My rating: 3 of 5 stars

(I received a copy from Netgalley, In exchange for an honest review.)

The main character wasn't bad, but I didn't love her.

The first chapter of this was interesting, but it went downhill from there unfortunately. I found the rest of it pretty dull, and I just lost interest. I'm glad it was only short.

Overall, Not awful, but I'm glad it didn't take long to get through.

Twisted By Jo Gibson

TwistedTwisted by Jo Gibson
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Overall rating - 2.5

My Bloody Valentine - 2.5

I found this one really dull, and it just couldn't keep my interest. Even when people died, I was bored.

Can't say I'm looking forward to the next one in the Twisted bind up.

The Seance - 2.5

This one was just as dull as the last one unfortunately, and again, It didn't interest me even when people died.

Glad I've only got one more book in the bind up to read.

Slay Bells - 2.5

This was again another dull read, but I wasn't expecting much else from it to be honest.

Glad I've finished the bind up now.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

(I received a copy from the author, In exchange for an honest review.)

Eden was an okay character, but I didn't warm to her enough to love her.

The pacing in this one was quite weird for me. I was getting through the book pretty quickly, but at the same time, it felt like quite a slow read.
The stroryline itself wasn't bad, but it did lose my interest a few times.

Overall, An okay read.

Cruel Beauty By Rosamund Hodge

Cruel Beauty (Cruel Beauty Universe #1)Cruel Beauty by Rosamund Hodge
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I felt quite sorry for Nyx at the beginning of this, but after a few chapters, I just found her to be annoying.

This started out okay, but after a bit it started to drag for me unfortunately. The story just lost my interest, and the main character got more annoying with every chapter.

Overall, Started okay, but went downhill.

Like Candy (Candy, #1) By Debra Doxer

Like Candy (Candy, #1)Like Candy by Debra Doxer
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

(I received a copy from Netgalley, In exchange for an honest review.)

Actual rating - 2.5

Candy could be quite annoying at times, and I didn't really like her.

I was slightly bored after the first few chapters in this, and unfortunately, as the book progressed, my boredom got worse. The pacing was pretty slow, and the majority of what happened in this didn't interest me.

This ended on a bit of a cliffhanger, but I doubt I'll be reading book two.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

(I received a copy from the author, In exchange for an honest review.)

Actual rating - 2.5

The characters in this were okay, but I didn't love any of them.

Overall, Not a bad read, but not one for me.

Tales from the Graveyard: The Complete CollectionTales from the Graveyard: The Complete Collection by Susan Shultz
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

(I received a copy from Netgalley, In exchange for an honest review.)

Overall rating - 2.7/5

The Blacksmith - 2.5

I felt a bit sorry for the main character in this at the start, but that only lasted a chapter, and then I just found her weird.

This fell flat for me unfortunately, and I just found it weird.

Jessie - 2.75

This one wasn't quite as bad as the first one, but I still didn't enjoy it that much.

I'm hoping there's another improvement with book three.

Dirt - 2.75

This one was about the same as the last one. Weird, and couldn't keep my interest very well, but not as bad as the first book in the series.

I'm glad there's only one more left.

Sam - 2.75

This one, just like the previous three books, was weird and boring. It dragged quite a lot, but it was nice to know that once it was over, the whole collection would be over!

Overall;

This collection wasn't one that I enjoyed unfortunately. I found the stories more weird than creepy, and they just couldn't hold my interest. They felt a lot longer than what they were because of how much they dragged, and I was very relieved when I got to the ending of the last story!

Jenny Pox (The Paranormals, #1) By J.L. Bryan

Jenny Pox (The Paranormals, #1)Jenny Pox by J.L. Bryan
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I felt quite sorry for Jenny in this at times. It couldn't have been easy going through life knowing her touch could kill, and then being made fun of for wearing gloves all the time to try and prevent it from happening.

This was an okay read, although I didn't enjoy it as much as the authors Ghost trapper series. There wasn't really anything wrong with this one that made me feel that way, it just couldn't keep my interest quite so well.

Overall, An okay read.

It's a Wonderful DeathIt's a Wonderful Death by Sarah J. Schmitt
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

(I received a copy from Edelweiss, In exchange for an honest review.)

I can't say I loved the main character. She annoyed me quite a lot, and I just couldn't warm to her enough.

This was an okay read, but I did start to lose interest around halfway. It started to drag slightly after that point for me unfortunately, so I was pretty glad when I got to the end.

Overall, Started out okay, but I lost interest.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

(I received a copy from Netgalley, In exchange for an honest review.)

I didn't like the characters in this as much I liked them in book one, but they were alright.

This was an okay read, but it wasn't as good as book one. On top of not liking the characters as much, the story didn't interest me as much, I found the pacing to be slower, and the twists weren't as good.

Overall, Okay read, but not as enjoyable as the first installment.

Carefully Everywhere Descending By L.B. Bedford

Carefully Everywhere DescendingCarefully Everywhere Descending by L.B. Bedford
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

(I received a copy from Netgalley, In exchange for an honest review.)

I felt quite sorry for the main character in this at points, but I didn't love her.

This wasn't an awful read, but I'm glad it was only short. There wasn't really much going on apart from the main character having a crush on someone, and her having to deal with money issues, so it was pretty dull. It picked up near the end, but everything before that felt like a waste of time.

Overall, A bit dull, but not awful.
