Review: We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson

Review: We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson

This spellbinding and terrifyingly claustrophobic novel is a must read for horror and thriller fans alike.  Shirley Jackson’s last novel, first published in 1962 follows two sisters Merricat and Constance, whose family was murdered with arsenic in their sugar bowl. Merricat was spared because she had been sent up to bed with no dinner and Constance never ate sugar. Constance was always suspected…

Failed Friday: September 7, 2018

There’s not much I hate more than not being able to finish a book. Unfortunately, it does happen to me once in a while. I know some people prescribe to the idea that you can never give up on a book, so they slog through to the end, hating every minute of it. Thankfully, I don’t feel the need to punish myself so unnecessarily.

This month I only failed to finish one book.

Official Synopsis of The…

Audiobook Review: My Not So Perfect Life by Sophie Kinsella

Audiobook Review: My Not So Perfect Life by Sophie Kinsella

Sophie Kinsella has always been one of my go-to authors for fluffy comedic chick lit. She always delivers and although none of her books are awe-inducing they are always fun. My Not So Perfect Lifefollows Katie Brenner, a woman whose dream is to work and live in London.  Unfortunately, the world conspires against her and she loses her perfect job in marketing and is forced to move home to the…

Review: Salt to the Sea by Ruta Sepetys

Review: Salt to the Sea by Ruta Sepetys

Salt to the Sea is told from the point of view of three refugees and one German soldier, who are all destined to board the ill-fated Wilhelm Gustloff. This is a gripping and poignant story with plenty of historical significance.

This book was fast paced and I had trouble putting it down. The characters, except for Alfred Frick, a sociopathic German Soldier, are relatable, likable and interesting.…

Review: The Shining Girls by Lauren Beukes

He uses the portal to jump back an forth through time killing women who “shine” and taking trophies. He seems all but unstoppable until one of his victims, Kirby Mazrachi, is able to escape and begins hunting…

Review: The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman

Review: The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman

Neil Gaiman has always been one of my favourite authors. His imagination leaps from the page and it’s no surprise that The Graveyard Book won a Hugo Award  and a Newberry Medal.

Nobody  “Bod” Owens’ family was murdered by a man named Jack when he was a baby. He survived only through luck and the help of a graveyard full of ghosts and a mysterious man, who is neither alive nor dead, named Silas.…

Dread Nation is an alternative history horror novel set post Civil War in America. Instead of the Civil War ending with the defeat of the South by the North, the dead rise on the battlefield and force the two sides to make peace in order to save the human race.

At once provocative, terrifying, and darkly subversive, Dread Nation is Justina Ireland’s stunning vision of an America both foreign and…
