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

Whew, this book had it all. Horror, blue mutants, time traveling, radiation, drug dealers, and one random alien all in the middle of the Bermuda TrianWhew, this book had it all. 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

Its mission is to destroy the earth and all living creatures to start anew. Abraham aka Science Guy survives the machine's birth from the ice to engage in a battle of survival.
The first half of the book was great. The second half, not so much for me. Predictable ending. Middle of the road for apocalypse....more

Getting on my bulletproof vest for this unpopular opinion.....
I saw all the great reviews and thought this was going to be a good one. While yes, the Getting on my bulletproof vest for this unpopular opinion.....
I saw all the great reviews and thought this was going to be a good one. While yes, the writer created one heck of a spooky atmosphere, that is about all I could cheer about. I absolutely abhorred the main character. Her only goal it seemed in life was making sure her husband was happy, whether she was or not. It was all about him. She was a dollar tree doormat. The husband was an arrogant ass. Just no, nope, not today. Who lets their housekeeper degrade them and pull all kinds of shenanigans without being called on it at least? We kept being told how much money this dude had, so we're just going to let the maid run amok. Finally, after getting through all, the twists are just dumped on your lap. Like here you go, have a good day.
I settled on 3 stars because I did enjoy the mystery elements. ...more

I have to stop reading books with a point of view told by a teenager. I find myself rolling my eyes so hard I expect them to roll out of my head. Yes, I know that most teenagers decision-making is trash, but it still gets on my nerves. I love the premise of the book. However, I didn't like any of the characters. You would think, being a mostly female dominated society, women would have managed to grow backbones. I expected characters with some strength, and I was disappointed. Overall, it is a good read....more

Three days laHerold's disease sweeps the globe, killing all children that have not hit puberty. The world mourns as experts scramble to find out why. Three days later mass graves are being filled, the children miraculously resurrect. Millions of children are suddenly "awake". No vital signs, smell of decay, skin gray, these children are shells of what they used to be. Only one thing brings them back to their former selves: blood. The blood lasts for only so long until more blood is needed to keep the children awake.
One fabulous bloody book. I love the different take on an apocalypse event using children as our downfall. Parents will fight to the end to make sure their child survives, even if that child is not really their child anymore. Recommend!...more

So needlessI love historical fiction, but I usually stay away from this time period. I end up crying all the way through it and mad at the ignorance. So needless to say, yes, I cried over these pages. A mother's love is endless. It will go through the depths of hell to provide safety for our children. For even a sliver of hope for it. Pheby did what she had to survive. To make sure her children survived. I can't wrap my mind around on how it would be in her position. I wouldn't disrespect her by pretending too. Excellent read....more
Sometime in the distant future, men lose their minds and decide to Handmaid Tale us women with a twist. We are reduced to 100 speaking words a day. ToSometime in the distant future, men lose their minds and decide to Handmaid Tale us women with a twist. We are reduced to 100 speaking words a day. To make sure of this, all women are forced to wear bracelets aka shock collars. No reading, writing, sign language, smoke signals, carrier pigeons. Overlooking the fact, I would be dead on Day 1 of this madness due to electrical pulses from the bracelets, I would love to know how you would teach a three-month-old child to not speak. I mean, picture sitting at the dinner table with your 2-year-old, who is babbling away then suddenly launched across the room from the "shock" of reaching 100 words. I guess it would make for a lively Thanksgiving. Thoroughly enjoyed the book. Recommend!
Whew, when you talk about generational curses, this was not what anybody had in mind.

In this horror read, two families are entwined in a 200-year-old curse/pact. Why these people kept producing children knowing the outcome is beyond me, but here we are 200 years later. Poor David gets the crap end of the stick, being clueless all the way to the end. A wonderful horror story with likeable characters. Well, except the fathers. They sucked. Recommend!...more
