🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Five "Spooky Spine Shivers" Stars

A small taste of what lies within:

The Cliffhouse Lodge has been around since 1887 and it holds a dark secret past as there was a murder back in the 1920's by a serial killer called the Bodice Ripper along with some other dark happenings in the past and the ghost of the Blue Lady. Now there are murders happening in the town and the Blue Lady walks the streets once again. Will the townspeople be able to protect the town and learn who or what is behind the murders? 

No spoilers here as if you want to know more then you will have to go read this book! 

Thoughts:

This book had tons of spooky vibes weaved within the story and there is quite a bit of haunting action as well! Once again I was transported into the world of both these authors as the story flows smoothly along and stays on quick pace of spooky happenings. Loved all the characters in this book along with supporting characters as they all seemed to be fleshed out well. I am looking forward to reading more books by these authors in the future as I own quite of few books by both of them.

My Review

Consumed by Evil (The Newport Curse #2) by John Durgin

 

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Five "Creepy Evil Vibes" Stars

A small taste of what lies within:

The town of Newport is once more in the limelight as the evil that consumed the town is back with a vengeance and the friends (Howie, Corey, and Bethany) are once again in the evil clutches of what lies within the town. There is no escape this time around and the friends will need to do whatever they can to make sure that Newport is a safe place to live once again! 

That is about all I can give out with a small taste so if you want to know more then go read this book! Though you will need to read the first book to understand what takes place in this book. 

Thoughts:

This book was filled with everything evil this time around including demons and there was tons more blood and gore action too! The pace of the book moves fast and I read the last half of the book within about three hours! The evil penetrates deep within this story and the characters of Howie, Corey, and Bethany were brought forth closer within this story as you can feel how their friendship has grown. 

The author, John Durgin has the magical ability to weave the story around the reader and make them feel that they are part of the story. I could feel the evil vibes pulsating throughout the book and it felt like I was there experiencing everything the characters were having to go through as well. 

This book seemed scarier to me then the first book as there was quite a bit of occult happenings within this book and more creepy situations. Another great book by this author and it is going on my favorites shelf.

My Review

My Evil Fucking Neighbor by Crystal Lake Publishing & Sinister Smile Press (a division of Crystal Lake Publishing)

 

🌟🌟🌟🌟

Four "Beware Naughty Neighbors" Stars

Since this book is an anthology then I will be listing out a handful of stories to just give you a small idea of what lies inside this book and I am handing out a cryptic note next to the stories listed on here. I did enjoy all 14 stories that are within the pages of this book but do not want to give too much away about what lies inside as the readers will need to experience the stories first hand.

Jay Bower

Pine Ridge Homeowners Association: "Welcome to the neighborhood or welcome to hell". 

M J Mars

The Moondial:  "Don't mess with the moondial or else...."

Candace Nola:

Toddler Toy Graveyard:  "Nosy neighbor gets just rewards"

Mike Salt

Agoraphobia: "Not of this world"

Nick Roberts 

Come to the Shed: "Normal shed or maybe not?" 

Megan Stockton

Solitary: "What is really going on behind the prison bars?" 

Thoughts:

This was a great collection of neighbor stories gone wrong. Lots of extreme situations and the foreword by author, Duncan Ralston puts the book more into perspective of what to expect within all the stories. So if you live close to neighbors you might want to look closer at them as you never know what goes on behind closed doors.

The Crimson Corset (The Vampires of Crimson Cove #1) by Alistair Cross

 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Five "Vicious Vamps" Stars

Vampires Galore! 

A small taste of what lies within:

Crimson Cove is a small town in California that harbors an ancient and evil secret where creatures of the night roam and play. Cade Colter decides to move into town and stay with his brother Brooks but doesn't realize the danger that is simmering within the town as there lies within Crimson Cove vampires that are gearing up for a war and the brothers seem to end up in the middle of the fight! 

That is about all I can hand out with a small taste without giving away spoilers so if you are intrigued then go read this book and series!

Thoughts:

This story just grabbed me from the get-go as I do love to read vampire stories and this one has tons of action above the sheets and beneath the sheets as well! Lots of steamy sex action that was making my mirrors in my room foggy! 😆

There is tons of other action too along with lots of suspense, disappearances, and murder. The pace of the story was slow at first with background world building and the introduction of characters as there are quite a few characters within the story but then the book picks up speed and things start rolling along at a faster pace. I was literally up till 4 am one morning reading this story as I just could not put it down! Read about 30% within a couple of hours! 

