The Ghost of Marlow House | Bobbi Holmes, Anna J McIntyre

Pickpick

4.3⭐️ I went into this book thinking I was reading a horror, and I was wrong. This was the July #FableBookClub horror pick for #RoaringWolfFrightNight. Though it didn‘t live up to the horror I was looking for, this was one of the best paranormal cozy mysteries I‘ve ever read. I look forward to continuing the series, slowly because it‘s very big. Lesson learned in picking a horror book, though… always check the genre!

4✨ This was the cozy ghost story I‘ve been looking for! I‘m so excited that I got to read this books and start this series. Marlow at first doesn‘t know he is a ghost until Danielle, who can see spirits, lets him know. She inherited the house which was passed down from Marlow in a very unconventional way. They work together to solve the mystery of how he actually died, and what happened to the people that were closest to him. #FableBR

I enjoy her characters,especially the animals. Mira is finally going to get to move into her new home, but finds the realtor dead in the kitchen. The next day someone starts a fire and the catastrophes continue. Jay and Aeri step in to help, but Mira believes the local police are worthless.

The Haunting of Velkwood | Gwendolyn Kiste

Mehso-so

Ughhhh. This had so much potential. Talitha Velkwood still reeling from a tragic event 20 yrs ago gets an offer to go back to her haunted street she left. That piece of haunted street that exists in its own reality separate from our own. One only Talitha and 2 other girls can enter. It could have used more characterization, I‘m not a fan of going back and forth between places where nothing really happens or gets moved forward. I did like her 👇🏼

Reggie writing ability to write about and around something without giving it away but that got old real quick. I would like a lesbian to tell me what they think about this book. Loved the ending but didn‘t enjoy the journey. Mehhh 2w
sarahbarnes This definitely sounds intriguing. Sorry it sounds like it fell short for you. 2w
Reggie @sarahbarnes AND it won the Bram Stoker award for best novel this year!!! thank you, Sarah. 2w

LeahBergen Oh, too bad! 2w
Suet624 It‘s even more disappointing considering it won the award for this year. 2w
Reggie @LeahBergen it probably didn‘t help that I listened on audio and the girl reading it was fully embodying the character sounding depressed and on Xanax or something. And it was a bright sunshine day and I‘m on vacation. But rainy day Reggie still would have thought meh. lol 2w
Reggie @Suet624 sometimes Denzel wins the Oscar when you want it to go to Russel and sometimes Russell wins the Oscar‘s when you want it to go to Denzel. 🤷🏽‍♂️ 2w
Centique I love your comment about what rainy day Reggie would have thought 😝 2w
LeahBergen 😆 2w
stretchkev Yeah this was something I gave up on, thought maybe too early. Now i don't feel so bad.

The Bram Stocker has been kind of meh this year.

Reggie @stretchkev you made the right choice. It was a soft sapphic love story dressed up in a weak, weak, story. I haven‘t read the rest of the nominees. But my hopes aren‘t high after this. 1w

If you liked The Book of Lost Things or A Monster Calls, I think you would really love this story about a young boy who moves to Brighton with his mother and new stepfather. Made me cry.

Merry Christmas in July! On this day, Will Smith defended Earth against alien invasion.

To celebrate, we will be watching all of our favorite holiday movies, reading Victorian ghost stories, & making iced horchata hot chocolate while eating an absolutely ridiculous feast of all our favorite foods.

I also highly recommend this series of ghost stories 👻 it‘s become one of our traditions to read one aloud before bed 🎄 they make great gifts, too!

dabbe What fun! 🤩😍🤩 3w

Just a stunning beautiful picture book about a ghost who feels left out because he wears a quilt while all the other ghosts have the white sheets. However, throughout the book he finds out that his uniqueness is not so bad. Love the story and the artwork.

Susanita That sounds adorable! 3w
ncsufoxes My daughter loves this book. It‘s one of her favorite Halloween books (we have a huge collection that we pull out every year to read). 3w

Meh. I'm sad as Kelley Armstrong is an auto buy author for me. This was super predictable and underwhelming.

ShelleyBooksie @LiseWorks - I love her too, that's why I am so disappointed. 1mo

Unfortunately on to my "DNF" list this one goes. I made it almost half through and just never got into the story. For me it had a good beginning and then just seemed all muddled up in a way by the middle. Like the story just lost it's direction and momentum that it started with.

Not for me at all. Reasons:

Every character is vile
Not enough suspense
Written in third person 😭
