Rouge
I LOVED Mona Awad’s Bunny. It was one of the weirdest, fever dream inducing books I’ve ever read. I had such high hopes for Rouge and I’m not sure it really did it for me. This modern gothic loose retelling of Snow White, has everything in it. Cults, a magic mirror, roses, magic, confusion, desires,…

House of Hollow
House of Hollow is one of those books that once it sinks it’s teeth in you, you cannot stop reading. Which is exactly how I came to binge this book in an afternoon when I should have been doing far more productive things. This is also one of those books that makes me question the…
The Lost Village
I’m not huge into scary movies, so I’ve never seen The Blair Witch project. But when it comes to scary stories, I do love horror books with copious amounts of suspense! Alice is determined to make it in the film world. In an attempt to make her name in the documentary world, she’s gone in…
