creepy, scary haunted house
Blissful beginnings for a young couple turn into a nightmare after purchasing their dream home in Wales in 1989. Their love and their resolve are torn apart by an indescribable entity that pushes paranormal activity to the limit. Haunted: Horror of Haverfordwest is the prequel to the bestselling A Most Haunted House. Dare you step inside...
Whether you are a believer in the paranormal or not you shall enjoy reading this book. This is a very well written story and it is based around the authors’ own experience he had living in a haunted house in Wales. The writer had over 20 years’ worth of evidence. There are incidents and events that still linger long after you finish reading that will keep you thinking long into the night.
This book for me is just brilliant and I love the paranormal as I grew up in a haunted house and have my own experiences as well. This book just grabs you and doesn’t let go. The atmosphere of the book is not for the faint hearted and easily scared but if you are be sure to read with all the lights on. You simply cannot go wrong if what you're looking for is an intense and spooky story.
Many thanks to John Hunt Publishing and Net Galley for an ARC.

Dare to Dream

<i>Dare to Dream</i> isn't so much as horrifying as to a novel aimed at a younger audience rather than the upper teens running amok from book to book behind Bookwyrming Thoughts (and of course, their own blogs). Simply put: Ella will butcher this, Lupe will make this sprout unicorns, Rundus will dissect this in a manner as seriously as possible, and Sophia might do a combination of blandly blunt dissection while trying to sprout at least one unicorn so no one (hopefully) will get a headache in the process.

But of course, the very last reviewer might be exaggerating a little. She may also be hitting the truth button at the exact same time she decided to press the "write a review in the third person" button.

In this ever so "blandly blunt dissection" of a mini-review, <i>Dare to Dream</i> is essentially divided into two parts: the first part is before the apocalypse, and the second part is the aftermath. It is really just a book that has a main character with a broken family, cries often (well, she is fourteen), and finding her place in the world – all while receiving dreams of the end of the world in the same way nightly and finding out it's in connection to the demise of Stonehenge. Oh, and it is also a day by day play of events that feels more proper in a sleeptastic documentary.

Basically, it's just tales of family drama from a fourteen-year-old British schoolgirl. The whole apocalypse thing? It might as well be a subplot until you get to the second part, where the primary purpose is surviving it day by day. But the point is, middle school Sophia might like this better than high school senior Sophia, who actually likes the whole Stonehenge aspect.

Look, however belligerently cringe you want to make this is your business I guess... but don't you dare bring down 𝘍𝘭𝘢𝘴𝘩𝘥𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦 like that, too. Listless, rambly, laborious 2+ hour Google commercial which indirectly becomes a more terrifying tech-campus nightmare than 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘊𝘪𝘳𝘤𝘭𝘦 simply because of how punishing it is to sit through. I'm certainly not opposed to a Vaughn + Wilson (who have such natural chemistry that they could build a picket fence together and I'd still go to see it) comedy where their trademark bullshit artistry is forced to find a workaround to Google's ubiquity - but this is packed with such hateable characters, shit visuals, and groan-worthy non-jokes that it makes you wonder how the hell they somehow stretched a *generous* 30 minutes worth of material into a 125+ minute bore. I struggle to find a time where Owen Wilson was worse than he is here, and why is every iteration of this movie's poster the worst thing I've ever seen? I would have vastly preferred the film with Will Ferrell and Rob Riggle's characters (AKA - the only funny ones in the movie) instead.
