4 stars! This book humanized one of the most tragic events that can happen to a woman in her life. They didn‘t demonize her and they didn‘t bad mouth her. For that, I give this book so much credit to how real these people felt after awhile. They also gave the real monster in the book a justified end. Not my cup of tea still, but I would gladly read this over Haunting Adeline. I can actually see myself happily reading the second book. Recommend.

This was a bittersweet read, I really felt for Victoria. My heart crushed for her at several parts of book. It‘s a beautiful story of life, death, and loss of childhood innocence. Lots of hate worthy characters too. But lots of good characters. I‘m still trying to figure out how I feel about Victoria‘s parent though. I slightly recommend giving this book a chance. Plus, Joe Hill is up there with his father. (I loved the Easter Eggs he put in this)

4 stars. I was hooked and I enjoyed the nightmarish images it gave. Plot made me feel so much for a character and my heart still breaks for Luke. I even shed a few tears. Good book. Now if only my therapy cat didn‘t get emotionally scarred by my emotional roller coaster with this book. Guess it‘s time to get him a therapy cat.

I adored reading this book, it was a great palette cleanse from Patient Zero. The characters are likable and even if it‘s a fast read, it put in a lot action pack moments and romantic moments. I‘m excited to read the sequel! I highly recommend this book for the heart warming moments and the funny moments.

This book infuriated me. Even Haunting Adaline infuriated me less than this book did. Oh my god the main character Joe Ledger. Smartest man and the most wiseass couldn‘t figure out the simple hand fed clue when it was in his face three times. Oh and don‘t get me started on the villain Gault. I hated this book with a passion and I‘m still fuming over just how incompetent the hero and the villain are.

Patrick Bateman has it all. He is rich, he‘s good looking, he‘s smart. He has women and the ability to hold an identity that can be mistaken for human. How could someone as successful and influential as Bateman, end up being as detestable as he is. Well, you see. It‘s not really his fault. He is just a self proclaimed entity after all. Bright side: I at least never have to read this book again. Unlucky side: I can‘t unread it.

This book is recommended if you just like good fun dumb in a book. The only complaint I would have is how he had me almost disliking one of the main characters. I enjoyed the amount of villains in his book and just had fun checking out and just enjoying the ride it gave.

If you like horror movies and the Final Girls trope, along with some twist. You‘ll love this book! I found myself enjoying the characters and actually rooting for them bunch. Some times the Main Final Girl (Lynnette) can be insufferable but for the most part I enjoyed the ride of seeing her handle situations that only a Final Girl could.

Finally got myself into the Hannibal series. I enjoyed this book a lot. The characters were interesting enough and I just found myself enjoying the story so much. Highly recommend if you like True Crime and Hannibal. Also as a side note. If you read Hannibal‘s lines, read it in Mads Mikkelsen‘s voice. 10x better to read it with his accent.

Haunting Adeline | H. D. Carlton

I had really high hopes for this book to be somewhat interesting with all the warnings attached to it. I was disappointed when I found myself only enjoying a few chapters. Main woman is just. I guess I would compare her to Murphy‘s law but she‘s so much worse than that. “The Shadow” he‘s and I will stand by this just every edgy anime hero/antihero troupe. I would say read it if you just want cringe. Regardless, I am going to read the second book.

Tender Is the Flesh | Agustina Bazterrica

If this review comes up twice, I apologize. But this was an okay book. I thought it would be perfect for me after hearing people discussing it. It‘s the first book I almost bailed on, but only because of the small fact that the book does something repetitive very often. Other than that. It‘s a ride of a book that I can say at least read it once just to see the hype. I kinda did enjoy the book but it was a strong half and half.

So, this book. It‘s a very interesting book. I give 3 stars, only because while the story was interesting and I did find myself enjoying most of it. It kind of dragged at times, I also just wish some of the characters weren‘t added in just for semi important dialogue. Over all the scenes were gruesome and the story was for sure a story. I would recommend reading only if you have a strong stomach to handle the nature of this book.

I have to say, I went in not knowing anything about what this book held. I was only told bits and pieces here and there. But finally after 28 years of hearing about it I found it one lovely day at Barnes & Noble. I was hooked, the story is deep and really paints a picture of loss, grieving, betrayal, abandonment. I would recommend it if you have always wanted to read it. But be warned. You will have a blizzard of emotions going through.

So i‘m new to posting books and making reviews, but it‘s 2020 so I figured i‘d give it a try! So the book i‘m most excited for is, Red Dragon. I‘ve always saved myself from watching Hannibal movies until I was able to read the books in order. I‘m sorry if the books are cut off please do forgive me for the noob start. But yeah this is my first January haul. I should add that i‘m big into horror, so that‘s what most of my picks are. Meow~
