Sarah Betts (103 KP) rated The Fade in Books
Dec 31, 2019
I received a copy of this book from Netgalley And the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
This book is strange. The first half is a slow burn creepiness which I did not mind at all. Then the last fourt of the book is at breakneck speed and really confusing.
So. Plot. Haunted house. Dead girls. Creepy small child. Angty guy with past.
I liked the writing although the main character Haley seemed to be written about twelve instead of fifteen and that was...odd.
Also I really really hated the ending. I'll fully admit that that's a me thing though and has absolutely nothing to do with the quality of the writing.

The second book in The Vault of Dreamers starts from the cliffhanger of sorts OBrien left off with, though I personally think The Vault of Dreamers should've been left alone as a stand-alone. This sequel might be a little disorienting at first, as Rosa is in another body and it takes awhile to figure out what was going on.

Ari Augustine (10 KP) rated So I Might Be a Vampire in Books
May 4, 2020
Bob the vampire blows every pre-conceived notion of what it means to be immortal right out of the water. Long gone are the days of sparkling broods and filthy-rich creatures. In So I Might Be A Vampire, the glamour is stripped away and what you're left with is ultimately more human than anyone could have imagined.
Though I'm not normally one for comedy, this book made me laugh and for that, I recommend it. You can check out the full review at: https://ravenousforreads.com/so-i-might-be-a-vampire-by-rodney-v-smith-book-review/

Caffeinated Fae (464 KP) rated Choose Your Own Misery: Dating in Books
Jul 12, 2018
When you first start this book, listen to the warning. This book is sure to leave you entertained, depressed, scared, scarred and slightly relieved that you have gone so far in your life without knowing that "wound sex" is a thing. Choose Your Own Misery: Dating was hilarious! I couldn't put it down and all of the adventures were funny, scary, or downright disturbing. I loved that you could play as a man or a woman. It really did put it in perspective that everyone has it bad.
If you need a laugh and/or a cry, this is the book for you. It has anywhere from "wound sex" to "let's contact the ex" relationship horrors. It's sure to delight and/or frighten everyone.

Sophia (Bookwyrming Thoughts) (530 KP) rated The Bone Witch (The Bone Witch, #1) in Books
Jan 23, 2020
<b><i>I received this book for free from Publisher in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.</i></b>
Chupeco’s latest novel follows Tea as she first discovers her abilities as a bone witch and undergoes an apprenticeship, and years later as an adult. Secretly I am in love with The Young Elites by Marie Lu because Adelina is a villain and The Bone Witch is honestly similar because Tea is basically a villain.
It is a slow book. There are lots of descriptions and world-building, but the book definitely picks up a notch later.

<i>ARC provided by NetGalley in exchange for an honest review, thank you.</i>
I related to this book so much! The drawings were so funny and cute.
I laughed so much at some of the chapters and must say I had my favourites...such as the adult stickers and the tunnel of love (so funny as so true).
Some of the sections did go over my head but most of them I really enjoyed.

Sarah Betts (103 KP) rated Hot Fudge Murder in Books
Dec 31, 2019
I received a copy of this book from Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
I really enjoyed this cozy featuring an ice cream inventor!
Kate is invited to scoop at a fashion designers party which would be great but the poor man ends up murdered! (Sadly, not by a hot fudge sundae.)
Kate decides that she needs to solve the case.
It's a fun mystery with interesting characters and potential motives.

Sarah Betts (103 KP) rated And Then They Were Doomed: A Little Library Mystery in Books

I received a copy of And Then They Were Doomed from Crooked Lane Books through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review
I really liked this one which I was surprised by because it's pretty dark and has an overwhelming sense of dread.
I'm gonna say I would not have made the choice Zoe made at the end.
This book plays with tropes and perception and despite the darkness was highly enjoyable!
