THIS ONE'S GONNA HURT by Cody J. Thompson

 

This One's Gonna Hurt This One's Gonna Hurt by Cody J. Thompson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Well, that was quite the blood-soaked ride! Also, if you're squeamish, you definitely need to know that this book needs all the trigger warnings.

Halloran Summit Road is a desolate area located at the end of a random off-ramp along the freeway in the California desert. A place to rest while you charge your electric car. Somewhere for five friends to take a detour while on their way to a music festival in Las Vegas...

You know, I ju...

Glad I got stuck into this one right away because it continues from the first volume and throws Sabrina into a bunch of problems.

I love all things Sabrina, so when I found out about this comic book series I was eager to check it out.

All she can really do now is treat patients and maintain Hawthornden Castle as it starts to decay around her.
When saving a life leads to her arrest, Hazel seems doomed to rot in prison until a message intervenes: Hazel has been specifically requested to be the personal physician of Princess Charlotte, the s...

I read the first volume the other night and enjoyed it so much I picked this one up too.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I was looking forward to reading this one because so many people seemed to like it, but I ended up being a bit disappointed.

Okay, so the story's messed up and dark, shows the past dysfunction and tragedy that this small family went through, while introducing the w...

THE GHOST IN YOU by Ed Brubaker & Sean Phillips

 

The Ghost in You (Reckless, #4) The Ghost in You by Ed Brubaker
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have to admit that I haven't read the previous books in this series, and don't even know who Ethan Reckless is, but I liked the cover. So, I decided to read it anyway. 🙂

It's 1989 and while Ethan is out of town, Anna decides to take on a job by herself. Especially since an old movie scream queen she used to love asks her to investigate if the murder-house mansion she's renovating is haunted...

Well, that was unexpectedly awesome!

I always e...

Our Own Unique Affliction Our Own Unique Affliction by Scott J. Moses
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I love reading, watching and writing about vampires. I'm also one of those people who will never get sick of vampire stories. In my opinion, you can never have too many. So, of course I was interested in checking this out.

Alice Ann and Hannah Grace aren't your average sisters because they're not exactly human. While Alice Ann prowls the night looking for victims, her older sister prefers to stay behind because she hasn't been f...
