Review: THE OTHER WOMAN by NL Hinkens

 


Who was the other woman that walked out of her husband’s office after hours? The even more shocking part was finding the other woman’s dead body in her husband’s car. Did her husband kill her? This leads the wife on a frenzy and paranoid journey of speculation and doubt. Was her husband a murderer?

 

This soon unravels a tangled web of deceit and treachery, which was truly gripping. Bridgett’s life and family were suddenly turned upside down in this twisted puzzle of a mystery.

 

“In the span of a couple of days, she’d gone from a law-abiding citizen to the wife of a fugitive and the mother of a criminal.”

 

Another great read by NL Hinkens!

Review: SUSPECTS AND SURPRISES by Cindy Bell

 


A murder at Dune House. A man fell off a balcony. The girls knew that he was pushed. But how could they prove it when it looked so much like an accident? And could the death be connected to a stolen antique book? Another great mystery! A little predictable in one area, but a good read!

Review: GOOSEBUMPS: THE BARKING GHOST by R.L. Stine

 


There was something weird about the new house Cooper moved into. It made all kinds of noises. The most frightening was the sound of the barking dog right outside his window. What kind of dogs were there one minute and gone the next? Ghost dogs!

 

But what if these ghost dogs weren’t exactly as they appeared?

 

A howling and creepy tale!

Review: GOOSEBUMPS: HELP! WE HAVE STRANGE POWERS by R.L. Stine

 


The slow start on the story relayed the twins’ miserable mall outing. Then they saw it: Madame Doome’s fortune teller booth.

 

“Welcome to Horrorland,” said the card.

 

Weird. What was even weirder was that the next morning, the twins woke up with superpowers. Jill could read minds and Jackson had telekinetic powers. Okay, how cool was that! Yeah, it was cool until they get kidnapped by a mad scientist who wanted to test their brain like lab rats. Uh oh!

 

This book gives a double treat with a 2nd story with the twins in Horrorland. At Horrorland, Jackson and Jill hope to learn more about their new powers. They didn’t expect to run into their old nemesis. Can they escape Horrorland?

 

Two fun reads by the great Master of Horror!
