Its an okay book. It's a slow burn until more than half way through and then it suddenly takes a turn into more action packed, yet as we reach the final chapters it begins to drag again. However, I went into this book on the blurb alone thinking it would be a creepy story at least, set around halloween which I thought would be perfect as halloween approaches. I thought that there would be more depth to the cunning man, but there just wasn't. Some characters were good I enjoyed Rick, Barbara, Tony and Julia but the rest of the characters for me were just meh. There were a few times throughout the book where you forget who is who or who is related to who / what connection they have with each other. Which is a pity and ultimately comes with a lot of chapter changes and characters in a short space of time. There was one death in particular that was a bit of a let down in the sense of its a shame that character died, the way that they did, as it was out if nowhere. I like the concept, but I think the ideas of the cunning man and the kids was a bit rushed the cunning man didn't really do much to be honest. I feel there was a spark missing from this book, though I can't quite place my finger on it. Overall its okay, it's not great. And did anyone else see a little typo of one of the characters in the last two pages? It made me laugh considering who the character was.

Great wrap up. Happy Autumn 🍁🧟🧛🦇👻💀🍁🍂🍄🎃☕📚

Gotta mention the first title in the first 60 seconds or I'm out.

👍💫🤗

👍

Honestly, this book sounds like a lot of fun lol I’ve been in the mood for something more light hearted… I may check it out! 😅

I’m waiting for you to tell me Clown in a Cornfield #8 is wonderful until I pick up any more than #1. 🤣🤣🤣 Block Island is next up on my list. 😊

❤❤❤❤❤ great review

What was that moment that scared you in the Reddening? Do you still remember? I just finished it yesterday and I loved it.

I was just wondering if you read Ghost Camera by Darcy Coates and what you thought about it

I grabbed this book after seeing your review of it. I'm about halfway through it & I absolutely love it so far. I bought a copy for my sister too because she's all about horror. I can't wait to see how it all comes together. Thanks for putting a review out for it

You should add THE VERMIN SLEEP to your fall TBR! I promise it’s worth your time! 🐀🔨🩸💀

Just finished…holy shit. Great review

Hi violet, just bought this book, can't wait to read ! Also bought Bunker Dogs and Mean Spirited, both by Gage Greenwood. They sound just as intriguing! Can't wait !!! ❤❤

Loved the review mate 😁👍

Dead of Winter was my first Darcy Coates book. I finished it today, and felt much the way you did. As soon as the first chapter came to an end I knew who the killer was, and all the misdirections just made it more concrete to me. If the rest of her novels are better I may give her a second try, but that book was a one star for me. Btw, it’s pronounced “Eye-Rah”

Just finished, loved it! Had a few holy shibby moments. It was a 4 star read for me.

I googled the lange blasse nebelwohner and nothing showed up. Do you have that link you found?

One of my readers sent me this video and I can’t tell you how much it made my day. This is a great review and I’m so happy you caught a lot of the vibes and themes I was aiming for. And you even looked up the monster’s name meaning! You’re awesome. To answer your question on Angela and Chrissy’s age, I was going for a few things there. In the few chapters where ages are mentioned it mostly comes from Jackson’s narrative, and I intentionally got wonky with all the kid’s ages (including a little in the chapter where Jackson remembers the camping trip) because I wanted to show that even before he became who he was, he never really KNEW his children. So he kind of gets it wrong just a little bit. Also, I wanted the ages to be a little amorphous because these poor kids never really got to be kids anyway. I also tried to showcase this with the dialogue, where sometimes they talk above their ages and sometimes turn into almost toddlers in their thinking. In one example, Angela makes a comment about kids her age should just be talking about vaping, which is kind of something an older person would say about “kids these days.” I wanted to show that she’s completely out of touch with her own age group because she’s never really had the chance to be one. Anyway, this review is just so amazing and it made my day. Thanks for your review. You absolutely rock.

Greetings from Poland!

This sounds terrific! Definitely adding to my TBR. 🙌

I'm so happy to hear you liked this so much! It was a 5-star read for me too, one of my favorite reading experiences of the year so far. The characters are just amazing, flawed and damaged and wonderful. And, like you say, I loved how no one is safe and just how relentless the story felt. And yet, it never got too heavy. Such a well crafted book, I'm so happy I found it.

❤❤❤❤❤ love this

3 stars. You’re so generous

Question! Don’t know if anyone can answer this, I was looking at twisted retreat subscription and noticed they had an option just to get the books, are the books in this subscription the same books as the box? As far as the designs?

