| Luminary is a "prep school" with a mandatory NDA attached and prison adjacent rules that must be followed by all scholars. I liked the dark academia and think it's a solid YA novel. I also found the various moral dellema questions interesting. There ...more | |

| The animals are fed up with us, ya'll. 😅 This was a good one! I liked the investigation element as the MC works to solve various murders that all share gruesome bite marks on the bodies. The author does a great job with character development and I fe ...more | |

| The concept and portions of the execution were SO good! It had some truly creepy moments and interactions between the "artist" and Emily. However, it was mostly slow and went in redundent circles. Emily and Jack were also pretty odd and reminded me o ...more | |

| The opening paragraphs of this were absolute bangers that really allow the author's writing talents to shine, and demonstrate that she's a phenomenal wordsmith. Harrison's writing goes beyond horror and tugs at the deeper feelings of the reader. She ...more | |

| This was such a creepy slow burn story full of psychological terror and true horror in an eerie North Georgia Appalacians atmosphere. And those photos...yikes! The MC is plagued by mysterious and horrifying pictures if his childhood and murky memorie ...more | |

Woah. That first chapter made my jaw DROP, and the twists kept coming from there. This domestic thriller had layers to it and I was totally engaged from start to finish. Each chapter left me feeling something, and it was great. I always tend to enjoy ...more |

“Before sitting down, I light a pumpkin candle, because ‘tis the season, and all that. It isn’t lost on me that I’m delving into a mystery involving murderous witches a mere week before Halloween.”

“I think we don’t matter anymore unless there’re people alive who still value our memories. Our entire existence just seems meaningless if not for the imprints we leave behind.” I shrug, “I guess I’m in a nihilist mood tonight.”

“Oh you cut your hair! What happened? Are you going through a breakup or something?"
"My favorite character died.”

"My favorite character died.”

“The best fantasy is written in the language of dreams. It is alive as dreams are alive, more real than real ... for a moment at least ... that long magic moment before we wake.
Fantasy is silver and scarlet, indigo and azure, obsidian veined with gold and lapis lazuli. Reality is plywood and plastic, done up in mud brown and olive drab. Fantasy tastes of habaneros and honey, cinnamon and cloves, rare red meat and wines as sweet as summer. Reality is beans and tofu, and ashes at the end. Reality is the strip malls of Burbank, the smokestacks of Cleveland, a parking garage in Newark. Fantasy is the towers of Minas Tirith, the ancient stones of Gormenghast, the halls of Camelot. Fantasy flies on the wings of Icarus, reality on Southwest Airlines. Why do our dreams become so much smaller when they finally come true?
We read fantasy to find the colors again, I think. To taste strong spices and hear the songs the sirens sang. There is something old and true in fantasy that speaks to something deep within us, to the child who dreamt that one day he would hunt the forests of the night, and feast beneath the hollow hills, and find a love to last forever somewhere south of Oz and north of Shangri-La.
They can keep their heaven. When I die, I'd sooner go to middle Earth.”

“Oh, my sweet summer child," Old Nan said quietly, "what do you know of fear?
Fear is for the winter, my little lord, when the snows fall a hundred feet
deep and the ice wind comes howling out of the north. Fear is for the long
night, when the sun hides its face for years at a time, and little children
are born and live and die all in darkness while the direwolves grow gaunt and
hungry, and the white walkers move through the woods”
