So I one-clicked it, and saved it for a scary-craving moment and now… I devoured it. Oh and… I went in completely blind, other than that creepy title, and the fact that it was making so many “scary must reads” lists.

Book Review – Home Before Dark by Riley Sager
It took me way too long to read despite being so certain that it would be a book I’d devour. I paid that full price for it (I didn’t even wait for it to go on sale), so you know I was rubbing my hands together with creepy-glee. I’m a huge fan of The Amityville Horror (the movie and the book), and this one definitely seemed to have “that feel” going in. I WAS ALL IN!!
Book Review – What We Forgot to Bury by Marin Montgomery
And surprise surprise, this one actually had a touch of that, too!
Tasha J: Still can’t decide on Kindle 1st. Stories We Never Told or What We Forgot to Bury is what I’ve narrowed it down to.
Maryse: OMG three of them sound SO freaking good right now. Exactly the ones you love, I love!!! I can’t choose. Okay wait… for me it’s definitely between What We Forgot to Bury and Stories We Never Told…
Book Review – Her by Britney King
<—- Oooooh boy what did I just READ???!! That was just MESSED UP!!!!! I don’t even know how to review this. My thoughts are all over the place.
Honestly? I can’t even tell if I like it, or not. I couldn’t put it down, but it drove me crazy (yes… the entire time I was devouring it, I was mad at it). It’ll take me a few days to let this one sink in. Was it over-the-top crazy ridiculous? Was it genius? Was it both?
It’s like one of those movies that you enjoyed and think you liked but kind of hated, and aren’t even sure who you could recommend it to. Your recommendation would come with lots of warnings. Mine will be, this will drive you crazy, make you mad, and you’ll need to suspend disbelief. A LOT. And yet, if you like psych-thrillers like I do, you’ll still be tearing through it to find out what the heck is going on.
Book Review – The Date by Louise Jensen
The Date: An unputdownable psychological thriller with a breathtaking twist
I couldn’t help but one-click this one when I saw the premise. A “blind/internet” date gone wrong, and it’s a psych-thriller, too??!!! MINE!!! All sorts of scenarios were running through my head. Would he be a stalker? Would he have a stalker ex? Would SHE become stalker-ish? Would he be some sort of underground serial killer, and yet the perfect boyfriend? WHERE could this go.
And this part of the blurb SOLD me on it.
