#ExtremeHorror #Review – Cravings: An Extreme Horror Novelette by D E McCluskey

Leave a comment

Sarah Todd is pregnant.

She doesn’t believe in cravings, and is determined to live the next seven months giving her baby all they nutrients it needs to grow into a healthy boy, or girl.

The baby, however, has other plans.

How far is she willing to go to succumb to her… CRAVINGS?

From the dark mind of D E McCluskey, author of CRACK, The Twelve, and The Contract, comes this extremely disturbing novelette.

The baby must have what the baby needs…

So I’ve read Zola by this author and that one was fun and gross but this book? Absolutely vile and disgusting and I loved every second of it.

I had no idea what to expect when I picked up this book and I’m so glad I went in blind. With the title being Cravings and also that it’s an extreme horror, I expected something unhinged but not quite what I read.

Sarah is pregnant and doesn’t believe in cravings. Thinks it’s all in your head and stuff. Until she starts craving something and the rest is history.

This book was so gross and I’m super glad I have a strong stomach. I remember thinking near the end “what the heck made the author come up with this?”

If you’re squeamish or don’t like mention of bodily fluids, you may want to pass on this. If you’re good with that stuff? Then have fun but don’t say I didn’t warn you.

5 stars for weird

5 stars for gross

5 stars for being unique

#Review #ExtremeHorror – The Found Bag of Doom: Extreme Horror (Boss Universe (Dark Web)) by Sea Caummisar

Leave a comment

Stress is piling up in Blake’s life.
A sick kid, a mountain of debt, and lack of sleep is life’s way of beating him down.
When he finds a bag full of money, he thinks all of his problems are solved.
He’s wrong. Very wrong.

Note from the author : This is extreme horror. I do not want to add any triggers. I feel like the triggers would give away the ending. The first 3/4 of the story is mild violence. The last 1/4 of the story is so vile that the author is ALMOST disgusted with herself. This is not a gimmick. This story is intended for extreme horror lovers. I will add that there is zero animal abuse in this story.

I kept seeing this book around and finally got a chance to read it. I’ve only read one other book by Sea and that was…interesting. But as a fan of extreme horror, I was excited to give this one a shot! Especially if it involves dark web stuff.

So we meet Blake who is having a difficult time. He has a sick child at home and endless hospital bills. He’s exhausted. And then he finds a bag filled with cash. I honestly don’t know what I would do if I stumbled across the same thing. It would definitely help financially but I also wouldn’t feel right. Knowing me, as tempted as I would be to keep it, I’d probably turn it in to the police and then have a good cry after. lol

After reading this book though, if I ever come across a bag filled with cash, I’m just leaving it and moving on like nothing happened.

If you like extreme horror, I definitely suggest reading this one. It’s a lot and not for the faint of heart, that’s for sure.

#Splatterpunk #Review – Made A Monster by Rob Nelson

Leave a comment

Adrian and Kendra are a match made in Hell.

Adrian’s dark past left him with a twisted imagination that takes him deep into the forest where he does unspeakable things.

Kendra is new to town. She has a dark secret of her own and an unhealthy obsession with a boy she hasn’t even met yet.

Until Adrian met Kendra, he had his deviant urges under control. When she comes to him for help, his capacity for violence goes beyond anything either of them could have imagined.

I’m part of a horror book group on Facebook and came across a review for this book. The way the reader wrote her review, I knew I had to bump this book to the top of my list.

If you’ve been following my horror read journey, you know that Broken Dolls: Deliverance by Mique Watson is my favourite horror book. Well this one, jumped right to the top alongside that one. Nothing can top Broken Dolls for me but this book is a close second. A very close second I must say.

So we meet Adrian and I honestly have no idea what to even say about him, Kendra or this book but I’ll try.

This story may be gruesome, filled blood, gore and everything else you can imagine or not imagine but it’s so much more than that. There’s emotion, survival, two broken souls who would do anything to get by but at the same time, are stuck.

