Heehee! Shea's SLASH was a boatload of fun!

Mark Young (markyounginfo) Just finished reading The Reddening by Adam Nevill - was really rooting for the two female leads all the way. Such a tense and exciting book.

The Bank

The new Bentley Little novel follows the same reliable formula as masterpieces like The Mailman and The Store.

Read this in about three sittings, not bad!


The Hunting Party by Lucy Foley

The Hunting Party
by Lucy Foley

Everyone's invited...everyone's a suspect...

For fans of Ruth Ware and Tana French, a shivery, atmospheric, page-turning novel of psychological suspense in the tradition of Agatha Christie, in which a group of old college friends are snowed in at a hunting lodge . . . and murder and mayhem ensue.

All of them are friends. One of them is a killer.

There's nothing like a good sasquatch story to distract you from a pandemic!

Oh, and by the same writer who brought us the Zombie Survival Guide?

Finished:

68 Kill by Bryan Smith

This one was a fun ride, a chocolate box of twisted and fucked up shit.

Catherine Cavendish | 314 comments The Wise Friend by Ramsey Campbell Brand new horror from this multi award winning author who knows how to spin a scary tale. This latest novel is full of creeping dread. Absolutely top class!

I think it's arguably her best - great atmosphere


message 235: by Nicholas (new)

Nicholas Mounts I just finished The Skin Trade. It's a Dan Simmons, George R.R. Martin, Stephen King anthology of short stories and a werewolf novella by GRRM. I highly recommend it. It's got me wanting to read more Dan Simmons stuff. His short stories stole the show.

Erin (ems84) | 9052 comments Not Guilty

Had potential but ultimately fell a bit flat.


message 237: by Char (new)

Char | 17457 comments Since I last posted, I've read Of Mice and Minestrone Hap and Leonard The Early Years by Joe R. Lansdale by Joe Lansdale.
I've also read a novella: Night Service by John F. Leonard by John Leonard. Both were good, but the Lansdale was excellent.

Krystal (krystallee6363) | 878 comments I finished the group read, Seven Cleopatra Hill, and really enjoyed it, though I was a little picky in places. I think I just wanted to love the characters more. The chaos was perfectly to my tastes though!

Just finished The Odds by Jeff Strand and it was so good that I had to read another one of his works, which I have ready to go after I post this.

Really great stuff, super fun if you love horror and suspense. From what I still saw its free if you have Kindle Unlimited.

Andrew✌️ (andrew619) | -117 comments Yesterday I've finished The Old Man and the Sea. It's a classical of literature and one of the few audiobook I taken. An exciting story, sad and emotionally deep. Maybe it's one of those books that you can understand more with a second reading.

I hope you have fun! I read an audiobook, so maybe I will do another reading in the next days, to understand it in the best way. :)
