What a journey it has been. Just another readathon with The Spirit Bares Its Teeth. This book is another level of horror. The story is beyond my imagination. I called The Spirit Bares Its Teeth as ❛sick❜, but it was a ❛sickeningly good❜ one.
The plot of the story was mindblowing. And I love the setting to be in a school that has too many secrets laid behind. Like it's a horror... but has thriller vibes to it.
And the rabbit. I think I should talk about it. I tried to imagine how to be Silas Bell; lived his life with the rabbit inside his abdominal that sometimes made him hard to breathe? I imagined myself as him. But, I adore Silas so much. He sometimes maybe careless. But, the fact that he is a witty boy, I applaud him.
But, most of all... the C-section scene was the most iconic for me. Thank you, A.J. White for another thrilling horror story. You're indeed brilliant!
5⭐ worthy book; once again!

I lost for words of the story from this book! This book was beyond amazing despite of being religious horror genre. I was confused at the start. But, as I went on... I started to understand and can imagine what the Seraph looked like.
The worldbuilding was a top-notch! The feels of the horror... I felt that was real! This book is briliant! I never read a horror genre of book that written like this.
A.J. White, thank you for an amazing story of Benji. I love him so much. And the representation of queer community through this book spoke volume. You are brilliant. And also, this book sums up my collection of queer novels with trans main character. Thank you, thank you!
I left 5⭐ for Hell Followed With Us. Can't wait to read The Spirit Bares Its Teeth. Maybe... next month?😁

Their Vicious Games just a brilliant debut novel that bring crossover between Ace of Spades and Squid Game. I love the plot is truly like the Korean drama Squid Game and with the spices and sprinkles of The Bachelor instead.
I love the story, I love the plot twist that left myself gasp at who were the main villains of this story. From thriller book, I tried to be a detective. Keep guessing and guessing. And my guess was wrong. That's why this book has a brilliant story and plot twist. I love it!
And thanks to Joelle Wellington who is the mastermind behind this book because I can see a Squid Game plot through Their Vicious Games. And of course. I love the ending. I love Adina, Toni and of course... Saint. Thank you, thank you!

This story is really heartwarming. I love the story. This is my first time reading Abdi Nazemian's book and I really love it.
The writing style is very suitable for me.
Gonna try Abdi's other book. I love having new author in my list. Thank you!🤍
