothic type book. If your looking for that vibe, this book will have you covered. I think this is a bit on the YA side as I feel like the plot and character development aren't as mature as her other books. But I still enjoyed this one for the… Continue reading Gallant by V.E. Schwab
“You don't even have to admit to yourself that you love me. God knows I love you enough for the both of us." Bee Königswasser lives by a simple code: What would Marie Curie do?

Murder Road is a typical St. James book. It's a mystery/thriller with a ghost story feel. Some people have to read her books with the lights on and this one is no exception. In the summer of July 1995, April and Eddie set out on what was supposed to be the romantic getaway, heading towards… Continue reading Murder Road by Simone St. James

But Simon never makes it to the office. His running shoes are by the front door.… Continue reading When You Disappeared by John Marrs
I didn't know what to expect when going into this one and I think that is the best way. This is a non-fiction about the World's Fair in Chicago and the infamous serial killer, HH Holmes. This was packed full in information I never knew about and I thought was very interesting. The World Fair… Continue reading The Devil in the White City by Erik Larson
