Abigail wants to read

 3.75/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Jade is obsessed with slasher movies. And when tourists in her town start to go missing she is convinced that her town is about to be the setting for one. I expected to like this book a lot more than I did. I thought it would be more slashery than it was but it was more just a book about a girl who loved slashers than a slasher book. I was almost bored until about page 300 hundred where it started to get exciting and I really enjoyed the last couple of chapters and was on the edge of my seat reading it. I just wished it didn't take so long to get interesting. 

 Halloween is just around the corner and what better way to celebrate than some creature filled books 1) Dracula by Bram Stoker When Jonathan Harker visits Transylvania to help Count Dracula with the purchase of a London house, he makes a series of horrific discoveries about his client. Soon afterwards, various bizarre incidents unfold in England: an apparently unmanned ship is wrecked off the coast of Whitby; a young woman discovers strange puncture marks on her neck, and the inmate of a lunatic asylum raves about the 'Master' and his imminent arrival. 2) Wranglestone by Darren Charleton Peter has never really felt at home in a place where practicality and grit are valued above all else. He’s nothing like Cooper - the boy he’s always watched from afar. But when he is ordered to join Cooper on the mainland, they find more than just each other. There they unearth a dark secret about Wranglestone’s past. One that forces the pair to question everything they’ve ever known. 3) Inter

 2/5 Stars Mara, Sadie, and Hannah are friends first, scientists always. Though their fields of study might take them to different corners of the world, they can all agree on this universal truth: when it comes to love and science, opposites attract and rivals make you burn. Hannah's got a bad feeling about this. Not only has the NASA aerospace engineer found herself injured and stranded at a remote Arctic research station-but the one person willing to undertake the hazardous rescue mission is her longtime rival. This may be an unpopular opinion but honestly, if you've read one Ali Hazelwood book you've read them all. So far I have read 4 out of 5 of her books and they all seem to be exactly the same. There doesn't seem to be much that separates them from each other except for the type of science they work in, and the main romance trope and you can't build a book on one trope. In this novella in particular there is nothing new or fresh that separates itself from the

 1/5 Stars You have been selected to attend Zodiac Academy, where your star sign defines your destiny. If you're one of the  Fae , elemental magic is in your blood. And apparently it's in ours. As twins born in the month of Gemini, we're a rare breed even in this  academy of supernatural a-holes. Changelings were outlawed hundreds of years ago, but our birth parents didn't get the memo. Which means we're totally unprepared for the ruthless world of  Fae . I want to preface this review by saying that while I went into this booking knowing it won't be my next favourite book, I did expect to like it a little bit. However, there was nothing in this book I enjoyed. I hated the main characters, they were annoying and I rolled my eyes on almost every other page.  Also, the romances were awful, I wasn't sure at the start who the love interests would be but the choices were a guy who continuously assaults one of them, a guy who bullies them and a professor. None of t

 Spooky reads for the spooky season 1) House of Hollow by Krystal Sutherland Iris Hollow and her two older sisters are unquestionably strange. Ever since they disappeared on a suburban street in Scotland as children only to return a month later with no memory of what happened to them, odd, eerie occurrences seem to follow in their wake. And they're changing. First, their dark hair turned white. Then, their blue eyes slowly turned black. They have insatiable appetites yet never gain weight. People find them disturbingly intoxicating, unbearably beautiful, and inexplicably dangerous. 2) Say Her Name by Juno Dawson Roberta 'Bobbie' Rowe is not the kind of person who believes in ghosts. A Halloween dare at her ridiculously spooky boarding school is no big deal, especially when her best friend Naya and cute local boy Caine agree to join in too. They are ordered to summon the legendary ghost of 'Bloody Mary': say her name five times in front of a candlelit mirror, and she

 5/5 Stars Chanel Miller's story changed our world forever. In 2016 Brock Turner was sentenced to just six months in jail after he was caught sexually assaulting her on Stanford's campus. His light sentencing, and Chanel's victim impact statement, which was read by eleven million people in four days, sparked international outrage and action. This book was absolutely heartbreaking but hopeful. Chanel Miller is a fantastic writer and I was at a loss for words when I finished it that I couldn't even think of what to write for my review except that it was an excellent and essential read. This book should be one that everyone needs to read and if you don't have this on your TBR, you need to add it.

 Thank you to Netgalley for the Earc in Exchange for an honest review 45 Stars To save those closest to her, Simi traded away everything: her freedom, her family, and the boy she loves. Now she is sworn to serve a new god, watching over the Land of the Dead at the bottom of the ocean. But when signs of demons begin to appear, it’s clear there are deeper consequences of Simi’s trade. These demons spell the world’s ruin . . . and because of Simi, they now have a way into the human realm. With the fate of the world at stake, Simi must break her promise and team up with a scheming trickster of a god. And if they succeed, perhaps Simi can also unbreak her heart along the way, and find herself again. I read the first one earlier this year and I had to get the second one after the ending of the first one. And while I have some issues with the first one in terms of pace, this one didn't have any of the problems that I had and I enjoyed it so much more.  I still love Simi so much and while

 I was supposed to post this last week but never mind. Here's my October  TBR 1) My Heart is a Chainsaw by Stephen Graham Jones Jade Daniels is an angry, half-Indian outcast with an abusive father, an absent mother, and an entire town that wants nothing to do with her. She lives in her own world, a world in which protection comes from an unusual source: horror movies… especially  the ones where a masked killer seeks revenge on a world that wronged them. And Jade narrates the quirky history of Proofrock as if it is one of those movies. But when blood  actually  starts to spill into the waters of Indian Lake, she pulls us into her dizzying, encyclopaedic  mind of blood and masked murderers, and predicts exactly how the plot will unfold. 2) Witches: James I and the English Witch hunts by Tracy Borman Witches traces the dramatic events which unfolded at one of England’s oldest and most spectacular castles four hundred years ago. The case is among those which constitute the European wit
