2⭐️ The speech between characters is cringe worthy. It feels forced and out of sync. The whole thing comes of kinda creepy and r*pey. I didn't care about any of the characters 😕 but it's a pretty cover

5⭐️ It's rare a book scares me. Gives that deep down, can't sleep, reading w/ the lights on feeling. This book did. Kept having to walk away. Needing a break, a stop to jumping at every little sound and looking over my shoulder. This book got under my skin and creeped me out.

4⭐️ "D*mmit Donut!" Absolute batsh*t crazy madness in the best possible way. I don't even know where to begin. I would sound like a mad woman on a psychic break if I even attempted to describe this book. But let's give it a wirl......

4⭐️ This book is kinda the horror genre idea of a coming of age story. Keep in mind that NOT all horror is scary. Be warned this book is very speculative. It wants you to draw your own conclusions as to what exactly is going on.

6⭐️ This is a horror straight from the deepest recesses of your mind where your childhood nightmares still live. Horror yet heartwarming. Fantasy based in reality. Childhood and adulthood are vying for possession. Best of reads!! I can't recommend it enough!!!

3⭐️ Somehow, the cheating husband is the best adult in this book Upcoming plot points are dropped like bread crumbs on a trail that doesn't exist as the reader stumbles blind through the storyline, ignoring the forest for the trees. enjoyed the acknowledgments more than the book

5⭐️ horror Edge on my seat reading. The suspense of WTF was real with this read. This book was so unputdownable that even though I own the physical copy, I had to grab the audible as well, so silly things like driving and cooking didn't stop the madness.

4⭐️ I loved the FMC & felt for her every step of the way. From the hurt her family caused to the silent distancing from her friends. She holds fast & determined while seeming to get the short straw in life. Preston has yet to write a character I haven't been fully engrossed in.

katiebellareads.bsky.social @katiebellareads.bsky.social · 20/01/2026

3⭐️ There is zero growth throughout the book. There is no real dimension to the story. No excitement. no suspense. This is just torture and blood for the sake of it and not done as well as a lot of gore filled books out there. It had potential. It just didn't live up to it.

4⭐️ It's bloody gruesome madness and yet delicate and beautiful. Have I mentioned that I adore this series? Dark Romance MMF. 3rd book in the Devourer of Men series, a spin-off of Vicious Lost Boys series.

Did you really go to Target if you don't buy a new book? The Obsession (by: Natasha Preston)

katiebellareads.bsky.social @katiebellareads.bsky.social · 16/01/2026

You know the saying "everything but the kitchen sink?" Well, this book threw in the sink. Twists that wouldn't be out of place in any daytime soap opera. (Think comas an amnesia) it's a wild, unhinged ride that will leave your jaw on the floor asking yourself WTF?!

5⭐️ "It frightens me what lengths men will go to once a woman becomes... inconvenient. " Wickedness comes to light, showing that a shadow is just the cast off reflection of the truth. History & folklore, she beautified this illustrious woman, gave her the dignity history erased

5⭐️ "But it's the little things that get to you. Like having a nose." First book read of 2026. I knew it would be good, but HOLY COW!! @cjtudor.bsky.social outdid herself here. This was amazing. Thriller/horror, perfect snowy read

3.5⭐️ Even lighter on spice than the last one, but captivating for other reasons. They draw the reader in. Where the last book was told from Cole and Austin's POVs, these ones included Deke. Strong, smart, loyal, and a complete bad*ss he alone was worth the journey.

#booksky 4⭐️ Comparable Douglas's Devils Night Series, this is about a group of teen boys in their last year of school, playing high-risk pranks. With money and family power, they quite literally can get away with murder. It's also about the girls who get pulled into their games.

#booksky 3.5⭐️ This book was conceptually intriguing with an interesting premise. For what it is, it is even structured and executed well. The writing is both simplistic and engrossing. The characters are engaging and show growth. I read this book in one day, and I was completely engaged. Yet.......

4⭐️ One of my favorite horror tropes is, is it a mental illness, or is it supernatural? Or someone playing a cruel game? The best authors leave the answer ambiguous. Here, the author has done just that with skill and ingenious. The ending was suburb. #booksky

katiebellareads.bsky.social @katiebellareads.bsky.social · 11/10/2025

#booksky 4⭐️ If you're a fan of things that go bump in the night, myths, urban Legends, the supernatural, and yes, skinwalkers, this is might be the book for you. Steeped in historical background of real events, the author has twisted truth with fiction to come up with this unputdownable wild ride

#booksky 4⭐️ Fans of McFadden should absolutely check out this brilliant British thriller author. Shirt chapters, edge of your seat twist and turns, complete with captivating writing, makes Boland a go to author for roller coaster reading.

#booksky 5⭐️ Historical horror of biblical proportion Such in-depth characters. So many of them at yet so well fleshed out. I cared at each of their deaths and survival. The book dragged along in the dark. I loved it and loathed it.

4⭐️ ( I read this a week after publication but forgot to post due to being in a slump!) They are freaking Jabberwockys!!!! The Easter eggs to Alice in Wonderland were MADDening. I wanted more. There wasn't enough. I love how Crowe blends loved children's tales into twisted dark romance for adults.

4.5 ⭐️ Ania has a way of filling the reader with dread even when her characters are doing nothing more innocuous than eating ice cream. Queen of the slow burn, she holds suspense while pacing the dramas of everyday life. The thing is, you KNOW that in the end, it will all go very bad very quickly.

010

katiebellareads.bsky.social @katiebellareads.bsky.social · 03/10/2025

#booksky 4⭐️ Everyone dies in the end. Can this man please give a character a break? Tragedy, heartbreak, death, jail, financial ruin, loss..... these are the kinds out outcomes the author gives to his characters. Characters he has made me care for, commiserate with, cheer for, pray for.

5⭐️ History meets science fiction in this horror novel of doom. Pandoras box is found by modern-day scientists and its everything the legend fears and marvels at. This book blends and bends facts & fiction with a mix of War & Mayhem, creating the perfect combination of ghosts and soldiers. #booksky

#booksky This book gives a new spin on an old tale. Transforming not just the birth, death, and resurrection of Christ but also the details in-between. With medicine, not miracles, Yeshua healed the sick and suffering. Review:https://katiebellareads.wordpress.com/2025/08/12/the-gospel-of-salome/

4⭐️ @an_wo_long Take the trigger warnings seriously. This is NOT a dark romance. The sex is violent and deplorable. It's not safe. She wasn't safe. I was sick to my stomach with grief and heartache for her and disgusted with how she was used. Review at: katiebellareads.wordpress.com/2025/08/11/k...

During July, I felt like I wasn't reading much. Too hot. Too tired. Overworked overestimated. I felt like I wasn't reading at all. It wasn't until I went through at the end of the month and took a look at what I had read that I realized that July was, in reality, a pretty good month of reads.

#booksky 4.5⭐️ All the goosebumps feel with a more experienced writing style. You could tell the author poured himself into this tale while still keeping it appropriate and engrossing for all ages. Review: katiebellareads.wordpress.com/2025/07/30/a...

#booksky 5⭐️ While on my quest to read 25 shirt stories, I got to the short story They're Made Out of Meat. This was the only way I could find the story. Loved every one of them and couldn't put it down. Soon, I was ordering the book Bears Discover Fire 🐻🔥 An anthology by the same author.
