Book Review: The Kill (The Forbidden Game #3) by L.J. Smith
The Kill (The Forbidden Game #3)
by L.J. Smith
The Kill is the third and final book in The Forbidden Game Trilogy and for me it was also the best one. In this book Jenny and her friends are once again faced against Julian's Games and nightmares for one final time, and they have to win in order to save Tom and Zach from the Shadow World. The Game this time is a Treasure Hunt and it takes place in an amusement park. That was by far the scariest setting, with so many creepy possibilities.
I loved...
Book Blitz: Othlello by C.E. Wilson
Othello (Shakespeare for Everyone Else, #2)by C.E. WilsonRelease Date: 2013Summary from Goodreads: Shakespeare’s work features some of the most memorable stories and characters ever created, yet for too many curious readers the combination of ultra-dense dialogue and unfamiliar historical settings make tackling the Bard’s work something between a tedious chore and a confusing mess of bird-bolts and quondam carpet-mongers.
While it’s nearly impossible to replicate or improve on these works,...

Book Review: The Hunter (The Forbidden Game #1) by L.J. Smith
The Hunter (The Forbidden Game #1)
by L.J. Smith
I know I am a few years late on reading this but I am so excited that I finally did. The Hunter is the first book in L.J. Smith's Forbidden Game series. I was a bit skeptic about reading it but since I am back in my hometown for X-mas, I don't have many unread books available to me and I ended up picking it up and pretty much getting sucked into the Game's world.
The Hunter introduces us to Jenny and her friends. The 7 of them end up starting The...

Book Review: The Pumpkin Man by John Everson
The Pumpkin Man
by John Everson
The first time I read The Pumpkin Man's blurb I though it sounded a lot like all those "Cabin in the Woods" kind of movies I love to watch. A group of friends visit an old house/cabin/camp etc. and they awake the spirits of the house and something sinister comes after them. That's basically the storyline of hundreds of horror movies, and even though it's a common idea, I love it.
Anyways, this book started like those movies, Jenn inherits her aunt's house after he...
