The Hellbound Heart by Clive Barker
5.0
What can I say? Horror? YES! Strong females? Hell YES! Gore? You bet your bottom dolla!
The Shining by Stephen King
5.0
My favorite book of all time. If you have a hard time reading Stephen King like I sometimes do, this is the one for you! A constant sense of doom lingers on every page. You find yourself rooting for the "bad guy" hoping he will find his way back. The characters are well developed and share the story and offer an interesting view from all perspectives.
Good Morning, Midnight by Lily Brooks-Dalton
4.0
An interesting story. You think this is going one way and then it goes nowhere at all. I don't think that's a terrible thing but I can see why some people didn't (or wont) enjoy this as much as I did. Something I would recommend to someone who is just looking to be told a story.
Fierce Femmes and Notorious Liars: A Dangerous Trans Girl's Confabulous Memoir by Kai Cheng Thom
5.0
The Blackthorn Key by Kevin Sands
This is one of my favorite book series of all time. I loved the mix of fantasy that is actually just science. The characters are so lovable and interesting. The imagery is so good I could almost smell the dirty streets and saltpeter.
Every Breath by Nicholas Sparks
4.0
Not nearly as gut wrenching as some of these other books by Sparks, but still a fun romance.
Just Pretend by Tori Sharp
4.0
Such an adorable tale of a girl struggling with real life. The author notes that this is a true story from her childhood. It's nice to see a story that so many young people can relate with. Navigating friends and family, flip flopping between houses, and looking to the future for a career. Can't wait for this to be published to share with the community!
Melting Lover by Bukuro Yamada
I loved this! So many memorable stories. I loved the tofu boy! How creepy this could have become before love conquered all. This isn't all gumdrops though, there are some pretty dark themes going on in here. Those with a sexual assault trigger beware.
