The Hollow Places by T. KingfisherHorror/ FantasyOctober 6. 2020 by Gallery/Saga PressARC I love this author's fantasy novels, but it wasn't until last year that I realized she was delving into the horror genre as well. The Twisted Ones was FANTASTIC, which means as soon as her sophomore effort in the genre came up for review I hit my request button. The Hollow Places is pure dark, creepy, goodness. I was enthralled from the moment the main protagonist, Kara (or Carrot by her uncle), Continue Reading
Review: The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab
The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. SchwabFantasyOctober 6, 2020 by TorARC Favorite Quote: "I remember you."Three words, large enough to tip the world.I remember you. V.E. Schwab is one of those authors that takes her readers on a magical, winding journey and they just never know where they might find themselves by the end. When I read the blurb for The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue I was intrigued, so much so that I practically begged for an ARC. I read a tweet from the author Continue Reading

Kini’s Friday Kisses- Reviews for books by Morgan Rogers and Rachel Lynn Solomon
One of my favorite things about reviewing is reading an ARC and having the feeling of the book being so good that you want to tell everyone. And then being really annoying the months leading up to the release. Then the satisfaction of having other readers validate how much they loved the book when they are finally able to read it. This is the long way of me telling you that I am trying very hard to add some books with farther out release dates to my reading. Sorry to my already massive TBR but Continue Reading
