Horror Movie by Paul Tremblay

3.0

Thank you to NetGalley, Paul Tremblay and William Morrow for the free ebook in exchange for an honest review. 

I had quite high expectations for this one and unfortunately for me, it fell short. I found the way it was formatted was difficult to read on kindle and I just didn’t connect with the characters. I liked the ending but that’s about it. It’s not a bad book, just too difficult for me to follow.

Thank you to Libro.FM for my audio copy!

This was interesting to say the least; I found I was interesting and kept wondering what possibly could have happened. It took a long time to get to the answers but that’s normal. I was shocked by the ending. Couldn’t believe it and loved it.

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

So addicting. I read this so fast and I did not want to put it down. It’s a really fast paced and interesting read that I thought was totally going in another direction. I think this may be my favourite book by this author.

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

Interesting concept but it took too long for me personally to get to the good parts and the twisty bits. I loved the last 15% of the book but I was starting to wonder if there was even going to be a twist.

Another short but anything but sweet thriller from Bailey. I found myself sighing at the main characters decisions, but it was fast paced and so twisty.

This was hyped beyond belief so I didn’t know what expect. I found it very long and easy to read but until the last 100 pages, I wasn’t super compelled to turn pages. The last bit though, shockingly good.

Thank you to NetGalley, Lucinda Berry and Thomas & Mercer for the free ebook in exchange for an honest review. 

Like Berry’s other works, this is a compelling and page turning novel that I quite enjoyed. I would definitely recommend and I can’t wait to read more backlist titles from this author!

Thank you to NetGalley, Stephen Graham Jones and Simon and Schuster Canada for the free ebook in exchange for an honest review. 

This was exactly what I’ve come to expect from this author. It’s unique and I love that it was told from the slashers point of view! You never see that and I loved them walking right into all the horror movie tropes! I really enjoyed this one and I recommend this if you liked any of this authors previous novels!
The Chamber by Will Dean

Thank you to NetGalley, Will Dean and Atria Books for the free ebook in exchange for an honest review. 

This wasn’t quite what I expected, but it definitely felt very claustrophobic and lock in type mystery. I really needed to know what was happening and I cruised through this. I’m a bit confused about the ending but I think that’s on me, not on the book. Definitely recommend.

So so good. I was instantly addicted to the storyline and wanted to know which characters were guilty AF. I couldn’t put this down, read the entire thing in one sitting and highly recommend.
