Human by Alycia Linwood FREE on Kindle Ariel is a 17-year-old girl whose life takes a completely different turn on the day she comes late to school. There’s a new very handsome dark-haired boy, Devin, in her class, but to Ariel’s surprise everyone else seems to know him, and her best friend claims he’s been going with them to school for years, except Ariel is sure she has never seen him before. Convinced her friends are playing with her, Ariel pretends nothing weird is going on. She even considers the possibility of having a brain disease… until she starts having visions of unknown people with wings and unusual eyes. What’s worse, her visions hint that Devin might be the demon who came to the human world to take an angel to Hell. As she becomes more aware of existence of angels and demons, Ariel finds out her sister is the angel demons want to take. Determined not to let anyone harm her sister, she will do anything, even try to kill the demon on her own. But can she really kill Devin when he appears so human, and what will she do when she reveals the secrets surrounding her true nature? Because, let’s face it, a girl who can see both demons and angels in her visions can’t really be human.

Sleeping Handsome by Jean Haus FREE on Kindle Paige should have never agreed to do her best friend’s semester English project. Community service sucks. Especially when you have a major social life. But it’s that or possible expulsion from school. Reading to a boy in a coma is just plain creepy, but her English teacher somehow thinks her acting skills make it the perfect community service match. But when she finds the boy’s journal hidden among his books, things turn from creepy to interesting. Very interesting. The boy who looked like death slowly comes alive as she reads his own words to him. And each day Paige is wishing more and more he would wake up.

Dead Perfect by P.G. Shriver FREE on Kindle My dreams never included falling in love. Graduating top of the class, going far away to college and starting a life in a place where my alcoholic mother could never find me were the top three goals on my list. Then the unexpected accident with Mother, after her regular doses of vodka, altered all of that. With her gone, my life and my perspective changed forever. I decided to return to life and school. That’s where I noticed him, my Adonis, roaming the halls, searching for someone. Was it me? Love at first sight? Really? Cautiously, I reasoned the feeling suddenly spawned as a rebound to recent loneliness, but reasoning didn’t matter. Fantasies of him stole my thoughts. He was the hottest guy I had ever seen!

Sarcophagus by Anthony Williams FREE on Kindle When Jeremy moved into his new house he left his friends, school, and old life behind.

Consuming because of the unnatural passion (obsession) she had for writing 'stories'. Troublesome for the mother who descended into the realm of the insane right before her eyes. Tricky when she found herself on her own, forced to carve out an existence by the skin of her teeth. Farris quickly discovers that consuming-troubling-tricky is nothing compared to the Chaos that ensues after a visit to her grandmother. Determined to go on with her life, Farris finds out the hard way that sometimes, Fate has other ideas. In the blink of an eye, her life gets turned upside down: a tornado rips through town, her loft catches fire, and an explosion decimates her workplace. A stranger, Emerson Ferrera, inserts himself into the violence, becoming guardian and protector. Farris begins to suspect her grandmother's warning of impending death might more serious than she thought. Tragedy and betrayal follow, throwing Farris into a tailspin. Will she be able to trust the stranger she's become close to, or will his deception tear them apart?

When Charlotte's best friend and co-worker, Charisse, drags her to a local mansion to interview as a "personal drink" to a local vampire, Charlotte isn't happy about it. Nor is she happy when she's selected by Alexander, the vampire who had actually refused her offer of a drink in her club only recently. Charlotte moves into Alexander's mansion and meets Nathan, his servant, who is obviously more than he appears to be at first glance. Is he more than human? Both Alexander and Nathan are handsome and she starts to learn more about their world than ever before. Nathan is clearly hiding something. His abilities are definitely not human and maybe that's part of his appeal. Charlotte meets more vampires and other people who exist in this twilight world. She learns more about herself, how she relates to others and the uncanny power she holds over the two males who co-habit the mansion with her. Intrigue, love, power plays, suspense, fear and seduction; all of these play out in various scenarios during Charlotte's "relationship" with her new guardian and his servant...but where will it lead to in the end? Only time will tell.

REVIEW: OFFSPRING BY JACK KETCHUM

OFFSPRING
JACK KETCHUM
(SEQUEL TO OFF SEASON)
GENRE: HORROR

SYNOPSIS:

 The local sheriff of Dead River, Maine, thought he had killed them off ten years ago—a primitive, cave-dwelling tribe of cannibalistic savages. But somehow the clan survived. To breed. To hunt. To kill and eat. And now the peaceful residents of this isolated town are fighting for their lives.

________________________________________________

MY TAKE

4 STARS

Offspring is the sequel to Ketchum's (gorfest) Off Season. The Woman is back, and she's got a whole new cannibal family. The beginning of the story starts with the cannibal clan taking out a 16 year old babysitter, the 18 month old baby, and the mother returning from a night out at the bar. Yeah, it's craziness all over again. Except this time, the cops know exactly what they are dealing with.

Even with that being the opening to the story, this book is still much tamer, in my opinion, than Off Season. I think this book is generally more about the characters (potential victims) than the gore factor this time around. Offspring was a quick and easy read. I think I finished it in a day and a half.

