Wow!  This book was a fast and gripping read. It started right away and I couldn’t stop listening!  It gave me vibes of Tremors the movie. When a meteor hits Earth in a common nature park it bring with it billions of tiny and invasive worms. This book was gross and great!!!

A little spicy romance with a hint of a fairy tale. When Briar Rose loses her memory only her boyfriend from 15 years ago is there. She doesn’t remember that he was no longer with her and that she essentially hated his guts. A fun book with humor and spice.

This novella caught my interest from the start and didn’t let go. By the end I was wishing it went on to tell more of the story. It was about a medium who has some unfortunate moments in her communications with the deceased.

A different take for the horror genre. This is set in the Victorian age with a governess in a wealthy home. She has a history of nightmarish activities that the family isn’t aware of. A nice twist for horror. Great descriptions.
