Five "Spooky Supernatural Suspense" Stars

Who or What Lives in the Brownstone? 

A small taste of what lies within:

Allison Parker is a model that would love to live in an apartment in Manhattan and she gets her wish when she sees that there is an apartment for rent in the paper - an old brownstone. After she moves in though things kind of go wonky as her neighbors are kind of on the bizarre side and she has learned that an old priest lives on the top floor but no one seems to know much about him.  

As time moves on things go from mysterious to strange when Allison learns from the real estate agent that there is no one else living in the building and there are no neighbors except for the priest! 

What happened to the neighbors? Were they there or in her imagination? What is up with the priest that lives alone on the top floor? Is the brownstone haunted? 

No spoilers here so if you want to know more then go read this book!

Thoughts:

This was my first time reading this author and I have had this book on my tbr list for a long time. Decided to finally step into it as the cover alone just creeps me the hell out and I knew that this story was going to be a doozy and I was right! The whole book was a suspenseful horror mystery and I had a hard time putting this book down!

I kept wanting to read it and sometimes I would read late into the night. The author just wrapped me up with the spookiness of the story and sometimes the pace of the book was fast as I would keep flipping through the pages of my kindle trying to figure out the mystery of what was happening to Allison!

There is a sequel to the book that I need to read at some point plus there is a movie that I have never seen either. Looking forward to eventually stepping into the sequel and if you want a book that is going to fuel your insomnia then this is the book!

Five "Bloody Roses" Stars

Do You Really Know What's Growing in Your Garden?

A small taste of what lies within:

Something strange is going on with Sam Montgomery's mother and she intends to find out what has made her mother act weird. Sam decides to visit her mother to see if she can figure out why her mother is acting strange. 

Though as Sam delves deep into the mystery of her mother and the house that used to belong to her grandmother, Gran Mae the more she realizes that something is dreadfully wrong and everything seems to be tied to the Rose garden! 

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

Thoughts:

This was my second book by this author and I was not disappointed! Lots of mystery and suspense that eventually turns to horror later on in the story kept me riveted to the book! 

I didn't want to read anything else but this book which is unusual for me as normally I am reading two or three books at once but I felt that I needed to stay focused with this book as the mystery deepened within the story and wouldn't let me go. I wanted to find out what was happening within the story so I wasn't able to lay the book down!

I loved all the characters in this one and this book goes on a roller coaster wild ride about halfway through the book which kept me glued to my kindle as I didn't know what was going to happen next! Another great book by this author and I am planning on reading more of her books in the future.