REVIEW: THE GIRL NEXT DOOR BY JACK KETCHUM

THE GIRL NEXT DOOR

JACK KETCHUM

GENRE: HORROR

SYNOPSIS: Suburbia. Shady, tree-lined streets, well-tended lawns and cozy homes. A nice, quiet place to grow up. Unless you are teenage Meg or her crippled sister, Susan. On a dead-end street, in the dark, damp basement of the Chandler house, Meg and Susan are left captive to the savage whims and rages of a distant aunt who is rapidly descending into madness. It is a madness that infects all three of her sons--and finally the entire neighborhood. Only one troubled boy stands hesitantly between Meg and Susan and their cruel, torturous deaths. A boy with a very adult decision to make...

MY TAKE

5 STARS

I honestly didn't know if this review was ever going to happen. Why? Because I didn't know if I had the cajones to make it through this book. However, I'm proud to say I made it (barely).

If you know anything about Jack Ketchum, you know that his stories are not necessarily scary, but very disturbing and uncomfortable. The Girl Next Door is probably his most disturbing, horrific, stomach-churning, in-your-face-story to date.

You've read the synopsis above, so you kinda have a gist of what the story is about. What you don't get from the synopsis is the depth of abuse and torture these two girls (Meg, 14 & Susan, 9) endure. It's just unimaginable. What is even worse is this story is loosely based on actual events (if you are curious, google the name Sylvia Likens). I'm not going to even begin to go into any kind of detail about the abuse...it's really that terrible. There were certain points in the story I had to put down the book because it affected so much I had to have a moment to shed some tears.

You are probably wondering why on Earth I would give a book like this 5 stars. Well, it's a tricky thing. The Girl Next Door is hard to rate and review because of the subject matter. The way Ketchum wrote this story, he put me, as the reader, on the front lines of what was happening. This story is told from the POV of David, the next door neighbor and he seen first hand what happened to these girls. The way the story reads, it's like I was David. I was seeing all of this, and I felt helpless. Ketchum PUT ME THERE. I wanted to yell and scream at the characters in the story, I wanted to hurt the abusers--wanted them DEAD, just so these little girls could get away. Honestly, I have never been so involved in a story. I've never felt such strong (at times unbearable) emotions reading a story before. After the last page, I was drained.

Would I recommend this book? Only if you think you can handle it.

I am leaping, I am in the air reaching for her, and I will not be fast enough."

REVIEW: HORNS BY JOE HILL

REVIEW: HORNS

HORNS
JOE HILL
GENRE: HORROR


SYNOPSIS:
Merrin Williams is dead, slaughtered under inexplicable circumstances, leaving her beloved boyfriend Ignatius Perrish as the only suspect. On the first anniversary of Merrin's murder, Ig spends the night drunk and doing awful things. When he wakes the next morning he has a thunderous hangover . . . and horns growing from his temples. Ig possesses a terrible new power to go with his terrible new look—a macabre gift he intends to use to find the monster who killed his lover. Being good and praying for the best got him nowhere. Now it's time for revenge . . .

It's time the devil had his due. . . . 
 ___________________________________________________________

MY TAKE

5 STARS!

Although he's only got a few books under his belt, Joe Hill is quickly on his way to becoming one of my favorite authors.

Horns grabbed my attention from the very start, and kept my attention until the last page. This book tells the story of Ig Perrish who is an overall really good guy, but is slowly turning into the devil due to certain circumstances.

There are plenty of highs and lows within Horns that will have your emotions reeling. In some parts I laughed, some parts I was anxious, some made me angry, and some made me sad. This book is a emotional roller coaster that I really enjoyed riding.

Horns was so well written and executed, it will be going on my favorites shelf with the others books that I love to re-read. I absolutely recommend this book--you won't be disappointed!

Product Description:

Of all the beings that have lived on Earth, what if just a few had the power to make new realities, according to their desires? What would they create? The Second Emanation. A shadow world where ancient creatures persist, where humanity's dominance is far less certain, where wonder competes with horror. A world like an autumn forest, its realities as multiple and layered as fallen leaves. The world that gives us our gods.
In Nolander, the Second Emanation crosses paths with a seemingly ordinary young woman from the American Midwest. It'll never be the same again.
Amateur photographer Beth Ryder sees plenty wrong with her life. At twenty-three, she feels trapped in her small Wisconsin town. The guy she's been seeing lately wants nothing more to do with her, and her sister-in-law is doing her best to push Beth out of the family.
Then one day, Beth takes a picture no one can explain. Her quest for answers leads her far from her small-town roots and opens her eyes to the unseen world around her. Sucked into a dangerous organization responsible for policing visitors from Earth's shadow world, Beth discovers that humanity is far from alone, and that its fellow creatures, many endowed with disturbing abilities, do not wish it well.

As events spin out of her control, Beth must leave her restrictive but safe life behind. Thrown into a frightening new world, she struggles not to surrender more than she can bear to lose, and not to become something she can't bear to be.

At 99,000 words, Nolander is a full-length novel, the first in Mills's Emanations fantasy series.

Product Description:

Tyr and Loki are not your teenage sister's vampires.

They live for pleasure. They feel no remorse. They view human beings as livestock and sex objects. And after a thousand years seducing and murdering the prettiest girls in the room, they have become two of the most diabolical serial killers of all time.

But following a violent feud that separates the brothers for over a decade, Tyr hides himself away in a house on the outskirts of Las Vegas where he falls in love with a terminally ill young woman named Eva, an act deemed punishable by death by the fabled vampire council known as The Chosen.
