I read three thrillers about people getting murdered in remote areas — while attending a wedding in the literal woods

The Last Time I Lied by Riley Sager

A Dark Lure (Dark Lure #1) by Loreth Anne White

The Dark Bones (Dark Lure #2) by Loreth Anne White

September 23, 2019 by badkittyuno Leave a Comment

Luckily, the woods I stayed in were friendly, not murder-y. Still, my scenery definitely lent some atmosphere to my reading. A Dark Lure (Dark Lure #1) by Loreth Anne White Scenery and atmosphere definitely make this book. It takes place in a remote part of Canada — where everything is covered in snow, people protect their own, and no one can hear you if you cry for help. It is out of this environment that Sarah Lake stumbled 12 years ago, after spending an entire […]

And by hitting publish, I will be 100% caught up on reviews! (4 stars) Josh and Hazel’s Guide to Not Dating by Christina Lauren I am on a Christina Lauren kick. After loving The Unhoneymooners, a friend recommended Josh and Hazel’s Guide to Not Dating — and about half a dozen other books by the writing duo. So far, I have not been disappointed! “I learned a very important thing that day: my mom would never try to change for a man, and I wouldn’t, either.” […]

If you watch horror or slasher movies, you know that the Final Girl is the one who manages to survive against the odds while all of her friends die horrific deaths.  Quincy became one after all of her friends were slaughtered on what should’ve been a fun break from college at a mountain house in the Poconos.  Ten years later, Quincy has stayed out of the public eye, fallen in love and achieved success as a baker.  The almost […]

There’s a formula to it. A very simple formula! EVERYBODY’S A SUSPECT!

March 10, 2018 by baxlala 3 Comments

I have a confession to make. Though I don’t know if confession is the right word. Confession hints at something one has been hiding for fear of punishment. Or SHAME. And this is nothing to be ashamed of. When I was younger, I read 100 million RL Stine books. I started with Goosebumps and then quickly moved on to Fear Street. I then graduated to Christopher Pike, and started dabbling in Stephen King at WAY WAY too young of an age. I loved RL Stine […]
