| This book had such a strong start! I was ready to buckle up and looking forward for what's to come. I think calling it "Barbie meets Scream" messed with my expectations but it didn't really deliver that for me. It was a campy slasher, though and fans ...more | |

Ours is a Tale of Murder is a clever thriller. It was like standing on the shoreline at the ocean and having the waves pull the sand from beneath your feet. It subtly shifts from under you, and you have to adapt. I had so much fun with it. Read if yo ...more |

This was the best thriller I've read all year. 5/5 stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 This has action, adventure, claustrophobia, so many sharp twists, and kept me fully immersed until the satisfying final turn of the page. The story begins when two best friends decide to ...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.”

“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”
