The Witches of Moonshyne Manor by Bianca Marais

3.5

I loved that this was more about friendship and being an older woman than about fighting with men. It was more the friends working together to solve a problem and I loved the characters so much. This was funny and twisty and I really recommend.

I really enjoyed this book. It’s more slower paced than most of my reads but it was full of information to try to help you solve the mystery. The characters are well developed and I read this so quickly! 
Episode Thirteen by Craig DiLouie

This was a creepy novel about a haunted house. I loved the many different transcripts and different types telling this story. It made it a much faster read. I don’t know how I feel about that ending, but I would recommend if you enjoyed other DiLouie’s work.

Thank you to NetGalley, Ragnar Jonasson and St Martin’s Press for the free ebook in exchange for an honest review. 

I usually love Jonasson’s writing but something about the first half of this novel just didn’t speak to me. But the last half was amazing. I was totally into it and the twists were good. I loved seeing a character return from previous novels and I hope there will be another novel with these characters.

Thank you to NetGalley, Sylvester Barzey and Sterling and Stone for the free ebook in exchange for an honest review. 

This was very good and twisty. I loved that this wasn’t the normal camp slasher and had a really good paranormal element. I flew through it and really would recommend.

Thank you to NetGalley, Lily Sampson and Viking Publishing group for the free ebook in exchange for an honest review. 

Well this was a wild and shocking ride. I was reading away thinking this was a bit predictable when the author starts bombarding you with the most shocking twists. I still found it a bit longer than necessary but overall, very well done.

This was good! I really thought I knew what was going to happen and man was I wrong. This was a wild ride that was totally unexpected and fast paced. I really enjoyed it and flew through it.

This was really good! I loved the twists and the characters. The premise was so interesting and I think I could relate to a mom who just wants what’s best for her daughter in this messed up world.

Thank you to Libro.FM for my copy. 

This was the second in a series and I didn’t realize that, but you don’t need to have read the first to jump into the series. It was easy to follow and I really enjoyed detective Prichard! I’ll definitely go back and read the first one after this.

Thank you to NetGalley, Katherine Center and St Martin’s Press for the free ebook in exchange for an honest review. 

This was so what I need to get over my reading slump. It is so adorable and I forgot how much I enjoyed Center’s writing! She really makes me feel all the feels and I adored the premise of this.
