Are you ready for a new, philosophically haunting thriller? Well, buckle up, because this one takes you for a wild ride. Missy has spent years trying to mould herself into a real working actor. Someone who can become anyone and belongs in the spotlight. But so far, it’s been an endless loop of failed auditions. But when she is invited to audition for a lucrative commercial, it feels like a light at the end of the tunnel. But what will she sacrifice to reach her dreams? I was

I think I just found my favourite book of the year. Now, because I don't do spoilers, all I’ll tell you is this: Imagine driving down a dark, rain-soaked road in the middle of nowhere when a series of mysterious car accidents leaves a group of complete strangers stranded at a dive bar. Sounds safe, right? Not exactly... Dive Bar at the End of the Road by Kelley Armstrong was so dang good. I was honoured to receive an ARC from St. Martin’s Press in exchange for my honest revie

Imagine losing the love of your life, marrying a near stranger, moving completely off-grid… and then having a dead man show up at your door. My rating of Call Off the Dark: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5 My thoughts: Call Off the Dark by Hallie Shepherd is definitely a twisty genre-bender. I was lucky enough to receive the audiobook early from William Morrow and Harper Audio in exchange for my honest review, so thank you so much to them for letting me listen ahead of its September 22 publication

Adam and Amelia Wright, a married couple, had their lives going wrong for quite a while—despite what their last name may suggest. The couple wins a weekend getaway in Scotland, but it’s not the romantic getaway they thought it would be. Someone is determined to ruin this entire weekend and change their lives forever. Oh, and just to add some more weirdness to the story, Adam Wright has face blindness, which he has had his entire life, which means he can’t recognize family and

I gave this thriller five stars, and apparently I need to defend that decision. So, let’s talk about Little Red Death by Alexandra Benedict... I was given this book as an ARC from Poisoned Pen Press in exchange for my honest review, so thank you to Poisoned Pen Press, Alexandra Benedict for writing this story, and NetGalley for facilitating it all. Now, the premise: DI Lyla Rondell is on the case of a lifetime. Horrendous crimes are being committed, and they all have a very s

It’s January in the 1800s, and the people of a tiny Canadian town are learning that the forest doesn’t just take what it’s owed… it takes whatever it wants. **For future readers, there’s a potential spoiler in my review video on socials, but it’s also something that is revealed in the first chapter… so, maybe not really? I was given an ARC of Mere Joyce’s As The Snow Gathers by Poisoned Pen Press in exchange for my honest review, so first, thank you to all involved for making

In Lana Harper and Jilly Gagnon’s Cards on the Table, sisters Tori and Cassie Bishop make a little extra money reading tarot cards. When they’re offered a pretty tempting amount of cash to help an elderly woman contact her dead son, the sisters head to her mysterious mansion… because apparently accepting money to enter a creepy house is always a great idea. I was lucky enough to receive this ARC from Bantam in exchange for my honest review. A big thank you to Lana Harper, Jil

Riley Sager, I officially reached the beginning 👀 My rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My thoughts on Final Girls: I'll be honest: I didn't head-over-heels love this one quite as much as some of Sager's later books. Survive the Night, Home Before Dark, Lock Every Door, and The Only One Left all had me more invested. But there were some moments in this psychological thriller that absolutely worked for me, and the ending? SO GOOD. I genuinely didn't see everything coming, and I love when a thr

DID YOU HEAR? They say a girl died here… Anna and her family have just moved to Harper’s Creek, a little nowhere town with a dark history. But that’s all been resolved, so why is Anna feeling trapped? Why is her little sister afraid that she’ll be next? And WHY is Anna’s grandmother spinning out of control with paranoid episodes? I had the opportunity to read They Say A Girl Died Here early through an advanced listener copy (ALC), so first, thank you to Sarah Pinborough for t

In Max Doty’s The House That Eats The Dead, a family moves into their dream home under almost too-good-to-be-true circumstances, only to find out that the house itself has an insatiable hunger. And what it’s craving isn’t ice cream or carbs. And as the hunger intensifies, the family starts to lose control. I was lucky to be sent this ARC by Bantam, which is an imprint of Penguin Random House, in exchange for my honest review. But first, I want to say a big thank you to Max Do
