Hide by Kiersten White

4.0

Well that was a LOT of fun! Completely blew away my expectations & the adrenaline was pumping throughout. I was left wanting more & I think that’s because the ending was just a bit too abrupt but I enjoyed nonetheless.

Bath Haus by P.J. Vernon

5.0

I’m not usually a fan of thrillers but this was described to me as a gay Fatal Attraction so I had to know more and…it definitely did not disappoint! I found myself completely thrust into this world & was on edge the entire time. An incredible read.

Sour Candy by Kealan Patrick Burke

5.0

Short but sweet. A haunting tale of supernatural gaslighting that doesn’t allow the reader a moment to catch their breath.

Yes, Daddy by Jonathan Parks-Ramage

4.0

A heavy tale of a sugar daddy situation gone wrong.
I had to take several breaks from reading due to the harrowing content but I was impressed with how these topics were handled with such care. Haunting & thrilling in equal measure, this is a very admirable debut.

We Need to Do Something by Max Booth III

4.0

Well that was a whirlwind! (Pun fully intended…sorry) Just when I felt comfortable with the premise, it shook me up and blew my expectations away. Claustrophobic & chilling, it was such a great read.

The Shuddering by Ania Ahlborn

5.0

I was hooked from beginning to end. This is the first Ania Ahlborn book that I’ve read and now I’m dying to read more. Adrenaline pumping & chills aplenty (pardon the pun) - I had a great time with this story. I’m going to have nightmares about those creatures for a while.

And Then I Woke Up by Malcolm Devlin

3.0

Such an incredible premise & truly horrifying when you really think about it. I really think this would’ve benefited from a more linear narrative purely for the impact of that reveal but it was a great read nonetheless.

Negative Space by B.R. Yeager

4.0

Like a nightmare that you can’t quite comprehend, this book left me feeling uneasy. I’m still not a hundred percent sure of what just happened but I know it was good.

The Loop by Jeremy Robert Johnson

5.0

An absolutely brutal thrill-ride that had me audibly gasping and physically flinching. Just when you think it’s safe to catch your breath, this book yanks it straight back out of you. Incredible.

Clown in a Cornfield 2: Frendo Lives by Adam Cesare

5.0

A bloody incredible follow up the first book! Filled with plenty of action, heart and terror to keep the adrenaline pumping from start to finish. Cesare manages to bring all the excitement of slasher movies to life through prose and that is ridiculously impressive!
