Getting more than goosebumps

You're Invited to a Creepover V01 Truth or Dare by P.J. Night

You're Invited to a Creepover V02 You Can't Come in Here! by P.J. Night

by Leave a Comment

I never read Goosebumps as a kid, but did read R. L. Stine’s Fear Street, and other authors like that. Funny thing was, I never liked horror. Mystery yes, and if it was a thriller I was okay, but not full out horror. The other funny thing was, I probably was reading horror as there were vampires, witches, ghosts, and occasionally the oddness of the supernatural. As an adult I realized there are levels of thriller/horror, and P. J. Nighty has done just that. Along […]

Cale Atkinson in reviews

Simon and Chester V01 Super Detectives by Cale Atkinson

Rock Stars Don’t Nap by Jason Perkins

by Leave a Comment

A while back, I found a Simon and Chester book. I don’t remember what number in the series it was, but I just found volume one, Simon and Chester V01 Super Detectives. And they started as cute as they were in that first book I read. Now, I am not saying BEST BOOKS EVER, but Cale Atkinson does a cute story that has a not-so-spooky take on things. And this time the detective mystery story is tackled. Even though Simon and Cheseter  are a living […]

The Golden Eyed girl

Island Book (Island Book #1) by Evan Dahm

The Infinite Land (Island Book #2)  by Evan Dahm

by Leave a Comment

A little while ago  I reviewed book three of Island Book not realizing I had read book three until I was into it a bit. Of course, I said, well since there are holes in the plot I need to find one and two. And I did. And some things were cleared up and other things added. The big thing I noticed was that there is a lot of foreshadowing that you might not pick up if you are reading in order. The thing I […]

Raise the spirits

Fitz and Cleo Put a Party by Jonathan Stutzman

by Leave a Comment

I am usually not a huge Fitz and Cleo fan, though I do enjoy them. And even though Cleo can have a lot of “muchness” to her, they are sweet characters that are familiar and cozy. However, even though Cleo is still unapologetically herself (a bit naughty, mischievous, and a smidgen bossy), this book, Fitz and Cleo Put a Party on It was terribly pleasantly sweet and the perfect amount of silly. It is probably my favorite out of the books I have read of this brother and sister […]

Getting your fright on

 Frights from Feral  V02 Last Exit to Feral by Mark Fearing

by Leave a Comment

This  time around, the style is vamped with the chapters having a postcard (mostly, of course, of the creepy variety or at least sinister seeming) starting things off. And this is not the only thing that is different with Frights from Feral  V02 Last Exit to Feral by Mark Fearing.   This time we follow Freya and her friend Monica (the person who runs into Frey’s office (the basement of an old house no longer standing) at the end of book one, as they learn an important clue to the […]

Frights from Feral V01 Welcome to Feral by Mark Fearing

by Leave a Comment

Mark Fearing (if that is their real name and not their ghost writer name) must have been one strange child and now a stranger adult. A child that was haunted by the best of the best hauntings, ghosts and ghouls whom they made friends with and shared with us now. They introduce us to those friends in their series about the town of Feral. Freya is our detective of the odd things in this town called Feral. They know the truth (or so they think) […]
