  • “The Carrow Haunt” by Darcy Coates

    Just finished reading this book and I enjoyed it. I’m kind of a sucker for haunted houses stories and this one definitely didn’t disappoint. The book kept me engaged the whole time I was reading it from start to finish. I enjoyed the characters and their interaction over the course of the book…….each of the…

  • “Ward D” by Freida McFadden

    Just finished reading this one today and it was a good one. There are so many twists and turns throughout the book that it’ll keep you reading the whole time. Plus, I never saw the end coming. I also liked the fact that the chapters were normally short most of the time and I think…

    The Last Apprentice series by Joseph Delaney is one of my all time favorite series that I’ve read. The books go by a different title in the UK, which is where the author is from. There was even a movie that came out in 2014 that is loosely based on the first book and stars…

  • Books or TV Show: True Blood

    As we’ve all seen from film and TV show adaptations, books and their visual counterparts are different. In some cases, very different. “True Blood” is no exception to this rule. Based around “The Southern Vampire Mysteries” by Charlaine Harris, “True Blood” brings the thirteen novels to life across seven seasons. For the most part, the…
