The Hive by Gregg Olsen
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Interesting and a little twisty murder mystery. Not 5 star worthy, but good enough to check out if you’re looking for a book to entertain you for awhile.
Review: The Death Brothers: A Supernatural Awakening by Dee Rose
The Death Brothers: A Supernatural Awakening by Dee Rose
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I am reviewing the audiobook of The Death Brothers: A Supernatural Awakening.
This is an exciting story that I would recommend! The characters are interesting, and each tell a different and important part of the story. The narration is good, and keeps us wanting to listen. I especially liked the voices for the different characters. They are distinct and entertaining. The sarcasm, annoyance, and frustration comes through so well that I can “see” the interactions clearly, and can feel their emotions right along with them. With a cast full of vampires, werewolves, angels and demons, I found myself entertained though the entire book. Read or listen to this book, it will be worth your time!
Review: If It Bleeds, by Stephen King
If It Bleeds by Stephen King
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I enjoyed this book of short stories very much! I gave it 4 stars because one of the stories didn’t seem to fit in this collection. I’ll leave you to see if you agree. I absolutely loved “If It Bleeds”, and will probably read it again.
Review: Little Heaven
Little Heaven by Nick Cutter
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Great read/listen, and seriously gory. I loved how individual stories came together in such a way that I felt stupid that I hadn’t figured it out sooner. I liked The Troop better, but only a tad. I am looking forward to reading another by Nick Cutter.
Review: The Institute
The Institute by Stephen King
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
What an unusual novel! Stephen King did not disappoint. Read and see what happens to kids who are special and have unusual abilities, in a place that is a mystery and cruel. Excellent read, by King. Fans will be happy with this one.
Review: Imaginary Friend
Imaginary Friend by Stephen Chbosky
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Stephen’s book started out great! There was a definite horror novel throughout. I loved it until the end. The end seemed contrived, and rushed. It didn’t ruin the book for me though, which is why I gave it 4 stars. Worth the read.
Review: The Daughter of Zion
The Daughter of Zion by Elicia Hyder
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I absolutely love how Elicia spins her tales. Through the whole series, she hooked us from the first page, and made us care for (and hate) the characters she brings to life. Always an emotional roller coaster, but always worth it in the end. This end is the end of this series, but not the end of the characters stories. I’m excited to see what’s next.
Review: She Has A Broken Thing Where Her Heart Should Be
She Has A Broken Thing Where Her Heart Should Be by J.D. Barker
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Fantastic!
JD Barker has never let me down. He had me hooked and invested within 30 mins. I love how he builds a story and then takes us on an intense roller coaster ride. Wonderfully different, and imaginative. Please read this book!
Review: The Sixth Wicked Child
The Sixth Wicked Child by J.D. Barker
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I love the way JD writes! The final book of the series twists and turns it’s finale to a solid finish with no questions unanswered. Great book for a book club.
Review: The Soul Destroyer
The Soul Destroyer by Elicia Hyder
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This is crazy good, and may be my favorite in the series so far. It’s the only urban fantasy series I still read.
The others fantasy series are the same types of characters doing the same types of things, nothing original, especially to those of us who read 50 to 100 books a year.
The Soul Summoner series is totally original, and I promise that if urban fantasy is your jam, you will LOVE Elicia Hyders’s books.
