My second Freida McFadden novel in as many months was much like the last one. The story is fun and intriguing, as it starts out with a woman confessing to murdering a man, but we don’t get his name. Moving forward, we learn of a sociopathic teenager named Liam, who has had more than his fair share of creepy and disturbing moments throughout his young life. I wasn’t a fan of the repeated mentions of animal torture, but it did add a level of creepy. I did figure out the twist several chapters before it happened, but it was still well told, and some of the other revelations caught me off guard. Recommend for fans of McFadden’s other works.

In what could be called “A Critters Christmas Special,” author E Reyes delivers a holiday horror feast involving little furry monsters that were supposed to be the most popular toy of the holiday season. Instead, these things all come to life while inside a department store and terrorize both customers and employees alike. These vicious little monsters are relentless, and their constant “Hungry!” cries only make them more terrifying. The author does a good job describing the carnage, as you can really picture what is going on in the store. Some of the dialogue seemed a little out of place, but if you want a quick holiday horror tale filled with blood and monsters, give it a try.

The final chapter of the Emily Ellis Thriller series takes us back into the heart of an artistic cult in which the lead (Mills) has found herself brainwashed and a willing participant after her kidnapping at the end of the initial book in the series. Oddly enough, though, Mills is not the true lead in this novel, as the whole book revolves around her friends trying to rescue her from this bizarre cult in which people are being put into an incinerator and used as art materials (YIKES!) all for the acceptance of some higher power. In reality, the love interest (Stark) seems to get top billing, as he has infiltrated the cult and is trying to find Mills and break her out. This final book in this trilogy is far different from the original serial killer story, as the original killer is long gone by this point and a new antagonist (the Dignitary) has taken center stage. But it does give the reader a satisfying conclusion to Mills and her survival of not only her initial captor who put her in this mess, but the Dignitary as well. My favorite of the trilogy remains the original (Paint By Murders), but this entire series is worth a read if you love a well told thriller.

My first attempt at a Freida McFadden book revolves around a surgeon (Nora Davis) with a shady family history that she is trying to hide - her father is a notorious serial killer who murdered women and cut off their hands. While he is serving life in prison, murders using the same M.O. begin, and all are closely tied to Nora. The novel is intense with a strong plot, although I was not much of a fan of Nora. True, she is struggling to keep this big secret, but her personality leaves something to be desired. And the fact that she can’t put the easy puzzle pieces together (that she is a target) regarding the new murders was somewhat annoying. The story did pick up steam near the end, and the twist was not what I’d expected. Decent ending with a clear opening for another story.

Slow start but picked up by the middle. The twists and teases were fun, and the story really took off as more information was discovered.

My second read by Simone St. James was as thrilling as the first one (The Sun Down Motel). A couple on their honeymoon get lost at night and end up on a dark, spooky road. They find a young girl just sitting on the side of the road, but when they take her in, they discover she has been stabbed multiple times. From there, the couple learns more than they bargained for as it relates to this ominous road and the people who live nearby. While chilling from the start, the novel does drag in places, and the stereotypical “bad cop” routine given off by all of the state cops started getting tiresome after a while. But with a surprise twist at the end, the novel leaves no stone unturned as the stories behind the mysterious happenings are eventually revealed.
