What Have You Read - 2019

[Catherine]

Forest of Ghosts by J.H. Moncrieff - the fourth in her GhostWriters series, but can be read as a standalone. Jackson and Kate are back for more supernatural adventures, this time in a haunted forest in Romania. Packed with atmosphere and tension.

[Char]

Damn, you've been busy, Josh!

[Char]

I finished up Inspection by Josh Malerman and enjoyed it very much. Unique and original, as always.

[David]

Dead Stop by D. Nathan Hilliard
It was okay.

[Silvia]

Doctor Sleep and The Haunting of Hill House

Love The Haunting of Hill House - a true classic

[Char]

by Kelli Owen. A nice quiet dark fiction story.

I too LOVE The Haunting of Hill House.

[Erin]

The Guilty

It was ok, the twist sort of surprised me.

[Jeff]

Blackwell....voodoo, murder, and revenge...

[Clint]

Dead Stop is one hell of an awesome read! I have read it several times and still enjoy it every time I read it!

[Erin]

Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West

DNF, not for me.

[Char]

I hope your next read is better, Erin!

I just finished and enjoyed it quite a bit. :)

[sonya]

Sort of, haha. It was The Wolf Road which was okay for me, I wasn't that hung up on the way it was written.

[Char]

I finished and it was outstanding!

[Erin]

With Malice

I really liked this one.

[Brianna]

Just finished Two for the Dough on audiobook. Stephanie Plum novels make great crime stories with some good humor added in.

[Marie Helene]

A great (and dark) coming-of-age novella.

Then 😍

Both were excellent!

[David]

Great fun!

[sonya]

I just finished hazardous duty by web Griffin

[Alondra]

So far, I've read 16 books this year; so not too shabby.

I am really trying to get my series under control; most are half-starts and I am behind.

I recently finished The Marco Effect, which is #5 in the Dept Q series.

No horror yet, but I'm working on it. :)

I love Jussi Adler-Olsen's books.

[Erin]

The Chalk Man


A decent debut novel by the author.

[Josh]

Recently finished Alice by Christina Henry



My review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

A Harrowing and horrifying re-imagining of the popular children's tale.

[Erin]

I'm going to have to check that one out.

[Josh]

This horror / noir set in the 1980's is a lot of fun; Our Lady of the Inferno by Preston Fassel

Cool beans. I hope he keeps cranking these out. The relationship between Morck and Hardy is a crazy dynamic. I do love it though; strained as it is.

There are 7 books in the series thus far, though it's been a couple years since he's published a new one. There's also a Danish movie series based on the books. They're pretty good so far as cop-thriller movies go, but sadly, they cut out all of the wonderful humor and completely miscast Rose and Assad as normal people instead of what they should look like.

[Josh]

Night Train by Thomas F. Monteleone



My review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

[Erin]

All the Missing Girls

Not really impressed aside from the fact the story was told in reserved. The author seemed to have the tendency to overly remind the reader how everyone in the book had a secret which by the time the book ended, I didn't care about.

[Char]

I finished and thought it was a ton of fun! (Not a literary masterpiece, by far, but a blast if you're looking for entertainment with no moral behind it.)

[Erin]

Children of Blood and Bone


Considering all the hype and rave reviews, it just wasn't for me.

[Krystal]

This morning I finished The Boy Who Steals Houses which was a 5-star for me!

I've heard mixed reviews of this one. I have it on my bookshelf but haven't got around to it yet!

[Erin]

Yeah, there were some negative reviews that I read. I guess it's not for everyone.

[Alondra]

Just finished American Vampire, Vol. 7. 5 Stars.

I never want this series to end!!

[Erin]

I'll Be Gone in the Dark: One Woman's Obsessive Search for the Golden State Killer

[Char]

and

[Erin]

How was Daisy Jones & The Six?

[Catherine]

The Hungry Moon by Ramsey Campbell - Classic Ramsey Campbell. Folklore horror at its best

[Gavin]

The Complete Fiction of H.P. Lovecraft. As big as Azathoth himself, but really enjoyed reading the entire work of one of the masters of the weird tale.

[Kelly B]

The cover is definitely the best thing about this book. The writing was bad, there were many plot holes, and characters doing things that didn't make any sense.

[Char]

I listened to it on audio with a full cast and it was excellent!

[WendyB , Christmas Mouse]

The Golem and the Jinni Such a great story. Loved it.

[Erin]

Circe


Started off strong but fell apart for me half way through.

Good to know! I plan on reading it at some point.

[Catherine]

Silent Children by Ramsey Campbell I've been indulging in a bit of a Ramsey Campbell book fest recently and thoroughly enjoying reading some of the older classics, of which this is one.

[Kelly B]

Interesting book, and I thought the ending was great.
