TThirty years ago, a Vietnam vet nicknamed Agent Orange went on a murderous rampage in the town of Morgan. The military had to intercede to kill him. The problem is he didn't stay dead. No matter how many times he is killed, Agent Orange reappears for more blood and bodies. Finally, the government walled off Morgan and the surrounding towns to keep him inside. However, how do you keep a killer inside the walls when he has no fresh victims? Apparently the solution is to kidnap Americans and toss them inside against their will. Eleven people go to sleep and wake up in the kill zone. There is no time to think, only time to run.
I loved this book. It was like what would happen if Jason was real and loose in the world, but without the awkward teenage sex scenes. Agent Orange is a homegrown nightmare. Recommend for horror readers that don't mind body parts flying and heads on stakes for lawn decorations....more

TheFive random strangers receive a text message on their phone. Someone they love has been taken, and their life depends on if they can win The Game. The rules are simple: You can't tell no one and must follow the instructions given. There can only be one winner. If you lose your loved one dies. The timer starts NOW.
This was a wild ride. Soon as I think I have it all figured out, the book goes off in a different direction. I love books like that. Makes it harder for me, and I can enjoy an amazing reveal. Recommend!...more

**3.5 Stars**
The game is simple. Spend a week in an abandoned amusement park playing the ultimate game of hide and go seek without being caught. The prize is enough money to change your life. Fourteen contestants are locked behind massive gates with one goal in mind....make it to sundown. Mack has been hiding her whole life. She knows she can win. However, the game is rigged. There is no winner in this game. Only screams from the hunted as the hunter finds them two by two.
There was no need for romance in this book. I mean, they are being picked off one by one. Not exactly the atmosphere for budding love. I wish horror writers would stop this nonsense. It is not believable....more

In life, in love, in anything. In a world where magicians can manipulate shadows, thieves are highly sought after for stealing magical books and works. Charlie used to be one of them until she was almost killed. Now she is bartending in a local dive bar, trying to live a reformed life. Until walking home late one night, she witnesses a murder which drags her back into the world full of dangerous shadows. I liked this book because it is different from the usual magic reads. The use of one's own shadow is unique. Recommend reading in the dark with no lights. Definitely not in the sun....more

There's a bloody prayer log with animal sacrifices, though, so take that as you will. We are following a bunch of people that seem random, however they end up all connected by the end. Some are easy, like the cop that unknowingly has a serial killer sister and brother-in-law. In others, you never see the connection until the very end and have to do a double take. A great horror read! Recommend!...more

The last occupants ran out in the middle of the night with a rifle, jumped in their car and never returned. They left everything. Clothes, furniture, like I said, everything. Just like every occupant before them. The grass never grows. The garden is black. Animals and people give it wide berth. Now the house has a new renter named Anna and I can feel the house coming alive again.
Great haunted house read. Just creepy enough to give you chills. Recommend!...more

Ivy finds out she is related to a serial killer, the Full Moon Killer, after doing a DNA genetic test. Being adopted, she has no idea who her biological family is. On the genetic site, she is connected to a cousin who invites her to meet the family. Ivy's mother was murdered by the FMK shortly after she placed Ivy up for adoption. Her father is unknown. Ivy is determined to discover who the serial killer is, even at the cost of her family.
There was so much going on. A serial killer, the weird sex cult, creepy half brothers, it was all over the place. How was she so sure the DNA was from her mother's side? It could have been the father's side. Anyway, a good thriller to fill the time.

UnfortunaNothing is worse than a demon possessed house with a thirst for revenge. The demon has been playing the long game to ensnare Father MacLeod. Unfortunately, three ex-nuns who are working with the Church to weed out fake possessions are caught in its clutches. Solid possession book, but I felt it was lacking. The ending was unfinished and left a reader hanging....more

This book was dark. The reveal and twist near the end will have you shook. Recommend....more

Mattie and William live on a mountain alone. William is an abusive twat that deserves to die several times over. Poor Mattie is a literal walking punching bag. One day she comes across a shredded dead fox when checking snares. She quickly realizes something else not human, not quite animal, has moved in on the mountain. Do you think William is grateful for this information? Of course not because Mattie is not supposed to have thoughts or ideas not sanctioned by his majesty. To make matters worse, outsiders are now looking for the creature. So, between black eyes and an intelligent being, Mattie has to find a way to survive.
It missed being 4 star because there is no explanation about the creature. You're just left hanging out there....more

Where the White Rabbits are hunted for sport in a nightmare landscape full of murderous creatures. Did I absolutely love this book? Yes I did. I want a book two, that is how much I loved it. The ending is fabulous, but leaves a lot unanswered. Hence, why I am calling for another book!...more

Just as creepy and terrifying. My tour of demons keeps on keeping for some reason. However, this book wanted to throw in dolls as well, which is my 2nd fear, right up there with clowns. Recommend!

My next step would be to find a hotel and never look back. I would hire movers or say the hell with it, whatever is breathing is welcome to my granny panties.