I loved all the characters in this story as the author goes into some back stories with some of the characters to round them out and the characters begin to mesh well within the story. Looking forward to continuing on with the series as there are a few books to read yet and I own them all.

Five Nights in a Haunted Cabin by Tamara Thorne & Alistair Cross

 

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Five "Spooky Boo" Stars

Creepy Haunting!

Thoughts:

I am not doing my traditional small taste with this blog review as there would be spoilers so going to just give out my thoughts on the story. 

This is a true paranormal/haunting tale where the authors, Tamara Thorne and Alistair Cross got together to collaborate on a book and decided to work on the book in a haunted cabin out in the backwoods in California. This was kind of a short book but there was quite a bit of haunting happenings within the story that kept me glued to my kindle! 

This book was one creepy story and I love to read about true ghost/paranormal stories. I have read quite a few of them in the last six or seven years. True hauntings always seem to creep me out. From what was told within these pages the story gives off major haunting vibes and everything that both authors experienced brought the visuals of what they were experiencing to life on the pages of the book!  Another great book by these authors and this book will be going on my favorites shelf. So if you want to experience the otherworldly side then go check out this book!

Five Deaths for Seven Songbirds by John Everson

 

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Five "Thriller Killer" Stars

A small taste of what lies within:

Eve Springer has the opportunity to go to Belgium to play with the musical group the Songbirds and studying under the famous Professor Earnest Von Klein as she has been wanting to be a Songbird her whole life, but when she arrives there is a murder of one of the Songbirds. 

As she gets settled into the campus things go south as there is another murder of one of the Songbirds. Eve wonders what is happening and why are there murders when she just arrives. The murders throw suspicion toward Eve since she is a newcomer as she always seems to be in the wrong place at the wrong time and the police will not leave her alone as things point in her direction but when more murders start happening everyone is wondering who it is and why are they killing the Songbirds!

That is about all I can hand out with a small taste so if you are intrigued then go grab this book! 

Thoughts:

The author, John Everson pays homage to Giallo the Italian mystery thrillers and this story was one twisted, mysterious, suspenseful, heart beating ride! I love crime thrillers almost as much as I love horror and this story just kept me turning kindle pages with the speed of light as there is so much that happens within this story that there was no time to breathe!

There is tons of suspense and mystery with trying to figure out who the killer is but the author never lets it be known till the end of the book who is responsible for the murders. This book was one of the best crime thrillers I have read in awhile and I read the last half of the book within just a few short hours as I could not put it down!

My Review

The Stones of Landane by Catherine Cavendish

 

🌟🌟🌟🌟

Four "Magical Mystical Mystery" Stars

A small taste of what lies within:

This book follows three timelines: 2023, 1900 and 1967

The 2023 timeline follows Nadia and Jonathan as Nadia loves the Stones of Landane and wants to share her passion of the stones with Jonathan but Jonathan soon learns that Nadia's obsession with the stones do not seem healthy for her mentality. 

The 1900 timeline follows Olivia and Grant as Olivia meets Grant on an archaeology quest with a team from Cambridge University that are interested in studying the stones, but Olivia's father is not happy with her being on an archaeological team as he thinks the stones have an evil influence on people.

The 1967 timeline follows Shelly and Vicki as they want to attend the Summer of Love festival but things become weird as they have odd dreams and do not know what is behind them, but when there are disappearances is when things go awry and they both wonder if it is attached to the stones. 

That is probably more than a small taste but I had to give a small backstory for each timeline to give an idea of what is in store with the mystery of the stones.  If you want to know more and are intrigued by these backstories then go grab this book and let the author take you into a magical mystical mystery of haunting suspense!

Thoughts:

Once again I found myself captured by author Catherine Cavendish as she took me on a mysterious journey into the fictional world of Landane. 

The timelines of all three back stories for the characters goes into a deep depth of history with the stones and what happens when the characters are among the stones. Interesting enough the stories of the characters might be fictional but the history of the stones are real as there is such a place that does exist. 

Another great book by this author filled with haunting tones, suspense, and mysteries.
