From Creepy Indoor Waterparks to Paranormal Activity-Plagued Cracker Barrels

Nightmare of A Trip by Maureen Kilmer

April 1, 2024 by Pooja 3 Comments

When the Somerset family heads out on a road trip from Wisconsin to Florida, mom Leigh expects plenty of bumps along the way – but even she doesn’t expect to be haunted by ghosts after a strange incident at an abandoned house. My family has always been big on road trips, and consequently I have spent days driving down endless roads in both the United States and India.

Suburban Hell by Maureen Kilmer

But it took me several days to finish this one. It just moved so freaking slow. And I just didn’t care about any of the characters. I kept hoping that something would happen, but nothing really does except for a scene about some baby rabbits. I just thought the whole book dragged and was hoping […]

    I was also disappointed by the Sunbearer sequel. This was a better sequel.
