The Review The Mice Before Christmas: A Mouse House Tale of the Night Before Christmas by Anne L. Watson is a delightfully funny retelling of a classic, children's Christmas tale. I love a good retelling (intertext). They can be such a fun and goofy way to welcome an older story to a new generation. This… Continue reading The Mice Before Christmas by Anne L. Watson Book Review

Book Review There are few things I enjoy more in this world than a great book, and lucky for me The Raven by Kate Robbins is a fantastic book! I'm fortunate to have had the opportunity to connect with the author, Kate Robbins, and read her Spirits of the Norse book. This is one of… Continue reading The Raven by Kate Robbins – Book Review
Welcome to a world of middle-grade horror inspired by everyone's favourite animatronic pizza parlour. Five Nights at Freddy's is a staple in indie horror (and now mainstream horror as well), that of course they decided to open up their lore-filled world into the land of literature. We saw the introduction of FNAF into our YA… Continue reading Fazbear Frights #1: Into the Pit by Scott Cawthon Book Review
The Review I'm not gonna lie, it's been a hot minute since I picked up a book over 400 pages that wasn't a Harry Potter book. Not because I didn't want to read them, but my romance binge had a lot of shorter stories in it. But it was finally time to dip back into… Continue reading A Phantom’s Vengeance by Marco Mizzi Book Review
The Review Many years ago, Stacey Kade was an author I found refuge in. I was dealing with a lot in life - many hospital visits during my Dad's cancer treatments, high school (which alone is terrifying), my animals nearing old age, bullies, work, school, and all of the troubles of being a teenager trying… Continue reading For This Life Only by Stacey Kade – Book Review

I figured it deserved it's time to shine, so here is my quick review (flashback to my first reviews on… Continue reading #BookReview Finnish Nightmares by Karoliina Korhonen
The Review Suleikha Snyder is one of my favourite authors. It's an absolute guilty pleasure of mine to pick up one of her books, get a warm blanket and a cup of tea, and then just sit with my cats and read the day away. What can I say? I'm a sucker for a good… Continue reading Kick at the Darkness by Suleikha Snyder – Book Review
To say The Night Shift by Alex Finlay is good would be an understatement. This thrilling read has all the nostalgia with nights at Blockbuster and angsty teenagers. Then, you throw in the murder spree, the mystery and "who dun it?", the multiple points of view, and the twist ending I didn't see coming… It's… Continue reading The Night Shift by Alex Finlay – Book Review
Ezra Slef: The Next Nobel Laureate in Literature by Andrew Komarnyckyj is a wickedly smart novel. I'm going to be honest, the synopsis didn't give me a good idea of how this book was going to go. The level of comedy and intelligent sarcasm in this book is through the roof. The introduction alone was… Continue reading #BookReview Ezra Slef: The Next Nobel Laureate in Literature by Andrew Komarnyckyj