Both Adrian and Kendra come from horrible backgrounds – This is trauma bonding to the extreme – both of their parents suck and that’s putting it lightly. They’re intrigued by each other but like most people who come from a horrible background, Adrian doesn’t know how to trust. I actually thought he came around but boy was I wrong.

You ever read a book and you’re just slobbing it on the couch or bed or wherever and then something happens in said book that makes you sit up straight, hand covering your heart or mouth, eyes wide, stomach clenching and you just can’t believe what you’re reading? Yeah, that happened to me quite a few times in this book.

So I don’t know how to review this but I’ll just say that Adrian and Kendra make Chucky and Tiffany look like angels.

Oh and please read the trigger warnings. I don’t have any triggers but the content of this book made even me uncomfortable at times.

100% recommend reading this if you’re into horror, splatterpunk and a emotionally charged story.

#Review #ExtremeHorror – The Ugly Duckling by Anne Snow

Leave a comment

Once upon a time, there was a boy no one wanted. At school, the golden sons of the kingdom taught him his place with fists and sexual assault. At home, a father with a voice like thunder carved shame and violence into his bones.

Dylan learned that some children are not meant to grow into swans. People like him were the birds that got hunted.

Fairytales promise transformation. But when a heart is starved of kindness long enough, it does not sprout wings.
It grows bullets.

This was a short, definitely extreme little read. Poor Dylan has been abused by his father, his mother didn’t help, and he has to face bullies at school. No one seems to care about this poor kid.

One day he finally has enough and takes matters into his own hands.

While this book is short, it is an extreme horror, so it does come with quite a few trigger warnings. Please read with caution.

Cora
When a tall, dark stranger comes to my rescue, I brush it off as an isolated incident. I’ll never see him again, so I leave him with some advice and a parting gift.
Imagine my surprise when I learn he’s one of my new bosses.
All I want to do is work so I can take care of my young brother. I don’t have time for a relationship, but Atlas Nichols doesn’t care. He’s moody, arrogant, and keeps saying I’m his.

The joke’s on him because I don’t belong to anyone.
**
Atlas.
Coming to the aid of a stranger isn’t normally my thing. I don’t get involved in other people’s problems, but fate threw me a curveball. Fate showed me her.

Cora Ashford.
A five-foot-five girl with a smile so bright it lights up the parts of my soul I thought were long dead.
As the product of a broken system, I know I don’t deserve her, but when she smiles at me, and those blue eyes lock on mine, I know she’s it.

Damaged soul or not, I’m keeping her anyway.
Cora belongs to me, and no one will stand in my way.
Not even her.

Fighting for Fireflies is now live on Amazon and Kindle Unlimited.

#Promo – The Scout by Carina Rose

Leave a comment

From Carina Rose comes a sexy second-chance, small-town, single-mom romance.

Hannah

I suppose it was unfair of me to assume Cash Jameson would be my forever. The golden boy of Blossom Berry Falls went from high school baseball star to the major leagues. Then he broke my heart.

So many times I wanted to tell him about our son, but fate stepped in, and years went by. Being a single mom has been my biggest accomplishment. Though it hasn’t always been easy, the joys of being a mom have granted meaning to the pain of losing Cash.

Now, fifteen years later, we meet again thanks to our high school reunion’s alumni baseball game. Cash had no way of knowing that the young pitcher who struck him out was his son. But after he showed up at the door scouting the ace for the major leagues, I have no doubt he experienced the shock of his life.

Cash

Saying goodbye to Hannah was the hardest thing I’d ever done. Afraid of causing more pain, I never intended to set foot back in Blossom Berry Falls. Yet the draw of the alumni baseball game . . . and the chance to see Hannah again . . . were too powerful to resist.

After spotting Hannah in the stands, my heart sparked to life. I’d thought of her over the years but heard she’d moved on. Rather than harp on what could have been, I focused on the future—namely, the kid with the nasty curveball.

His control reminded me of myself at that age. Turned out there was a good reason for that . . . the young prodigy was the son I never knew I had. I’d missed so much of his life and refused to miss more.

Could the three of us be a family? Or were the wounds of our past too deep to heal?

