I've read Carly's work before so I knew to expect an exciting and creepy story but the heartfelt aspect of it took me by surprise. This was a really good story.

LOVERS: A Short Story (In The Cards)

Tayler Vaughn

Tayler never fails to make me audibly gasp out loud! The way she sucks you in and makes you feel bonded to her characters, even in short stories, is so skillful that I almost want to hate her for it. But alas, she remains once again one of my favourite authors! This is one you definitely don't want to miss.

This novella is about a group of friends and their dynamics and about being in the wrong place at the wrong time. I found the beginning to be a bit slow but it was all character development that was needed to set up the “event”. The characters were interesting and their relationships were wild. It was nerve-wracking reading the beginning, just knowing something awful was about to happen and it amped up my anxiety and kept me on edge throughout the book. I really enjoyed the main character Brooke and felt like I could relate to her. The ending left me with unanswered questions though and I felt like it needed more explanation. Overall I enjoyed this book and it was an entertaining and exciting read that I would recommend to others!

BEFORE THE LIGHTS GO OUT

Jafe Danbury

Reagan and her daughter Steffie are left home alone while her husband Fynn is away in Germany on business. When Reagan receives devastating news about the health of her eyes and the hereditary condition that she is passing on to her daughter Steffie, she is lost. Add to that the unreturned calls and texts from her husband and her growing suspicion that he is up to something. And so she books a surprise trip for Steffie and her to Germany and the story amps up from there. The descriptions of Germany are fantastic and I felt like I was there. The love that Reagan has for her daughter and her need to protect her shone through the pages and warmed my heart. There were twists and rising tension and lots of drama and I loved every minute of it! I enjoyed the character development and I enjoyed reading as Reagan put the pieces together as to what really happened to her parents. The pages flew by and I couldn’t stop reading as I just had to know how this one would end. This was yet another fantastic book by the very talented Jafe Danbury! I have now read every one of his books and I’m a huge fan! Thanks so much for an advanced reader copy!

Cat's Got Your Tongue

Anthony Bolton

Mitchell is raising his niece Emily while his brother Mike “Cat” is in prison. But when Mike is finally released, murdered bodies start to pile up and all evidence points once again to Mike. Mitchell tries to protect Emily as more and more people are dragged into the apparent quest for vengeance. The storyline was engaging and strong and kept me turning the pages and I enjoyed the characters. This was a new author for me and I was fully submersed in his writing. I enjoyed all the twists and misdirection and I didn’t predict the ending!
