The Haunting of Ashburn House by Darcy Coates

3.5

This wasn’t my favourite novel from Coates, but it was an easy and quick haunted house story that I flew through on vacation.

Thank you to NetGalley, Shari Lapena and Penguin Random House Canada for the free ebook in exchange for an honest review.  

This is easily one of my new favourite Lapena novels. It’s a great twisty novel that has me turning pages as quickly as I could. I never saw the ending coming, but it was perfect and tied it altogether wonderfully. Definitely recommend.

Thank you to NetGalley, Jessa Maxwell and Atria books for the free ebook in exchange for an honest review. 

What a great premise for a novel! I loved the dear Constance letters and I was constantly wondering what was happening or who the letters were from. This was really compelling read and I can see why so many people are loving it.

Thank you to NetGalley, Karin Slaughter and William Morrow for the free ebook in exchange for an honest review. 

This was quite long, but it doesn’t feel that way as you’re reading it. I loved this locked room type version of Will Trent and Sara. One of my favourite for sure. I definitely recommend. So many good twists and quick paced novel.

This wasn’t what I was expecting either; which keeps happening to me, but it was pleasant surprise. This was a quick and compelling read. I love the fire chapters as it really added an intense pressure that we know about that the characters don’t.

Thank you to NetGalley, Paul Tremblay and William Morrow for the free ebook in exchange for an honest review. 

I had quite high expectations for this one and unfortunately for me, it fell short. I found the way it was formatted was difficult to read on kindle and I just didn’t connect with the characters. I liked the ending but that’s about it. It’s not a bad book, just too difficult for me to follow.

Thank you to Libro.FM for my audio copy!

This was interesting to say the least; I found I was interesting and kept wondering what possibly could have happened. It took a long time to get to the answers but that’s normal. I was shocked by the ending. Couldn’t believe it and loved it.

Thank you to NetGalley, Sarah Pekkanen and St Martin’s Press for the free ebook in exchange for an honest review. 

So addicting. I read this so fast and I did not want to put it down. It’s a really fast paced and interesting read that I thought was totally going in another direction. I think this may be my favourite book by this author.

Thank you to NetGalley, Vincent Ralph and St Martin’s Press for the free ebook in exchange for an honest review. 

Interesting concept but it took too long for me personally to get to the good parts and the twisty bits. I loved the last 15% of the book but I was starting to wonder if there was even going to be a twist. 
A Friend in the Dark by Samantha M. Bailey

Another short but anything but sweet thriller from Bailey. I found myself sighing at the main characters decisions, but it was fast paced and so twisty.
