Review: The Children on the Hill by Jennifer McMahon
The Children on the Hill by Jennifer McMahonGothic Horror/SuspenseApril 26, 2022, by Gallery/Scout PressARC Review by Angela I've kind of been on a gothic suspense/horror kick for the last couple of years. In between my romance and mysteries, I find myself reaching for something with that creepy, dark, scare factor. I discovered this author last year when she released The Drowning Kind and immediately added her to my auto-buy shelf. The Children on the Hill is told in alternating Continue Reading
Review: Nettle & Bone by T. Kingfisher
Nettle & Bone by T. KingfisherFantasy/HorrorApril 26, 2022, by Tor BooksARC Review by Angela As much as I adore this author's romantic fantasies, and I absolutely do, sometimes I actually prefer her horror novels. If you haven't read The Hollow Places and The Twisted Ones, you should definitely get on that. This is very much a novel in two parts. The beginning introduces our main protagonist and tells the story of how she came to be on the perilous mission she is currently Continue Reading
Review: Highway to Hail by Sierra Dean
Highway to Hail by Sierra DeanRainchaser #3Urban FantasyApril 26, 2022- Self-publishedARC Review by Angela This was one of my most anticipated releases this year. The previous installment, Driving Rain, came out in 2017 and left off on a HUGE cliffhanger. So for five years, I've kept my fingers crossed that this author would release another book in this series and put me out of my misery. And now it's finally here! I was kind of worried that with the wait in between releases I would Continue Reading

Angela’s Minis- Beneath the Stairs Jennifer Fawcett and The Last Eligible Billionaire by Pippa Grant
Beneath the Stairs by Jennifer FawcettGothic Mystery/Suspense2/22/22 by AtriaARC I picked up Beneath the Stairs for two reasons: this is a new to me author and I'm always on the lookout for new authors in genres I enjoy and the summary sounded interesting. This book had everything to keep me engaged... a ramshackle house out in the woods, rumored ghosts of a murdered family, two women haunted by their visit inside the house as young girls, and chapters that skip from past to present-day Continue Reading

Review: The Book of Cold Cases by Simone St. James
The Book of Cold Cases by Simone St. JamesGothic MysteryMarch 15, 2022, by Berkley BooksARC Review by Angela I will pretty much read anything Simone St. James writes.

Set in Claire Lake, Oregon, The Book of Cold Cases starts out slowly by introducing Shea Collins, by day a receptionist at a medical Continue Reading
