Blog Tour! Collision by J.S. Breukelaar

Collision is a group of dark, thought-provoking, and wonderfully told strange and speculative fiction short stories written by J.S. Breukelaar.  It was released on 2/19/19 and each story is so different and they drew me in with their oddities and prose. My favorite story is of the no-armed pianist that opened the collection and really …

A Night Worms Book Review: Kill Hill Carnage

Kill Hill Carnage was a wild, fun, gory ride of a horror book! I absolutely enjoyed myself the entire time - there was so much fun dialogue, tributes to good 80s campy horror, and the story was just all-in-all one that I thoroughly enjoyed. This story had some fun friendships and relationships - some come …

Book Review: Sadie

Sadie by Courtney Summers is a book that will stick with me for some time. It's a YA thriller/mystery, but it has loads of subjects and triggers that range from YA to adult: drug abuse, murder, sexual abuse, pedophilia, rape, rural issues and poverty, etc. It is not just your run of the mill easy …

Book Review: Behind The Door

Behind The Door by Mary SanGiovanni captivated me from the synopsis that mentions an occult specialist.  It also helped that the cover was so creepy, eerie, and menacing with these hands reaching out behind a door like they were coming for me.  This is the first time I have read a book by SanGiovanni and …

Book Review: Toroa

Toroa is Erik Hofstatter's debut novel and it soars!  On the surface, this book focuses on a girl named Mahi.  Mahi does not know her dad, her mother is the opposite of ideal, and she just met a fire-breather at a local festival who turns her world upside down in a sense.  All we know …

Book Review: Girls’ Night Out

I immediately wanted to read Girls' Night Out once I saw the cover and then scampered over to Amazon and Goodreads to read the synopsis. A trip to Mexico that ends in a missing person? YES, PLEASE! At first I got a little confused with the narration - it is told in multiple POVs at …
