This popped up on a recommendation, and I saw the parental advisory, but I wasn’t expecting it to involve minors. If it didn’t have the adult material, I probably would’ve loved it because the concept was really cute. But honestly, it left me feeling pretty uncomfortable. Definitely not what I was hoping for.

This was such a good, quick read! Insta-love with a serial killer? Yes, please. Paige and Logan were so perfect for each other, helping each other heal and deal with their past trauma. They just fit together. And that ending? Definitely not what I was expecting. If you’re looking for something dark and different, give this one a shot!

I really wanted to like this one. Don’t get me wrong, it wasn’t bad—I just couldn’t get fully into it. It had its cute moments for sure, but the story felt a little too predictable for me. That said, I do think a lot of other readers might enjoy it. This just wasn't for me.

I’ll be honest, I was kinda confused at first, and the build-up felt slow. But once I got into it, I actually enjoyed it. It’s dark and twisted in a way that sticks with you. Maeve is a wild character, unhinged but fascinating. Some scenes made me stop and question what I was even reading, but that’s what kept me hooked. If you’re into unsettling stories that push the limits, it’s worth a read.

MI was so happy to finally read this! I absolutely love Junji Ito’s work, and this one didn’t disappoint. Tomie is just… wow. She’s so creepy but that makes me love her more. The art is amazing, as always, and the story’s had me hooked. If you’re into dark and twisted horror, you’ve gotta check this out!

The stories are dark and creepy in a way that just gets to you. Junji Ito makes the most random stuff feel so messed up, and I loved it. If you’re into weird, creepy horror, you gotta check this one out.

I don’t even know where to start because I LOVED this book. Everything about it just hit. Cal and Ryan? Absolute perfection. Their love, their pain, their everything—I was obsessed. I couldn’t put this down if I tried. And the side characters? I need their stories ASAP. This one had me hooked from start to finish.

I’m still getting into this series, but I did really like this one. It’s dark, messy, and kept me wanting to see what happens next. The revenge plot is crazy, and the tension between the characters makes it even better. I’m ready for more.


This one started out a little confusing, mostly with the back-and-forth between past and present. I kept waiting for something more, but I’m not sure what was missing—it just felt a little off. That said, it was still a good read for the most part, and it definitely keeps you hooked. Just a heads-up, it ends on a cliffhanger!

This was such a cute read. Yukiya and Miku’s little love game kept me invested, watching them fight their own feelings while slowly getting closer. The tension, the stubbornness—it was all so good. Loved it, and I can’t wait to read the rest!
