  • Return of the Spider

    Book 34 of the Alex Cross series. This one is more of a prequel of sorts. We follow the early career of Gary Soneji. It is everything you expect from the rookie Alex Cross and John Sampson. If you enjoyed the arc with this villain, introduced in Along Came a Spider then you’ll love his…

  • Vampire Breath

    Book 49 of the Goosebumps series. As you guessed it this one is very much a vampire book. The twist in the end was a little expected but hit fine. The overall story is just about the kids wanting to get back home. Loyalty from an enemy and betrayal from a friend which makes this…

  • Revenge of the Lawn Gnomes

    Book 34 of the Goosebumps series. What do you do when crazy things begin to happen and you’re the only one who knows? Well of course you become the number one suspect. Not to worry though, with help from your sister and friend you might just survive. Enjoy this fun little tale about mischievous lawn…

  • Night of the Living Dummy 2

    This is book 31 of the Goosebumps series. Our favorite indestructible psycho dummy is back looking for another slave. This concept is the dark side of Toy Story when you know the toy is alive but no one else does and anytime he is about to get caught he can just play not real. The…

  • Be Careful What You Wish For

    Book 12 of Goosebumps. This is your twist on the standard genie with the three wishes. Overall it was pretty straightforward with wishes gone wrong and a mild twist at the end. This one is not scary and would be appropriate for even non-horror readers. Or even for those struggling to fit in in middle…

  • Return of the Mummy

    Book 23 of the Goosebumps series. This time it is back to Egypt in a part 2 to The Curse of the Mummy (book 5). This one is just as supernatural and refers back to the first story, not that you’d have to read that one first but it would help. I liked the tie…

  • You Can’t Scare Me

    This was a fun one talking about revenge and mud monsters. Three tries to scare Courtney and well you’ll have to read how it goes. I am a little surprised at the ending as they are usually a bit creepier but it was a good ending anyway.

  • CivCEO

    Book 1 and I loved the concept on this one. One of the best parts of this was the alternate view of LitRPG, going at it from a pure business perspective verses battle based. Overall, I liked the character development and progression of the building. I am excited to see how it moves forward from…

  • Why I Am Afraid of Bees

    Book 17 of the Goosebumps series. This is a milder version of The Fly but a similar concept. It has a good ending and isn’t as much horror as Freaky Friday type vibe. A fun short story with an RL Stine twist at the very end.

  • Welcome to Camp Nightmare

    Goosebumps book 9. This one takes us to an unusual summer camp. It has a nice twist and is spooky in the in between. I like the false clues as you follow along with Billy trying to figure out what is going on and what is happening to the campers that keep disappearing. Over a…
