Mall Walkers: The Day Shopping Died by Sean Thomas Fisher
4.0
This author is perfect for quick and fun reading. I absolutely love the old school niche and B-Rated horror movie feels. It is everything lol. Brings back the mall rat days but with a creepy twist. Perfect Spooktober read.

Not really much to say about this one. I didn't love it but I also didn't hate it. It read like a young adult novel, but it is definitely made for adults with the scenes that are in this one. Overall though, it was just an okay read.

There is a reason this author is one of my favorites. His writing is so flawless and makes reading a delight.
Have you ever wondered what goes on in your neighborhood at night? When doors close and people settle in for the night. When the world becomes a mysterious place, and all sorts of weird and odd happenings commence. In the morning there are remnants of things gone by which tickle the imagination and neighbor nosiness.
I love how quirky the two main characters are and how their friendship just...is. You have to read this to understand what I mean by that. I want a neighbor like this LOL. Big Dave is eccentric and he's loveable and frustrating at the same time. I get major Kramer vibes from him and I LOVED it. His counterpart, Seff, is a writer and is more logical and rational in his behavior. It makes for an interesting and fun dynamic.
The little mysteries that surround their neighborhood gave me pause and had me wondering what goes on around me at night. This was the most enjoyable part for me and added so much to the book overall.
I absolutely love the format with the different stories that surround and connect the main one with Big Dave and Seff. It flowed well and made for a fast read.
Keep an eye out for this one. It releases on March 4, 2025 and is well worth the snag. I sincerely appreciate Scott Semegran for the review copy. All opinions expressed are my own.

Bless Your Heart by Lindy Ryan
fast-paced
4.0
What an absolutely charming and fun read! Absolutely perfect for Spooktober, especially for people who don't like gory but want a little bit of spooky.
Bless Your Heart is well-written and the characters are great too. I love when multiple POVs are done as seamlessly as this is. It makes for an easy read, one that I finished in two days.
I didn't realize this would be a series when I received this one, and I am excited for it. Give me more of the Evans women! Thank you Minotaur Books for the review copy. All opinions expressed are my own.

I love little stories like this. Perfectly snack sized and a great start for the morning.
In A Dark Mirror by Kat Davis

4.0
This wasn't quite what I expected, but that isn't a bad thing. In a Dark Mirror is more psychological than anything else and I really enjoyed it.
Maddie and Lana are very interesting characters, both loveable and yet not. They definitely give mixed feelings but the author does well with that. I'm also a lover of mixed POVs and the way this switches back and forth was perfect for me and flowed well.
Definitely a good Spooktober read, especially for those who don't like scary but like a little creepy and eerie. I sincerely appreciate Lavender Public Relations and the author for the review copy. All opinions expressed are my own.

The Wenamak Web by Marie Howalt

Man oh man does this crew know how to find trouble 😂. What should be a simple job turns into straight chaos and a surprise reunion. This was the perfect way to start my day...coffee in one hand and kindle in the other.
I just love the dynamic between Richard, Eddie and Alannah. They are all so different but together they just work. Action. Adventure. Sci-Fi and Danger. What a fun read.
Thank you to the author for sharing this one with me. I can't wait to see what shenanigans await in the next installment.

The Omen of Destruction by D.K. Hansen

The Omen of Destruction is an action-packed journey as we follow Jarren, Ameida and Sepheus on their quest to stop the Flares and rid the world of the Rot. Tensions are high between the trio as they are each from different factions and trust is hard. I liked this aspect of the story as well as the growth we see between them. It added a lot to the overall journey for me.
The adventures Jarren and his team go through, both individually and together, is well done and I especially love how it all came to a head at the end. I am looking forward to continuing the series, especially with the cliffhanger at the end of this one.

Dollar Signs by Manning Wolfe

I've read other books by this author and enjoyed them so was excited to start a new series with a female lead. While, for the most part, I liked Merit she was also annoying. I could have done without her "cougar" references, and for me they didn't add anything to the story.
I did enjoy the legal aspects of this one but it didn't give me the thrill I was looking for. At times it felt like I was reading a textbook as it went into a lot of detail. I skipped over a lot of that.
The story itself was interesting and I liked the splashes of drama and danger that were thrown in. Overall, not a bad read but wasn't a favorite for me either.

You've Got The Wrong Guy by Michael Jaymes
fast-paced
4.0
This was a quick and enjoyable read. The story starts a tad slow, but picks up pretty quickly. The slower start is necessary to lay the groundwork for the adventures to come, so that didn't take any enjoyment away as a whole.
While a tad predictable and unbelievable in spots, this still made for a fun mystery with some thrills and chills thrown in. I haven't read a mystery before with the use of post-it notes as a means of communicating, and actually liked this part.
CJ is frustrating and loveable. I wanted to hug and smack him at the same time LOL. Also enjoyed his brother and hodgepodge crew. Together they mesh well.
All-in-all, this is a good one for those who like a mystery with a little razzle dazzle thrown in. The ending goes fast and the pages go flying by. Short chapters make this one easy to get lost in. This releases on August 1, 2024. Mark those calendars and enjoy the ride.
