Review: THE NIGHTMARE ROOM: LOCKER 13 by R.L. Stine

 


It’s Luke’s first day of Jr. High and he gets assigned Locker 13. This one is a little slow with all the basketball and swimming stuff. For a while, Luke gets weird dreams about Locker 13. Luke’s luck seems to turn around when he finds his friends good luck charm, turning his friend’s luck bad. And the luck turns REALLY BAD for her. All because of a little skull. It seemed that more emphasis was placed on the skull with the glowing red eyes. How does the locker tie in? Of course, the story of the good luck charm was interesting. Who wouldn’t want good luck? But what happens when the good luck runs out? It’s still a good horror story. It was pretty scary when the Fate Master shows up demanding that the good luck be paid. A good read!

Review: THE NIGHTMARE ROOM: MY NAME IS EVIL by R.L. Stine

 


Maggie’s horror began with a fortune teller’s reading indicating that she will bring evil. What evil? Soon, bad things start to happen. A lot of freaky accidents happen. Was Maggie causing all this destruction? Did she have freaky powers? I’d be freaked out too if I were Maggie.

“Overnight, I’ve become an outcast. A freak.”

It was amazing how out of control it got in the lunchroom and the pet fair. What could Maggie do if she was evil? A good scary read!

Blog Tour: GREED by Kay Maree

 


Some desires can't be satisfied... only claimed.


Greed

7 Deadly Sins MC #4

by Kay Maree

Genre: Dark MC Romance



PAYTON
Greed – Defined by the dictionary as an excessive and insatiable desire for more wealth, power, or possessions than one needs.
I’m not the type of girl who wants or needs all that.
The only thing I am greedy for is my freedom.
Freedom to live.
Freedom to be free.
But...
Darkness is my burden.
It clings to me daily, trying to drag me down into its cold clutches.
I do my best to fight its pull, but sometimes surrendering to its power is more alluring than living in fear.
Pain = Love Bear or Man?
Being with another man scared me more than the darkness chasing me, but then I met him...
He knocked down all my carefully constructed walls...
He unlocked all my dark fantasies I had kept hidden for so long, and he savoured every single one, stoking the fire to a crescendo that living without him now wasn’t an option.
Jag was my Dark Broken Angel...
The man who brought me back to life.



JAG
Payton came waltzing into my life with a broken smile that drew me in.
Had me craving things I had blocked out years ago.
In her mind, Love = Pain, and I was on a mission to prove her wrong at every turn, even if that meant watching her from the shadows until she was ready for me...
Us.
One sheltered look lured me in.
One kiss brought me back to life.
All her dark fantasies she locked away, afraid to set free, were now mine.
Payton is my imperfect, perfect sin...

Review: SNOW SHORTS: A STRANGER CALLS by Nicole Givens Kurtz

Laura Snow (mother of Abraham, Douglas, and Samantha) is enjoying her life. A free spirit, Laura follows her bliss. The journey leads her to Taos, New Mexico where she has created a life for herself away from the dangers her family often finds themselves facing. Or so she thought. Laura is concerned when she starts receiving threatening phone calls and texts. A mysterious someone is stalking her and the threats are escalating. When official channels fail, Laura falls back on old skills she learned years ago from her father-in-law, Archer Snow to protect herself against a dangerous foe who wants her dead. A Stranger Calls is the 3rd book in the Snow Shorts series.




Review: It all started with a threatening note and a strange caller. At 57-years-old, Laura Snow was being stalked. But who and why? How scary was that? It was even scarier when your dog was home alone.

We follow along with Laura’s fears and worry over this stalker. The battle in the end was pretty fierce. You hurt my dog and you die! Why must the dog get hurt in a story? A nice short story!
