I was excited to dive into C.J. Cooke’s newest novel, The Ghost Woods, and I was not disappointed. This dark, gothic horror fantasy takes us to Lichen Hall. A place shrouded in folklore about ghosts & witches. This remote home stands alone deep in the woods. Pearl Gorham arrives in 1965, to give birth to a child and the tale that unfolds held me captive.
I had the privilege of reading along as I listened to The Staircase in the Woods by Chuck Wendig, narrated by Jay Myers, Amber Benson, and Xe Sands. Never ever climb a staircase you find in the woods. Seriously. Don’t do it! Don’t believe me? Grab the book or audiobook and travel with four friends as they climb those stairs in search of their lost friend.
I am always up for a good locked-room mystery thriller and devoured You Are Fatally Invited by Ande Pliego. You are cordially invited to the island of the coast of Maine by renowned anonymous author J. R. Alasto for a writer’s retreat. Come along with six authors, all successful in their own rights at crafting murder, mischief and mayhem. A word of caution not all of you will make it off the island.
Are you looking for a twisty, psychological thriller that will keep you guessing? Then you are going to want to read The Business Trip by author Jessica Garcia. Two strangers meet on a plane, text their friends and then go missing in this twisty debut.
Guillotine by Delilah S. Dawson delivered a suspenseful, atmospheric horror story narrated by Elisabeth Ashby. Some connections are deadly in this dark tale set on a remote island. Grab your earbuds, lock your doors, and turn up the light for this creeptastic thriller.
A House in Shadow by Erica Damon proved to be a twisty thriller with supernatural elements that hooked me. I recommend going in cold and sticking with it, even when you want to hurl your Kindle across the room. I will keep my review short and spoiler free.
