Let Him in by William Friend
Did not finish book. Stopped at 10%.
Did not finish book. Stopped at 10%.
I'l start by saying how captivating the cover of this
book is. It is what drew me in and the blurb sealed the
deal. A creepy gothic literary about twin girls struggling
With the grief of losing their mother and suddenly start
talking about a strange man in their room. A man who
later becomes their new imaginary friend called 'Black
Mamba.' sounds great! But, unfortunately, it just didn't hit
the mark for me. The story became slow and repetitive
and while I agree that the different variations of grief
were written well for each character, I didn't find myself
caring about any of them enough to keep me invested
It wasn't unnerving or as scary as anticipated and
ultimately I DNF this one.
Thank you to Poisoned Pen Press and NetGalley for
access to the eARC of Let me In. Available now
**also released as Black Mamba in 2022**

Looking for a holiday themed slasher to get your blood pumping?
ALL I WANT is a short (58 pages) holiday horror that takes place at a high school reunion where the bullies get what's coming to them in the most satisfying way.
Keen? You can grab this one from Kindle Unlimited.
Also, this TW made me cackle:
"Violence, gore, adult language, drug use, shallow characters being murdered"

Candy Cain Kills by Brian McAuley

4.0
If you're in the mood for some holiday horror, Candy Cain Kills is a treat.
📖 From the burb:
When Austin’s parents drag him and his little sister Fiona to a remote cottage for Christmas, he’s less than thrilled about the forced bonding exercise. But after learning that their holiday getaway was the site of a horrific crime, this family on the rocks will have to fight for their lives against a legendary killer… because Candy Cain is slashing through the snow with a very long naughty list.
ðŸ’The title of this was perfectly chosen with its connection to the story of Cain (Candice) and Abel (Abby). Of course, candy canes also play a role and together make for a ho-ho-horiffic Christmas Eve. 😂 Sorry, I couldn't help it.
It's a fast and graphic sleigh ride with a tragic backstory, making it the perfect palate cleanser between holiday reads for all my twisted friends 🎅
