pick4.5/5
On a distant planet, in the far future, humanity is conquered by aliens and a group of researchers are captured and forced to prove humanity's usefulness. I liked all the different perspectives throughout the book, particularly the alien perspectives. Some part of the book felt like sci-fi horror for me. I didn't figure out the bigger twist of the series until after I finished reading, but I am excited to see where it goes.

pickI love the Golden Girls (I‘m a Dorothy, by the way). Of course I had to try this. While this does not quite capture the magic of the television show, it‘s close. And really, can anything capture it (I have the same feelings for the Murder, She Wrote book series)???
Dorothy is accused of murder, and Rose has to put the St Olaf spin on her niece‘s wedding. There‘s humor with that heartwarming touch of friendship and family. ⬇️⬇️⬇️
pickLiked the locked-room mystery, the gothic atmosphere and the MM romance.
The magic system could have benefited from more explanation.

pick“If a pill could free you of guilt … would you take it?“
This was not the usual kind of topic that I choose to read but it turned out to be rather good. Even women who aren't parents can identify with the many demands on our time & being expected to multitask, so being a mother must be a whole other level. It's also about the fact that women are held to much higher standards in business & also (continued)
pickThis is a cute cozy fantasy. The cover and title got my attention.

pickThis MG horror novel was extremely well done. As a young reader, I sought out scary books, but it was often hard to find appropriate books for my age. I appreciate that horror authors are writing for a younger crowd.
In Another, Tremblay delivers creepy on a scale that readers of all ages will find perfect for this story.

pickOrchid has settled in a new town as her mother recovers from cancer. She‘s got a job tending the orchids & a new husband. But there‘s something lurking in the rivers, looking for revenge.
This novella felt like prose poetry, & I loved it. The real life horror of abusive, power hungry men paired w/ mythological creatures waiting was so well done. I would have loved for this to be expanded a bit more as the resolution felt a bit abrupt.🌕🌕🌕🌕🌗

Ronald Malfi is a horror author that I feel doesn't get enough recognition. In his newest book, that was released yesterday, he combines what reads like a true crime story with a new twist on the age-old tale of bloodsuckers.
This book was intense, packed with dark suspense and tension, and such a great read. All of the subplots weave together so well in the end. Senseless is probably my favorite read by this author.
