Overall, I believe the plot was very interesting and the creatures were disgusting, interesting and heartbreaking all in turn.
Following along Deshawn and Keneisha as they try to survive, make difficult choices and grow as individuals was a captivating and fun read. There were times, however, when the pacing was a bit slower. I think Uilleam wrote a great story and has wonderful potential as an author.
If you like not-quite-zombies/mutants, apocalypse and found family stories, this is a good one to pick up.

I love a collection of short stories. Especially when they are well timed, and pack a punch in a few pages. Kayla Frederick has really hit the mark with this collection. Spanning from supernatural to some pretty gory tales, this book will have at least one story to appeal to everyone. My personal favorites are "The Day You Killed Me", "Mirror Image" and "Secrets of the Quiet Visitor". Overall, each story held their own in their own right and were the perfect companion to a late night reading session before bed.

The Pound family gets more than they bargained for when hire Winifred Notty to be their governess. Ms. Notty has quite a Christmas planned for them! Unfortunately, the more she learns and stays with the family, the harder time she has sticking to those plans...
This book was a fever dream. Once I started, it was hard to put down this weird and interesting book. Very darkly funny, very gory. It was an interesting juxtaposition with the proper way the book was written versus the content of the novel. I was a bit let down at the ending, truth be told, but it was honestly the most realistic. If you love novels of mad women, this is a great one to pick up!

When an average girl is hit by a truck, she is reincarnated as a child named Ailette Rodeline. This first novel shows her getting used to her new world, friends and skills. I loved this story! The drawing style and the colors were perfect, the story was a great intro into the world. I will definitely read more of these books in the future. I loved the scenes with her family and with Bianca. I enjoyed the class/religion system and can't wait to see where this isekai takes it!

This was my first book by the author, and it was fun, steamy, enjoyable read. Overall, I enjoyed the character interactions, the love Thor had for Matty and the decent balance between smut and plot. I do wish there was more resolution with Addison's parents, I would have loved to see her gain the confidence to stand up for herself.
