Had intended to listen to The Collector but got sidetracked to The Rescue LOLSo next up will be The Collector, then I might try Michael Marshall Straw Men... if I can keep on track :)
just finished Men of the otherworld By Kelley Armstrong and now I'm currently reading Ghost Light By Joseph O Connor
Currently reading Endurance22% of the way through and this is the scariest thing I have read in ages - even making my heart speed up!!! Whew,,,,
Reminds me of X Files Season 4 epi 2 "Home" and that was soooo creepy,,,
Enjoy if you dare
I just finished
and I truly enjoyed it. Even with all the comparisons to the Millennium trilogy, it had its own voice.I had some trouble with the time jumps at first, even though the chapter titles kept it all straight. But when I paid attention to the time changes, I thoroughly enjoyed the story, the plot was well executed and drew out nicely. there were a couple of alternate stories to keep you guessing.
Anyway, I really enjoyed it. I have heard mixed reviews. Anyone else here read it?

Excellent! I'm looking forward to reading Endurance soon, just finished Afraid and I couldn't put it down so figured a break between 'stress-tests' would be a good idea lol
Recently finished
, the first horror/thriller I've read in a while. It is an anthology of short stories and while I enjoyed it, I feel that a few of the stories were predictable and lacked oomph. Perhaps I've been spoiled by short stories written by Jeffrey Deaver, Stephen King and Dean Koontz that pack a hell of a punch!
I finished Endurance, it was audio and narrated by Christopher Lane. All I can really say is that this would probably have got a better rating from me in any other format (which I don't do) or perhaps with a different narrator. Others might appreciate Mr Lane's theatrics but I prefer a straight read.I'm still looking forward to Trapped though.... wondering who narrates....

If you do try it in audio let me know what you thought of it, I'm curious what others make of it :)
Finished reading Ghost Light By Joseph O'Connor and I'm still reading The Summoning By Kelley Armstrong and i started with Apartment 16 By Adam Nevill
Just finished The Summoning By Kelley Armstrong and still reading Apartment 16 By Adam Nevill and I'm starting The Awakening By Kelley Armstrong
Just finished Pressure and I almost lost it at the end. Without giving anything away, it brought out so many emotions.

I finished it and it was very good. Strand is one terric writer.
Hey Gatorman, have you read Endurance by Jack Kilborn? I heard it was really good. I have it on my kindle just haven't read it yet.
Just started The Portal by Christopher Allan Poe....Have only read 2 Chapters and I had to turn the lights on - I don't scare easily but this book gives me the creeps! Excellent so far :)

I'm finished Killer Takes All By Erica Spindler, which I really enjoyed, loved the ending and I'm still reading Have You Seen Her By Karen Rose and I'm also just started Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow? By Claudia Carroll
I just started 77 Shadow Street today. It's really good so far but there are several characters to remember but otherwise a typical Koontz story.
Just finished Room By Emma Donoghue and Have You Seen Her By Karen Rose and I've finished Will You Still Love Me Tommorow By Claudia Carroll a few weeks ago now I'm starting Lost Dogs and Lonely Hearts By Lucy Dillon
I'm about to finish Thaw by Bryan Dunn ... pretty fun but took a while to get to the meat of the story

Tracy, the first few chapters are very good. I haven't read anything else of him, so thank you for recommendation! I'm very hooked on this book, can't wait to continue reading.