#Review – Don’t Hex and Drive: Opposites Attract Vampire Romance (Stay a Spell Book 2) by Juliette Cross

Leave a comment

Notoriously bad at peopling, Isadora Savoie spends most of her time in the greenhouse or at the local animal shelter, using her Conduit powers of growth and healing. Content to remain in the background of the Savoie sister shenanigans, she’s reluctantly roped into the mystery of missing neighborhood girls.

Now, she’s partnered with a flashy, flirty vampire to find them before it’s too late. Devraj Kumar has seen and done it all. Three hundred years roaming the earth as a Stygorn—a legendary vampire warrior who operates in the shadows—has its perks. But ennui has set in. That is, until he has a run-in—literally—with an intriguing witch while on a new assignment in New Orleans.

Fascinated by her resistance to his charms, Devraj can’t help but push her buttons in an effort to get to know the shy witch. Fortunately for him, she’s been recruited by the Lord of Vampires to assist Devraj on the case. Between a Bollywood marathon, supernatural dating app, secret package, and sexy driving instruction, Isadora is in over her head. And Devraj? After just one taste, he’s playing for keeps.

This series is so much fun and I only just finished book 2. I can’t wait for the others and I’m dying to read about Jules and Reuben. There’s some unfinished business there and I really really need them to get down to it and just give me all the steamy scenes.

Back to this book. Devraj is so dreamy and Isadora agrees. She’s smitten but he falls way harder and faster first. She hesitates because all she sees when she looks at him, is a movie star and a vampire who travels for work. But he’s so much more than that and she doesn’t realize that he wants to settle down. With her.

This book is sweet, funny and oh so steamy. It has some suspenseful moments thanx to some douche bag vampires and missing girls.

I really liked this one and can’t wait to read book 3. I believe Juliette has started writing the second generation already, so I really need to read faster and catch up.

Leave a comment

When dreams become nightmares and the past refuses to die . . .

Members of Cynthia’s family are dying one by one and she doesn’t know how to stop it from happening. Cynthia records the macabre events in her journal as they occur and tries to come to terms with the fact that her old dolly, Samantha, has begun to haunt her dreams.

Cynthia is on the cusp of becoming a young woman as her thirteenth birthday looms, but her past refuses to let her go as she battles her nightmares that foreshadow the death of her family members. Her old dolly, that her mother stored in the attic, has come out of the shadows and now inhabits Cynthia’s frightening and prophetic dream-world. But are her nightmares merely products of her imagination, or are they something more than that? Something more real, more frightening, and more dangerous than any dream could ever be?

“William Cook tells a gruesome story with a sense of authenticity, that makes you question with considerable unease if it really is fiction after all.” – Graham Masterton, author of The Manitou and Descendant

“This man is simply scary. There is both a clinical thoroughness and a heartfelt emotional thoroughness to his writing. He manages to shock as well as empathize, to scare as well as acclimatize, yet beneath it all is a well read intelligence that demands to be engaged. I loved Blood Related. Ordinarily I hate serial killer stories, but William Cook won me over. He is a unique and innovative talent.” – Joe McKinney, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of Flesh Eaters and Dog Days

#Promo – The Things in the Woods: A Tiny Terrible Tale by Sarah Jules

Leave a comment

As with all urban legends, the story of Everclear House evolved depending on who was telling it.

Two things always remained consistent:
1. There were Things in the woods.
2. The Things in the woods fed on the almost dead.

“Masterfully chilling with a gut-wrenching kick. Sarah Jules knows how to take your fears and use them against you.” – Elizabeth J. Brown, author of The Laughing Policeman.

“Sarah Jules has already established herself as one of the top authors for all things creepy! Yet another fantastic story from the Tiny Terrible Tales series, this time involving a nursing home, something nasty outside in the woods, and a dark past. How the author manages to fit so much dread and horror into such a short story is truly amazing!” – Justin Boote, author of Soul Searchers.

The Things in the Woods is the second standalone, one-sitting horror short from Sarah Jules.
