Don’t Tell A Soul by Kristen Miller

Summary:

A story about a new girl in an old town filled with dark secrets . . . that might just kill her.

People say the house is cursed.
It preys on the weakest, and young women are its favorite victims.
In Louth, they’re called the Dead Girls.

All Bram wanted was to disappear—from her old life, her family’s past, and from the scandal that continues to haunt her. The only place left to go is Louth, the tiny town on the Hudson River where her uncle, James, has been renovating an old mansion.

But James is haunted by his own ghosts. Months earlier, his beloved wife died in a fire that people say was set by her daughter. The tragedy left James a shell of the man Bram knew—and destroyed half the house he’d so lovingly restored.

The manor is creepy, and so are the locals. The people of Louth don’t want outsiders like Bram in their town, and with each passing day she’s discovering that the rumors they spread are just as disturbing as the secrets they hide. Most frightening of all are the legends they tell about the Dead Girls. Girls whose lives were cut short in the very house Bram now calls home.

The terrifying reality is that the Dead Girls may have never left the manor. And if Bram looks too hard into the town’s haunted past, she might not either.

My Review:

So what happens when trying to escape your past and move into a haunted house?

Bram ready to start a new a life and help her uncle fix up his creepy house. Also she there to solve a mystery of the place. She had read the stories and felt like a connection with one of the girls who was kill in the house. Bram only just wants to keep to self, but is hard when things go bump in the night and something dangerous lurking.

I did enjoyed this book. It was a spooky read and has characters to love. Sometimes it got tense the story and deal with some haunting shocking secrets. I gotten say I really love the scary cover. It fits the theme of the whole book. So many shocking twists a long the way. It was a delightful experience. Also it was very well written and detailed. Could see myself reading this book over and over again.

Don’t Tell A Soul is a good haunting read for those mystery lovers out. So check it out.

Happy Reading!!!

The Afterlife of the Party by Marlene Perez

• 

Summary:

The bestselling author of the Dead Is… series is back with a snarky, hilarious take on the vampire romance novel.

When my best friend Skyler told me about this party in the Hollywood Hills, I was less than enthused. As it turned out, my feelings were more than justified. That party ruined my life.

Tansy didn’t even want to go to the party. It’s hard enough living in one of your best friend’s shadows and secretly in love with your other best friend.

And now she’s leaving it a vampire.

Now her best friend Skyler is stuck on the road trip from hell, on tour as a groupie with a literal band of vamps. Tansy sets out with Vaughn, her other BFF turned maybe more, to save Skylar’s life and take down the band. But when they find themselves in the middle of a vampire war, will Tansy be able to make the ultimate sacrifice to save her friends?

My Review:

Welcome to the Afterlife of the Party. 

Tansy is not really a party girl. She rather dip her hands into witchcraft. When Skyler her best friend drag her to a party she soon won’t forget. It’s going to be a race against time to save herself and best friend. 

This book was so much fun to read. Hot vampires in a band that are evil. Sign me up for that. Also the main character is very powerful witch that turn into half vampire I the book. Just a matter of her learning to control power with help of cute guy friend. This book was a fast pace read against time to save some lives. A lot is at stake and lucky this book is a series to enjoy.

This book has:

Magical Creatures 

Vampires

Witches 

Humans

Ready to party it up with some vampires??

What I’m Reading Monday

Summary:

A queer retelling of “The Firebird,” a Russian folktale

When twin heirs are born in Tourin, their fates are decided at a young age. While Izaveta remained at court to learn the skills she’d need as the future queen, Asya was taken away to train with her aunt, the mysterious Firebird, who ensured magic remained balanced in the realm.

But before Asya’s training is completed, the ancient power blooms inside her, which can mean only one thing: the queen is dead, and a new ruler must be crowned.

As the princesses come to understand everything their roles entail, they’ll discover who they can trust, who they can love—and who killed their mother.

Summary:

Across the country, human teens are going missing, and all eyes are turning to the fae.

Seventeen-year-old Freddie is a human at a magically diverse boarding school who longs to report on the war-torn realms of Fairy. When humans disappear on campus, it’s the perfect opportunity to jump-start her journalism career. While the public blame the fae, Freddie wants facts. If she’s going to get published, she’ll need to find out who or what is behind these disappearances.

Aiden is a fae soldier with a murderous reputation. Raised in the dark fae court and forced to partake in the brutal Fairy Civil War, he thirsts for revenge against the realm which murdered his family. His new mission gives him the opportunity he’s longed for. But when Freddie snoops into his life, he questions if revenge is worth the price of his freedom.

Lured by her suspicions and distracted by his curiosity, Freddie and Aiden form a tenuous bond. But as their feelings for one another grow, so does the danger. Every clue points to Aiden as the kidnapper, and as his enemies close in, Freddie must make a choice: turn against him or fight for a relationship doomed to fail.

House of Hollow by Krystal Sutherland

Summary:

Seventeen-year-old Iris Hollow has always been strange. Something happened to her and her two older sisters when they were children, something they can’t quite remember but that left each of them with an identical half-moon scar at the base of their throats.

Iris has spent most of her teenage years trying to avoid the weirdness that sticks to her like tar. But when her eldest sister, Grey, goes missing under suspicious circumstances, Iris learns just how weird her life can get: horned men start shadowing her, a corpse falls out of her sister’s ceiling, and ugly, impossible memories start to twist their way to the forefront of her mind.

