Indecisions & Fan Fiction
Vampire Diaries meets Twilight in Britney S. Lewis’s Blood Moon — an ode to the unfairly treated Bonnie Bennett. If you’re looking for dark academia, a smart-witted main female character, and a yearning love triangle then look no further! Spend the weekend learning the folklore behind Timber Plains and Lakeland University!

Red Snow & Headless Bodies
Darcy Coates’s Dead of Winter was the perfect winter slasher! The story followed a group of hikers after a storm left them stranded in a nearby cabin. Things take a deadly turn after they find their tour guide brutally slain and decapitated the next morning. I ate this book up!

Drunk Driving & Consequences
Lois Duncan’s I Know What You Did Last Summer in preparation for watching the reboot with my sibling. Honestly? I was disappointed; however, I attribute this to having watched the film first. While I can appreciate a good psychological thriller, I am human, so this was a meh for me.

Witch Masks & Gory Summers
Two Sides To Every Murder was a five-star read for me, and I will never stop recommending it along with How To Survive Your Murder! I loved the vibe, the characters, the twists and turns, and loved the ending! The epilogue closed up loose ends while opening the door to a sequel. Such a divine…

Dead Girls & Pretty Liars
After watching a good part of the Pretty Little Liars television series, I wanted to give the book series a try. Honestly, I was disappointed. I thought they dramatized the story for TV, but nope, it was equally as dramatic.

A Summer Rental & A Bloody Revenge
Summer Rental was a summertime slasher set in Palm Key, Florida, where six teens go out to the beach for one last hoorah. A hurricane had other plans for their weekend, and they became trapped inside with a stalker lurking around.

Mystery Parties & Curious Enthrallment
I read Kill Joy with my friend after we had already finished the series (whoops lol), and all I can say is the only reason I put it down was that it sparked ideas for my own for a murder mystery party! I loved the game’s storyline of a 1920s murder mystery.

Serial Killers & Vigilantes
Holly Jackson’s As Good As Dead was a WILD ride. The plot took a turn I NEVER saw coming! Trust me when I say only Holly had the map during this journey. I was just along for the ride screaming. This book left me reeling, spiraling, and bereft. 5/5 recommend.

Blood & Karma
Perfect Little Monsters is an ode to every bully victim who just wants to snap. Perfect amount of build-up, gore, and just the right amount of monsters.

Grief & Undue Blame
The ROLLERCOASTER of emotions that As Good As Dead gave me, had me on edge the entire time. The ending had me sobbing! My heart broke for some of the characters’ ending. Definitely had to take a few days to emotionally recover, if I’m being honest as well as dramatic.
