I'm not usually into books about haunted houses but I thought I'd try this one. I really liked it. No subtle build up here, the ghosts are part of life right from the go. I wouldn't say it was scary, definitely some gore and violence. Parts were predictable, but the ending was satisfying. A fun read!

Loved this read that is perfect for the beginning of spooky season. A haunted Victorian house with ghosts that you will love and hate. Margaret believes she can follow the rules to survive. Past happenings resurface that entwine with Margaret‘s “haunted” life. 👻👻👻👻

This book! I don‘t know where to begin. This is certainly not your typical haunted house tale. And I really didn‘t expect to laugh hysterically at the end. That being said, this is not at all a funny book. It‘s horrifying and gory and bloody and mystifying. Unreliable narrator is an understatement and actually does the narrator a disservice. You‘ll have to read it to find out for yourself what is real and what is reality

#RIP begins in September and #SciFiSummer doesn't end until the 20th. I'm also moving towards the end of the month, so this month's #BookSpin list is a mix of Horror and Science Fiction ebooks from my TBR and library books I have checked out.

🌕🌕🌕🌑🌑 This book was highly recommended to me by a friend. It was a great light read, sweet and heartwarming, with a touch of tragedy and fear.

First read of 2025 done! This is horror about a woman determined to stay in her dream home that‘s haunted, even when her husband goes missing and her adult daughter unaware of the hauntings comes to visit. This started out strong, but petered off when the haunted house as a metaphor got really heavy handed, and it felt like the author was worried I wouldn‘t Get It. I think I wanted this to lean into the campier aspects more than it did. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

I had a lot of fun with the 2024 book bracket! Thank you to @catsandbooks for the template! 🎉 #bookbracket #2024bookbracket

WOW! This book! I don‘t know where to begin. This is certainly not your typical haunted house tale. And I really didn‘t expect to laugh hysterically at the end. That being said, this is not at all a funny book. It‘s horrifying and gory and bloody and mystifying. Unreliable narrator is an understatement and actually does the narrator a disservice. You‘ll have to read it to find out for yourself what is real and what is reality.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Yesterday I talked about my most disappointing reads of 2024 now let‘s talk about my favorite reads of the year. I was in a slump most of the year but I did read a few books that I really enjoyed. And apparently 2024 was the year of horror/thrillers.
