Ride By Rena Marin Genre: Occult Horror
They didn’t know the darkness Daniel kept buried inside. They only saw him as their driver. They wouldn’t understand the hunger he fought to control. They could never comprehend the things he was capable of. But one by one they were going to learn. He had money to make and the next fare was waiting. Marin is a fantastic writer! Ride is definitely my new favorite by her. This was super easy to read and I was totally engrossed in it. This book was dark, demented, and mind blowing. If I could give this more than 5 stars I definitely would.

His descriptive nature will leave you feeling like you have front row seats. From the cobbled streets to the flickering streetlamps, meeting Ladislaus and learning the family secrets.

You won't find candy, cake or other sweets in this book. What you will find is a dark twist on a classic tale! This was a page turner for me that had me reading even faster towards the end. If you're looking for a quick read that will keep you engaged from the first page to the last give this one a try.
Whoops! I Woke the Dead By Joseph Rubas Genre: Horror Comedy Alex Warner was just your average sixteen-year-old gal – wait, no she wasn’t. Alex Warner was the coolest person to ever live. She had a hot, dorky boyfriend, a nerdy little sister who was actually her cousin, and a book – a really gnarly old book made from human skin. But you see, that’s right up Alex’s alley, because not only is she completely awesome, with her job at Pissy’s Pizza, her volunteer work at the library, and her VSCO friend who gives everyone scrunchies, but she also loves Halloween. And this book is perfect for this year’s witch costume. Only…it’s not a costume book, and when she reads it aloud in the graveyard…
Whoops I Woke the Dead
…sorry. I really enjoyed this book. It’s not your average zombie story but it is worth a read and a few laughs. I was engaged from beginning to end. The book is entertaining, and it is wonderfully written. Rubas displays genuine talent and a vivid imagination and I look forward to reading more of his work in the future.
