We Used to Live Here by Marcus Kliewer
5.0
Omg the creep factor in this one! Perfect for spooky season. I couldn't get enough of it, what's real? What's not? Who do you believe!?! The ending had me screaming like wtf you can't end there but also it was perfect.
I absolutely can see this as a movie. It has the same vibes as Get Out. This is perfect as a stand alone but I also need so many questions answered that I'm dying for a sequel.

Highly recommend the audiobook! It was so well done I was captivated immediately.
Had the feel of a modern day Lord of the Flies. A hurricane hit and the amusement park implemented their emergency protocols. Although there is plenty of water and food, the young people are faced with no direction, supervision or overall feelings of authority. Chaos ensued and this is the stories of the survivors. Each chapter is another interview painting a vivid picture of what happened in the park during the hurricane and the aftermath.

The Haunting of Maddy Clare by Simone St. James

I enjoyed this read. It was the pick for my October Read-A-Long, and it was the perfect mix of spooky and mystery for this month.
I went into it blind as I usually do and wish it had been more modern day time line, the 1920s of it is where it fell a bit short for me with some of the language but nonetheless I enjoyed this story.
Sarah is a badass. This is not what she signed up for! But at no point did she waiver, and she is the MVP of this story.

Not vibing with it and I was finding it confusing. I may give it another shot down the line.
Sinners Retreat by Lauren Biel
4.0
A retreat designed just for unalivers. The activities set up for them had me both grossed out and laughing. The idea of colored jumpsuits to represent crimes was brilliant. The bowling 🎳 the cooking class 👩🍳 I could get enough of this story, the spice was spicy and the banter was top notch. I read this one in 2 sittings and only because adulting got in the way. I can't wait to read the next one!

This is my favorite one of the series so far. That surprised me being Damon's story, but I liked Winter. There is a bit more drama and suspense in this one. There is also a lot more details into Damon's back story so check your triggers.
Lights Out by Navessa Allen

Loved it! I lived everything about this one. Josh is the most thoughtful stalker there ever was and Aly is the strong female main character we need.
I have literally zero complaints about this one. All the s's spicy sweet and sexy I loved it!

The September House by Carissa Orlando

Loved it! I personally have a hard time getting the tone right in Horror and I don't know why. This one I read more in a Ghostbusters vibe. That being said it didn't keep me from loving it. Margaret and Fredericka are the real MVPs and I want to have tea with them.
I loved the mystery of this one, the silliness of Fredricka and learning how much Margaret goes through to follow the rules. Perfect read for spooky season!

Corrupt by Penelope Douglas

I listened to this one on Audible. I accidentally listened to the second in this series prior to the first, that's on me and I won't hold the fact that I knew how it would turn out against this book. But after listening to 2 in this series this is what I know. I love the way she writes men but I hate the way she writes women. Rika is whiny and nieve to the point that it's unbelievable.
The spice is spicy and I often had to check my surroundings and wonder how much you could hear outside of my car 🤭 it's a good story I enjoyed it and maybe had I read it rather than listening to it I would have rated it higher but the narrators inflections while reading Rika made her sound like she was constantly whining. Maybe that was on purpose I don't know but I found it annoying

What Lies in Darkness by Christina McDonald

I am loving this series! This one is set up for the series to continue and that makes me so happy. So many points that had me thinking and twists to keep your second guessing what's important. I really enjoyed this story and Jess as a detective. I couldn't put this one down, I just needed to know who was involved and what actually happened.
