Ruiz-Zafon has a style that is all his own. He writes beautifully, emotionally and makes it all very relatable. I love the way his characters are forced to reflect upon themselves in a brutally honest light. Very good follow up to “Shadow of The Wind.”

Heart-Shaped Box by Joe Hill
5.0
Loved this book! Hill has a wonderful way of getting you more involved than you even realize, from the get go. It is just as entertaining as it is creepy. I highly recommend to any fans of Horror and rock n' roll.
The Husband's Secret by Liane Moriarty
5.0
This novel blew me out of the water. I do not usually go for this type of fiction as I find it hard to venture away from Horror/Thriller. I can honestly say that Moriarty's novel changed my mind. I have read several of her novels since and this still remains on top. Engrossing, I could not put it down and she genuinely surprised me more than once throughout this story. Highly recommend to any and everyone.
Apples Never Fall by Liane Moriarty
4.0
An insight to the ways that family can make you feel pressured, neglected and loved all at the same time. Add a mysterious disappearance, plenty of blame to throw around and some strange characters to round out this enjoyable story.
What Alice Forgot by Liane Moriarty
5.0
Painfully relatable on so many levels. It made me laugh, it made me cry, it made me feel all of the things that I think most; Women/Wives/Mothers, feel as the mid-life stage approaches. Wonderful book.
Fairy Tale by Stephen King
4.0
Classic King style, entertaining, moving, and fun. Not the most in-depth fairytale ever told, but if you are a fan of King, it's a good read. I enjoyed every page.
The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires by Grady Hendrix
5.0
This novel kept me interested from start to finish. I really enjoyed the perspective of a housewife in the late 80's, early 90's. It made the narrative both frustrating and compelling. I don't want to give too much away, but I found this story to be wholly entertaining. I bought this book because a review said it was a "must read for any fan of horror," and I feel that said it best. I will be looking to read others titles by Hendrix.
