Rod Glenn - Slaughterville

5 Stars Brilliant and Magnetic What a thrilling, and chilling story in Slaughterville by Rod Glenn. This book is an adaptation created from Glenn's Sinema series (which I've read and loved). I can't help it. I love horror stories when they make sense, even if killing off a whole town makes sense. Anyway, I was very excited to read this story, and definitely was not disappointed. You know it's going to be something chilling when the book is dedicated to the demon inside! I am

Karen A. Wyle- Wander Home

5 Stars Brilliant!!! What a magnificently magnetic story in Wander Home by Karen A. Wyle. Life isn't any easier in the afterlife. You still have to deal with the memories, both good and bad of when you were alive. That goes for Cassidy, whose mother left her when she was young, but then Cassidy died. I liked Wyle's perception of the afterlife. It's a remarkable story, and the characters were interesting, and not one dimensional. We never knows what happens after death, and th

I have become a fan of this author, and his writing style. It was a very interesting story, and the characters of Monica, and Sheila, and of course, the two Lilies. At first, I didn't understand how Monica fit into the other's lives, but then I realized, it was her dream to be part of a soci

5 Stars Murder after Midnight!! What a suspenseful story in The Arboretum After Midnight by W.T. O’Brien. I have just become a big fan of this author.

Sherry V. Ostroff- MANNAHATTA

5 Stars A Magnetic sequel What a brilliant story in MANNAHATTA by Sherry V. Ostroff. This story is the sequel to Caledonia, which I absolutely loved. Two women, strong and facing adversity in their own era, their stories are 300 years apart, and have this deep connection. Anna's life is several generations before Hanna and her story is told because of Hanna. Her life is relived and comes alive because of Hanna. Both of their stories are significant, and amazing, and Ostroff s

There is another dangerous monster out there, and it's Bloodstone's job to find him. I was drawn in from the beginning. At first, I wasn't quite sure of what William was doing, but then it

Margaret Atwood - The Handmaid's Tale

5 Stars Incredible dystopian story that just makes you really think. What a remarkable story in The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood. This is the first book of Atwood's that I've read. I have to admit it's been on my bookshelf for quite a while, and I have been meaning to read it, but other reads came first. So, I finally sat down and read this book. At first, I wasn't sure what the story was about, what a Handmaid was, and then, you figure it out as you go along. This is a

TC Marti - Tarja Titan

5 Stars A remarkable paranormal story!! What a remarkable story in Tarja Titan by TC Marti. I have just become a big fan of this author! Whatever this author writes, I will read. I really like Tarja, and in the beginning, the reader learns a bit about her, and what people around her think of her, and how she is treated. At first, it reminds me of how Cinderella was treated, and of course, Tarja is different, so that lends to her being plied with medication. Tarja has a gift w

This is a grand story that has a lot of sub plots, including deception and manipulation, and a real-life feel of domestic violence. I am very fond of this author's work, and this story just hits all the notes of suspense, romance, and even forbidden love and the sense of not knowing who to trust. Erin may have had obstac

Anonymous- Go Ask Alice

5 Stars It's a powerful read, and it should be read by many Go Ask Alice is a powerful read, as it is the story of a young girl, and the words of her life that she shares through her diary. I remember when I first read this book, I was probably about 13 or 14. It shares the life of "Alice" and comes from a diary of a young girl, who is introduced to LSD when her drink is spiked. Her life is full of ups and downs, including addiction to not just drugs, but also an eating disor