Thanks for the review. I had stayed away from the first one because it was marketed as YA. But given your thoughts on it, I may have to reconsider. I'm 100% with you on authors' inserting themselves in their work and giving us their social or political commentary. That's what essays, editorial pieces, or blog articles are for. I prefer my horror devoid of that. Unfortunately, I'm finding that to be less and less the case, especially with releases coming from the US.

I've been a longtime viewer of your channel and truly enjoy your content-it's outstanding! I noticed that with some optimization to your video titles, descriptions, and tags, you could reach an even wider audience and boost engagement. I'd love to help you make these small enhancements that can lead to big results for your channel's growth

I loved your review! I just finished it, and it was so good and well written. I did experience a roller coaster of emotions as well. Five star read for me, too.

I agree with book 2 (not read 3 yet). Series can be hard going. The only trilogy I've enjoyed in the last few years was the Mina and the Undead trilogy (after seeing your review of book 1). Slayers was my favorite, and Cult was a really good ending. I think with it being set in the 90's it avoids all of the politics of today.

Do you use a noise canceling mic? I have the same issue with sirens and my ac when I’m streaming on twitch. The noise canceling mic is a game changer

Your reviews of Book #3 from both of those series reinforces my belief that sometimes a good book does not need a sequel or series. I loved the first Clown in a Cornfield and My Heart is a Chainsaw and probably won’t continue either series. Thank you for once again saving me precious hours of reading time. Have a wonderful vacation!

The first book was fun, I enjoyed it. I skipped the second book once I heard it was mostly today's politics, and I live today's politics so I don't want it in my horror fiction. I guess I shouldn't read the third if I didn't read the second. These covers are fantastic, though.

Love the A/C it is very relaxing. Enjoy your vacation!!!

❤❤❤❤ great video

I hate the 5 star rating system. A 3.5 sounds bad but would probably be a 7.5 or 8 if we used a 10-point scale which would be considered good.

I did not see the ending coming. Loved the book. I had to resist just sitting down and reading the whole book in one setting. Had me on the edge of my seat from page 1. The killers motivation was Revenge.

I’m curious to hear people’s thoughts on the lotion scent. At first it smelled like ludens cough drops but then that weird smell came in that reminds me of smelling like I just went swimming in Lake Michigan. Overall I was very happy with this month’s box.

In the authors note he says this is one of the most importants novels he has ever wrotten because of his own fears of an alien invasion. He also explains why Karl is how he is. He portrays how most humans would be in that position. In reality it wouldn't matter who you were, in that situation you would be fucked up. And I think he did that very well with karl😂 What did you think about the black horrors and the sculptures they built with humans hanging? Sorry for my bad english 😅

It's my first box, and I'm already loving it! I'm also glad I'm not the only one who had issues opening the lotion. 😅

So glad I found you 😊. I’m not into bloody gorey books, just spooky fun, and interesting mysteries along with fantasy. Your reviews are really helping me decide which books to read. I understand about being unhappy with the ending of books when you loved the beginning. That has happened to me me twice in a row lately, and at times in the past. Thank you for the review 😊

❤❤❤❤❤ great review

In my TBR pile. Looking forward to it.

Can't wait to hear your opinion on "On a clear day..."! I loved that book, it was one of my favorite reads of the year. Wonderful characters, and the whole story just really resonated with me, it felt so sad and melancholy, it was a very exciting and emotional ride to be on. I truly disliked "Stolen Tongues", though... So many people seem to love it, but I found it repetitive and quite boring. And it has one of my least favorite tropes in there, I don't wanna spoil anything though, so I'm not gonna go into that. :) But I look forward to hearing your opinions on that one too, maybe it will work for you.

What a terrific book! Your comments are spot on! Thanks for a great review.

The thing I love about this book is that it isn't really part of that "religious horror" genre. Thinking on it the basic plot is... a husband allows his wife to be raped to have a kid in order to further hus own fortunes. In the book, it's Satan doing the rape but that could be removed and replaced with something more mundane (say a mafiodo head) and the horror remains. The horror is about using a woman as a thing rather than a person. As an incubator rather than a person. If anything this book has more in common sith "the strpfird wives" than "the exircust" since it falls much closer to the feminine women's lib themed horror than the religious catholic horror.

I just got Horror Movie :\ now I feel unmotivated to read it

I would be very interested to hear your thoughts about Stolen Tongues…. I heard so much hype about it and when I read it I was …… underwhelmed.

RE: The Exorcist --Understanding your pov, I won't recommend it for anyone but I loved how it read to me as what can happen when you lose faith.

I am a book only subscriber so I am hoping they got a few extra pizza cutters because I want that . They did say they ordered extra copies of the 2nd book so I will be getting that one for sure. I just love these special editions

I have just started Ghost Stories of Henry James
