Synopsis: WHEN THINGS GO BUMP IN THE NIGHT

When Zelda Shaye inherits the infamous Sazerac House, she immediately senses that something’s not right about the ancient mansion. Strange noises interrupt her sleep, the garbage disposal hates her father, and things move on their own. Her cute nerdy neighbor, Tobe Friedkin, confirms her suspicions when he tells her everyone knows the house is haunted and over the years members of the Sazerac family have suffered mysterious deaths until they were nearly wiped out.

Zelda is the last female descendant to inherit the legacy, and the family curse. Since her parents don't believe her, it’s up to her and Tobe, with the help of the crazy recluse down the street, and a cat named DeLorean, to lay the unquiet spirit to rest before it’s too late.

My rating: ★★★☆☆

Horror romance is a genre that sounds amazing to me. And while I enjoyed the first book in this series, I feel like I enjoyed this one less 😬 I felt like in His Final Girl, the romance and horror was better balanced, but the cheesy romance in this one sort of overtook things 😅 But that could just be a me issue though. Lol.

Synopsis: Everyone thinks she killed her teacher

Intense, competitive, Lily Bancroft had good reasons to hate him. She lives to win, and he was about to destroy her dreams. But murder? That was going too far, even for someone as driven as Lily.

She's innocent. But that hasn't stopped the whispers behind her back. Or the weird phone calls late at night. Then someone else is brutally murdered and suddenly Lily is drawn into a nightmare she can't begin to control. Will her final grade be her last?

My rating: ★★★☆☆

I’m number one. I’ll be valedictorian.
Once, this fact would have made her jump for joy. Now she felt only emptiness and a dull fear.

This book was something else. Lily absolutely loses it when a teacher gives her a bad grade, and when that same teacher is then found dead later, guess who’s the main suspect? Yup. Although, to be fair, the teacher was kind of a jerk. Did he deserve to be killed? Probably not. But still. Lol.

Spooky TBR


It's Spooky Season which means it is time for the spooky reads! Although to be fair, I read spooky books year round 😂 I'm obviously not gonna get through all of these books, especially not with my finicky mood that changes all the time, but these books are the ones that are currently on my radar! I've got a little bit of everything!
