pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I love this authors lyrical way of telling a story. It almost feels like a fairytale . There is something ethereal and calming the way she writes no matter how brutal the subject matter. This was an excellent conclusion to this 2 books series with a bittersweet conclusion.

I don‘t have a specific book I turn to for comfort but I do have a genre and that is cozy mysteries!
pickThis was such an engrossing book. Yes, it did have some of the cliched horror tropes, but overall it was so unique and exciting. I felt my skin crawl as I listened with bated breath, to see how things pan out. Definitely a must listen. It is low on the horror side - with the horror elements coming up only in the final section of the book. For the largest chunk, the author gaslights the reader, by making his characters intriguing and unreliable.
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️A beautiful written book about an ugly subject matter. Trigger warning, child abduction and abuse. I loved the way the author wove in fairy tales as a coping mechanism to help deal with horrific circumstances and the power of imagination used to survive.
pickThis is the 2nd book I have read by this author, and while I didn‘t love it like I loved Brother, I still thought it was good. When 10 year old Stevie‘s 12 year old cousin (and best friend) Jude goes missing, he is determined to find him. But when Jude suddenly reappears, Stevie knows something is wrong. Terribly wrong. And he has to do something about that. Because it suffers in comparison to Brother, 3⭐️, but I read until 2am, so 🤷♀️
pickAfter reading some of Rossons‘s current work, I found that The Mercy of the Tide was atmospheric, impactful, and beautifully haunting. Imagine how sorrow and loss becomes a vortex of grief. And yet, the sudden tragedy is just a warning for a larger catastrophe. There is a string of connection with characters, though all are individuals. A short, but terrific, read.
so-soCreepy creature horror. I love Ania Ahlborn, but this was not my favourite. I didn't care for the POV of the kid, once the second POV came in it was better. The ending also left me with more questions than answers.
Started this one on my lunch hour
pickReddit is one place that spawns compelling authors. Kilewers‘ debut novel is no exception. The dimensions of one‘s own mind and fear of being ‘erased‘. The obsession we have with old homes/places. Impossible space like House of Leaves. And brilliant composition. Glad I picked this book up-I couldn‘t put it down!
