Mean-ager vs. Employees
Honestly, I was disappointed. I loved the concept of the plot but felt that the potential it had was completely ignored. We know who the killer is right off the bat, which I’m not a fan of. It doesn’t leave much room for suspense so that banked on their escape.

Love Notes & Bleeding Hearts
You Will Be Mine was a four-star one for me! It was fast-paced, engaging, gory, and filled with suspense. I felt the main characters could’ve taken better precautions when it came to protecting themselves, but hey, how else would we have a story? 4/5 would recommend to a slasher lover.

Ashes & Demons
The Lake House was an okay read. Something to listen to as I did chores and during my commute. This novel wasn’t a true slasher. I’d say it’s more of a paranormal/psychological thriller. Two-thirds of the novel was the characters moving around the island and while fending off the wilderness.

Slow Beginnings & Twisted Endings
The first two-thirds of Final Girls was so slow. I thought this would be more of a slasher, but I was wrong. The story behind Pine Cottage didn’t pick up until the last 100 pages. I was so unsatisfied with this ending, even though all the loose ends were closed.

Tentacles & No Thanks
Honeysuckles by January Rayne wasn’t my cup of tea. I wasn’t crazy about the plot/creature, but from a writing perspective, it was well written. The spice was good (until the author reminded us that his dick was purple and red with suckers. Send help. This image won’t leave my brain.)

Read the Novel, Watch the Film
After reading the novel first, I decided to watch the movie. Honestly, I loved Netflix’s version; the motive, the killer, and some of the characters changed, and with those changes, Netflix satiated all the things I felt the book was lacking or missed an opportunity.

Cornfields & Blood
I found Someone’s Inside Your House entertaining. This was an audiobook listen, and I was definitely at the end of my seat in the office, hoping no one would interrupt me with a task. Haha. The anticipation was real. The author was great at building up anticipation and gory imagery.

Secrets & Screams
I enjoyed the plot of The Mary Shelley Club. I did find it a bit lengthy. There was a lot of character development and such, but no action until the last hundred pages. The plot twist was amazing. Moldavsky left the ending open-ended. I’m definitely hoping she writes a sequel.

Dark Fantasies & Masked Men
Since this was only a 122-page book, Scream For Us didn’t have a tremendous amount of character development. We get a little more background on Quinn and her past, mainly because we’re in her head, but almost nothing about the guys. The plot was pretty much straight smut. 5/5 recommend.

Shadows & Lilies
Death’s Obsession followed Lilith, a young woman who recently had a close encounter with death when she was in a massive car accident that took the life of her twin sister, Dahlia. After swearing she saw Death at the accident, she began seeing a figure she called “the faceless man.”
