Slow Bleed by Tim Adler
3.5
Book review - Slow Bleed: A Medical Thriller
A medical thriller that would keep one riveted with an urgency of pace, packed with deception, lies, and unexpected twists. Flaws and all, this book would still be an entertaining read.
Ultimately, Slow Bleed is a fast-paced, adrenaline-fueled read that blends mystery, betrayal, and medical intrigue. While it doesn’t break new ground and suffers from some predictability, the twists and emotional stakes make it worth a read for fans of the genre. If you’re looking for a thriller with a mix of high-stakes drama and medical suspense, this one might be worth picking

It Lurks by Daniel Dean
4.0
Book Review: It Lurks by @danieldeanauthor
❄️ A snowstorm. A cabin. A nightmare that bends reality. It Lurks by Daniel Dean is the kind of horror story that creeps under your skin like an icy wind—quiet at first, then relentless. What starts as a simple drive home after a tense Christmas gathering turns into a surreal and claustrophobic descent into terror, where time, space, and logic begin to unravel.
With its eerie snowbound setting, psychological twists, and an unsettling take on holiday horror, It Lurks is the perfect fireside read—if you don’t mind a few sleepless nights. Oh, and after this? You’ll never look at snowmen the same way again.
Final Verdict: A bone-chilling, mind-bending horror novella that turns a winter wonderland into a nightmare. 4/5 ⭐