As Iris retraces Grey’s last known footsteps and follows the increasingly bizarre trail of breadcrumbs she left behind, it becomes apparent that the only way to save her sister is to decipher the mystery of what happened to them as children.

The closer Iris gets to the truth, the closer she comes to understanding that the answer is dark and dangerous – and that Grey has been keeping a terrible secret from her for years.

My Review:

Three hollow sisters disappeared in the night and one month later they return as something else.

Years has passed and none of the sisters remember what happen the night they where gone. Their hair and eyes change colors and always hungry. The parents notice they are different, but they were just happy they are home.

Now that the sisters are older and living exciting lives. Grey is a model, Vivi the rock star, and Iris stays behind. Iris is the good girl and does everything her mother says. All she wants is her sisters back home together. When Grey goes missing, it will be time to face the past and remember what happen.

House of Hollows was such a very creepy read. There some sensitive trigger warning it for some readers. The story was very detailed and graphic at times. This book was an emotional crazy experience. I love how realistic the cover is. When I open the book and saw a ant inside the cover, I nearly scream. Also you enjoy the characters within the book. I really love this book and how it ended. Even the book trailer can watch over and over again.

If you enjoy crazy horror stuff, then you need to check out House of Hollows.

Whisper Down the Lane by Clay McLeod Chapman

Summary:

Inspired by the McMartin preschool trials and the Satanic Panic of the ‘80s, the critically acclaimed author of The Remaking delivers another pulse pounding, true-crime-based horror novel.

Richard doesn’t have a past. For him, there is only the present: a new marriage to Tamara, a first chance at fatherhood to her son Elijah, and a quiet but pleasant life as an art teacher at Elijah’s elementary school in Danvers, Virginia. Then the body of a rabbit, ritualistically murdered, appears on the school grounds with a birthday card for Richard tucked beneath it. Richard doesn’t have a birthday—but Sean does . . .

Sean is a five-year-old boy who has just moved to Greenfield, Virginia, with his mother. Like most mothers of the 1980s, she’s worried about bills, childcare, putting food on the table . . . and an encroaching threat to American life that can take the face of anyone: a politician, a friendly neighbor, or even a teacher. When Sean’s school sends a letter to the parents revealing that Sean’s favorite teacher is under investigation, a white lie from Sean lights a fire that engulfs the entire nation—and Sean and his mother are left holding the match.

Now, thirty years later, someone is here to remind Richard that they remember what Sean did. And though Sean doesn’t exist anymore, someone needs to pay the price for his lies.

My Review:

Whisper Down the Lane is a game kids back in the 80s played. They sit around in a circle and whisperer a story, then at the end we see how much the story gets mix up. It was a fun a game back then. In this book the game becomes deadly.

Richard is a school teacher, he is marry and trying to warm up to the his new step son. He has no past and rather forget it. Then day he find a note from a kid Sean who does not go to his class. Sean might be the reason his life might go downhill.

This was a quick read, so was up all day until I finish it. It is told between both Sean and Richard point of view. I really enjoyed this book and I got lost in the story. Alot of fun crazy twists happens. The cover is so creepy and haunting looking. It is prefect for horror adult readers at there.

Don’t mind me reviewing this adult book. I do read a little bit of everything once a while.

The Infinity Courts by Akemi Dawn Bowman

Summary:

Eighteen-year-old Nami Miyamoto is certain her life is just beginning. She has a great family, just graduated high school, and is on her way to a party where her entire class is waiting for her—including, most importantly, the boy she’s been in love with for years.

The only problem? She’s murdered before she gets there.

When Nami wakes up, she learns she’s in a place called Infinity, where human consciousness goes when physical bodies die. She quickly discovers that Ophelia, a virtual assistant widely used by humans on Earth, has taken over the afterlife and is now posing as a queen, forcing humans into servitude the way she’d been forced to serve in the real world. Even worse, Ophelia is inching closer and closer to accomplishing her grand plans of eradicating human existence once and for all.

As Nami works with a team of rebels to bring down Ophelia and save the humans under her imprisonment, she is forced to reckon with her past, her future, and what it is that truly makes us human.

From award-winning author Akemi Dawn Bowman comes an incisive, action-packed tale that explores big questions about technology, grief, love, and humanity.

My Review:

What happens to you when you die?

In the book Infinity Courts you explore on what happens after you passed away. Your mind gets uploaded and get whisk away in a strange world. Infinity Courts is built by a smart A.I call Ophelia who rules over 4 different kingdoms.

This book has a very interesting storyline which I liked. It was something fun and adventurous at the same time. So much action packed from the beginning to end. Also you can see it has a very pretty cover. Plus you get to fall in love with so many different characters.

The main character Nami, leads the perfect life of course. Until one day on her way to a party, she gets killed. Now her mind is uploaded in Infinity Courts. She has to accept her faith and must figure out who to trust. All Nami ever wants is peace between everyone.

With everyone fighting, Will Nami be able to untie the A.Is and humans?

This book was very detailed in the world building. You can get very lost in the story and fall in love. Also it filled with some surprising twists. I’m so ready for book two.
