Nightmare Waiting & Other Stories by Glenn McGoldrick

[image error]Not reviewed on my blog.

I gave this book 2/5. Not my cup of the tea. The stories, although original, lacked conclusion.

After Dark by Mikey Campling

[image error]Full Review: After Dark.

I gave this book 3/5. This book had an interesting concept. I enjoyed the various POVs and how they linked up at the end of the narrative. It’s not often that you get the POV of an animal. I can’t say I found the story particularly scary.

Three Men and a Maybe by Katie Lovell

[image error]Full Review: Three Men and a Maybe.

I gave this book 4/5. An enjoyable, sweet read. Three proposals, three backstories, and one decision. The narrative had a satisfying, believable ending.

The Apple Orchard by Veronica Henry

[image error]Full Review: Apple Orchard.

I gave this book 3.5/5. A bittersweet story that makes you think about the value of life and who is really rich in this world. The ending felt a little abrupt, but the story is thought provoking.

Out of the Shadows by Dana Fraedrich

[image error]Full Review: Out of the Shadows.

I gave this book 4.5/5. The worldbuilding in this steampunk dystopia is extensive and thorough. The characters are well developed, and the sub plots run smoothly alongside Lenore’s story. I enjoyed the way the line between right and wrong is blurred in regards to fighting the ‘good fight’. Rook was a favourite of mine.

Wardens of Archos by Sarina Langer

[image error]Full Review: Wardens of Archos.

I gave this book 4.5/5. This book carries on effortlessly from book one. The relationship dynamics are fresh and raw, and new characters have me intrigued. That plot twist was a ‘why didn’t I see that coming?’ moment, and has left me desperate for book three.

Hawaiian Heartbreak by Libby Cole

[image error]Full Review: Hawaiian Heartbreak.

I gave this book 3.5/5. A blossoming romance, steamy scenes, and relatable characters. The ending was a little abrupt and had no conclusion for my taste. However, I enjoyed this short read, and look forward to reading the rest in the series.

The Manningtree Account by Becky Wright

[image error]Full Review: The Manningtree Account.

I gave this book 4.5/5. A well written blend of past and present. The creepy supernatural element of this book draws on the historical facts of the witch burnings. A quick, halloween read that certainly throws a curve ball ending.

Rising by Brian Rella

[image error]Full Review: Rising.

I gave this book 3/5. Perfect for Halloween with lots of gore and violence. Some unbelievable character choices, but this may have been to progress the narrative in a short period of time. More explanation and slower pacing would have helped the believability.
