Bring on the Horror Stories!

Image
                                  First, I want to apologize for skipping last week.   Things have been kind of crazy getting ready for Olivia to arrive.   We’re getting down to the wire, they’ll be inducing me in about three weeks!   I can’t believe how fast time is going right now!                 Anyway, what you’re really here for is a new book review.   This week I’m going to be reviewing the collection of short horror stories I finished up last week, Ghostly .   The book was edited by Audrey Niffenegger and contains 16 short ghost stories written by various authors.   There are a couple of stories that you see quite often in collections like these.   I feel like “The Black Cat” by Edgar Allen Poe, and “The Be...

Sadie

     This week I read Sadie by Courtney Summers.  I was given this book by Wednesday Books for the purposes of reviewing it.  The fact that I was provided this book for free by the publisher has no bearing on my honest review.  My opinions are my own and I will always tell you exactly what I think of a book without bias.      Sadie has always been the one to care for her thirteen year old sister Mattie so when Mattie is murdered Sadie embarks on a journey to track down her killer.  When Sadie goes missing a concerned family friend contacts a Podcast in hopes that they can find her and figure out what happened to Sadie and Mattie.  The story is told from both Sadie's point of view and through transcripts of the Podcast.      I brought this book on vacation with me and I couldn't put it down.  It's an easy read and it keeps your attention throughout.  I thought the pacing was nice, it didn't fe...

She Lies in Wait

A group of teenagers enter the woods for a camping trip, one of them doesn’t come back out.  Thirty years later the body of Aurora Jackson is found in a crevasse under a tree. Will detectives be able to unravel the events of that night and determine which person in the close knit group of friends has been lying all this time? She Lies in Wait was a quick, entertaining read that kept me guessing until the end of the book.  It is well written, suspenseful, and the characters and events are realistic. The events unfold both in the present time from the viewpoint of the detectives as well as in flashbacks from the night of the crime in Aurora’s viewpoint. I enjoyed the back and forth.  If you like mysteries you’ll probably enjoy this book. I noticed that this is listed as DCI Jonah Sheens #1 so it seems there will be a series of books involving his character. I will be sure to keep an eye out for those, if they’re anything like She Lies in Wait I’m sure they’ll be worth ...
