**3.5 Stars** I wish this would have been longer. It felt rushed to reach the end. Nice little horror read....more
I am still scratching my head. By the time I finished this book, I didn't even know if I was real. One thing is for sure, I am glad none of my old AOLI am still scratching my head. By the time I finished this book, I didn't even know if I was real. One thing is for sure, I am glad none of my old AOL chat room "friends" stalked me down. That would have been very awkward all the way around. The only complaint I had was the confusion on how things were happening that shouldn't be happening. It was like the rules changed mid-plot. Overall, a good read....more

A book has toFor a hot minute, I thought I was stuck reading a book about fishing. That is no good for someone with the attention span of a squirrel. A book has to grab me fast to make me hang in there. So I struggled for a few chapters because it was all about fishing. I mean, it is The Fisherman. Is a giant fish going to jump out of the river and eat people? Zombie fishes? Then the story unfolded and off we went all the way to the end, holding my breath. It makes the question of what would you do if you could get your loved back from the dead? Could you sacrifice your life? Become something not human? Would it be worth it?
Excellent plot (besides the fishing) heart pounding moments. However, not one zombie fish! Highly recommend....more

I will admit, Pike messed with my head when the first twists started being thrown at me. I thought I was misreading what was happening, or maybe I should not drink wine before reading anymore. This is a unique horror read. I enjoyed it immensely!...more

I am glad one of my Goodreads friends convinced me to pick this one back up. It started as a slow burn and had talking animals for cripe’s sake. Kind I am glad one of my Goodreads friends convinced me to pick this one back up. It started as a slow burn and had talking animals for cripe’s sake. Kind of hard to be afraid of a Frog that uses Gordon Ramsey as a mentor. However, once it started, it hit harder than Bing the Bear's war hammer. Who knew fictional real characters could be murderous. It sort of makes you wonder, if you ever did find yourself in the Hundred Acre Woods with Winnie the Pooh, would he try to eat you? Instead of his thirst for that jar of honey, it is full of his last victim's blood. How's that for childhood nightmare fuel. I loved the imagery this book provided. It was beautiful and went well with the heart pounding moments around every corner. Highly recommend....more
Rabbits is a secret underground game. You probably never heard of it except in whispers or on the dark web. No one knows who runs The Door Is Open
Rabbits is a secret underground game. You probably never heard of it except in whispers or on the dark web. No one knows who runs the game. In fact, you don't even know you're a player. All you have to do is see or hear the phrase "The Door is Open" to know a new game has begun. If you can find the patterns, uncover the clues, and can open your mind, the game might pick you. Dangers are everywhere. You might lose your life. However, the winner gets his/her heart's desire.
The last two games, something has been amiss. Now entering the 11th round since its conception, players are going missing. Bodies are being found murdered. The lines of reality are being blurred. K has to win the game before our world comes to an end. Or maybe it all is a figment of K's imagination.

South China Sea, the steam frigate HMS Charger pursues a fleet of pirates that have been terrorizing the waters surrounding Hong Kong. In their hull are crates of opium, which are transferred as spoils of war. Suddenly a dark mass appears way above the stars. It looks like a comet, but maybe a dark star. Days later, the crew are experiencing hallucinations and calling them to come to an island for all their dreams to come true. Murders and mutiny on the high sea, with a boatload of horror to keep the pages turning. This was one hell of a good book. Recommend!...more

What if you killed your husband, kids, friends, and that nosy neighbor believing they were the undead trying to eat you? You find other "survivors" to team up with. Now, what if I told you that was all a lie. There is a new disease that could trigger your brain to think the zombie apocalypse was upon us. That you actually did kill your loved ones, not the undead. What would you do when faced with that knowledge? I really enjoyed this interesting take on an old genre. Recommend!...more

They find a hidden map leading to waterfalls and a small town on a hiking trail in the woods behind the cabin. Along the way, a bushy bearded stranger attempts to hold them at gun point. The couples race to the small town for help, only to find it abandoned. They can't leave the town because a strange fog and shadow creature is blocking all exits. There we are subjected to weird death loops, ghosts running around town, and some mystery Narnia tree with a door. Which there is never an explanation for. Nope, not one hint. The ending left me just as clueless as what was behind the Narnia tree door....more

Horror, blue mutants, time traveling, radiation, drug dealers, and one random alien all in the middle of the Bermuda Triangle. It didn't take long to suck me right on in because I needed to know what was happening to these people. A few edge of the seats moments to keep your heart pounding. I would have loved a better ending. Was hoping for a Dave Jones Locker moment, but alas no. Recommend!...more
If you ever wanted to know what Disney World would be like if it was built off black magic and Walt was into the occult, this is the book for you. FivIf you ever wanted to know what Disney World would be like if it was built off black magic and Walt was into the occult, this is the book for you. Five friends load up their car to head off to Turtleshell Mountain, the "Happiest Place on Earth". Only today, the cute characters have turned into killers and rides are deadly. The upside, there are no long waits in line. I can't think of a worse fate than to murdered by Felix the Fox. This was an outstanding book from start to finish. The characters are well written and relatable. Highly recommend!...more
