I really wanted to read a good haunted house story. While this was an ok story, it wasn't scary...at all. This would be a good one for readers who want a Spooktober book that is spooky but not terrifying. 

I enjoy stories with werewolves and was excited to receive a review copy of Cure.  Most stories about werewolves and shapeshifters are similar. What I enjoyed most about Cure is that it's not. It has a unique perspective which was easy to fall into.

I love Luna. She is a great character. Her journey as she discovers who she is, what happened to her brother, and where her familial history fits makes for quick reading. There are some action scenes which added some fun for me too. I do love me some action scenes. 

Overall, a well-rounded story with good writing and characters. Perfect for those Spooktober lists. I sincerely appreciate the author and Books Forward for sharing this story with me.

I was really looking forward to this one as I've enjoyed the author's previous works. This read more like a YA suspense/thriller than anything else. I typically enjoy YA but while this one was enjoyable, it wasn't great. 

I think the fact that they were supposed to be college students but acted more like high schoolers was the biggest let down for me. Not to mention, this kind of story has been done plenty of times before so the outcome was predictable for me. 

Overall not a bad story and for the most part I did enjoy it. I sincerely appreciate NetGalley for the review copy.

This was a pretty quick read, and for the most part enjoyable. I figured out early on, once the character was first introduced, who the murderer was. That really didn't take away from the story as a whole and I still ended up enjoying it. 

I sincerely appreciate the review of copy from NetGalley. All opinions expressed are my own.

Perfect beach read with a little family drama and fun mixed in.  

This author is perfect for quick and fun reading. I absolutely love the old school niche and B-Rated horror movie feels. It is everything lol. Brings back the mall rat days but with a creepy twist. Perfect Spooktober read. 

Not really much to say about this one. I didn't love it but I also didn't hate it. It read like a young adult novel, but it is definitely made for adults with the scenes that are in this one.  Overall though, it was just an okay read.

There is a reason this author is one of my favorites. His writing is so flawless and makes reading a delight.

Have you ever wondered what goes on in your neighborhood at night? When doors close and people settle in for the night. When the world becomes a mysterious place, and all sorts of weird and odd happenings commence. In the morning there are remnants of things gone by which tickle the imagination and neighbor nosiness.

I love how quirky the two main characters are and how their friendship just...is. You have to read this to understand what I mean by that. I want a neighbor like this LOL. Big Dave is eccentric and he's loveable and frustrating at the same time. I get major Kramer vibes from him and I LOVED it. His counterpart, Seff, is a writer and is more logical and rational in his behavior. It makes for an interesting and fun dynamic.

The little mysteries that surround their neighborhood gave me pause and had me wondering what goes on around me at night. This was the most enjoyable part for me and added so much to the book overall.

I absolutely love the format with the different stories that surround and connect the main one with Big Dave and Seff. It flowed well and made for a fast read.

Keep an eye out for this one. It releases on March 4, 2025 and is well worth the snag. I sincerely appreciate Scott Semegran for the review copy. All opinions expressed are my own.

What an absolutely charming and fun read! Absolutely perfect for Spooktober, especially for people who don't like gory but want a little bit of spooky.

Bless Your Heart is well-written and the characters are great too. I love when multiple POVs are done as seamlessly as this is. It makes for an easy read, one that I finished in two days.

I didn't realize this would be a series when I received this one, and I am excited for it. Give me more of the Evans women! Thank you Minotaur Books for the review copy. All opinions expressed are my own.

I love little stories like this.  Perfectly snack sized and a great start for the morning.
