Top Reads of 2014

I have decided to do another blog series on my "Top Reads" from past years and I will be providing a link of the book from Goodreads for easy access.

I will be starting it out for 2014 as that is when I first acquired my kindle and was introduced to digital books. I started to dip my toes slowly into a few indie authors here and there as I was able to get books so easily to download from Amazon. As time went on I discovered more indie authors which I truly found "tons" in the year 2016.  

So I will be adding different genres here and there as not everything I read was horror. :)  There might be a smattering of mainstream in here too so I will just filter them in here and there. Also in 2014 it seems I was "easy to please" as there are quite a few 4 and 5 star reads so this might be a long list! LOL :-)

My Top Reads of 2014 are as follows:

Horror:

Dark Side by J. M. Barlog
