The Glade is a paranormal horror about a woman with terminal cancer, Helen, who retreats to a cottage in the woods with her husband, Geoff, to spend her last days. Instead, she begins to recover from her illness due to the mysterious curative power of the surrounding forest.

The author keeps readers on their toes by adding twists and turns and switching between the past and the present  eventually merging them together in the end. The story is well told and easy to follow.

The Glade hooked me from the start. The characters are well developed, although there are at least two that have no significance to the story, at least not for me, and could have been left out of the book. At the beginning I could relate to Helen, but somewhere around the middle of the book, she lost some relatability for me. She seems narcissistic and aloof at times. Also, I did not understand how a woman who had just been raped by a zombie could desire to have sex with various men shortly after, nor could I comprehend how a mother could leave her daughter to live with a total stranger. However, she redeems herself at the end.

The overall pace of the story is good, and it only seems to drag a bit in the middle with several pages of Helens reflections and ponderings about her situation.

The storyline is the winner here, with its uniqueness and vivid descriptions. The author kept me engaged from start to finish with her wonderful writing style and storytelling abilities, and the surprise ending. I recommend this book to anyone 18+ who enjoys paranormal, horror and suspense.

I had been in the mood for a good YA paranormal read for a while now when I stumbled upon a recommendation for this one. The synopsis was intriguing, so I decided to jump right in and read this story based on a popular YouTube channel. This suspenseful and unique book hooked me from the very first page and left me wanting more in the best way possible. I couldn't read fast enough as I waited to find out what exactly was happening in Sunshines house. The Haunting of Sunshine Girl was creepy, engaging, and absolutely fascinating.

Sunshine was such a quirky and likeable heroine. Her life was turned upside down in more ways than one when she and her mother moved from Texas to Washington and into what turned out to be a haunted house. I loved Sunshines maturity and her relationship with her mother, but I especially adored her friendship with Nolan. He was smart, kind, and genuinely interested in helping Sunshine understand and stop the paranormal happenings taking over her life. Filled with plenty of twists and turns, this story kept me on my toes and left me excited for the next installment.

My first dip into paranormal and boy did Love Bites deliver a "bite"!  Ive never been interested in any type of paranormal erotica, but Angela Knight has reeled me in!  The novel is full of extremely erotic scenarios between a very alpha male vampires (and at times, add two more alphas!) and one extremely alpha male witch.  The scenes are extremely steamy, but still have the underlying hint of attraction and love.

The one thing I have always feared with reading paranormal novels was the potential absurdity of it.  Angela Knight quickly eliminated that in this novel, with her characters acting, feeling, and loving, and just being as human as I am.  The use of King Arthur references and myths throughout the novel, not only pulled me in, but had me researching as I went.  To delve even more into the myths, then relate it to the book, made the book that much more intriguing.  The reader is constantly vying for the characters to realize their true feelings through all the hott sex scenes, realizing their connections aren't only in the bed room (or dungeon ;-) ).  I very much wanted to combust at many parts in this novel!!

I was so pleasantly surprised by the first book in the Weird Girls series, Sealed with a Curse.  It was such a fresh and fun take on vampire and were lore with some witchy elements thrown in.  While there was a very interesting love story element taking place, I think the thing that shines through this book is the relationship between the sisters.  Each sister is very different from the other.  Not only in skills, but also in personality.  Put them together and I believe they will show us time and again that they are unstoppable.  Funny, spunky, intelligent, and at times very sarcastic, they really made this book a wonderful addition to the paranormal genre.

While this book is about all four Wird girls, this book focuses more on Celia than the others.  She is intelligent, sassy, and by many accounts very scary (it is the shifter in her).  She also happens to be very lonely.  She tends to carry the burden of her family upon her shoulders.  I loved the complexity of her character and watching her come into her own in the paranormal world she has been thrust head first into after trying to keep her and her family as normal as possible all these years.

The plot was unique and kept me on my toes.  The love elements were both sweet and intense.  The characters were fascinating and I finished the book wanting to know more about them.  I had a very difficult time putting this book down, which is always a sign of a great book.  If you like paranormal awesomeness with a bit of sarcasm, this book may be just the book for you.

I was given a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This was a very well written, intriguing story! It is definitely very different than most of the paranormal stories I have read.

Morgan Blackstone is an old vampire who suddenly finds herself in a world of trouble. One of the lines that stuck with me the most is a great surmise of the story- "Morgan rules with an iron fist in a velvet glove." She is a tough individual who can't be kept down.

Right off the bat we're sent into a slowly unraveling mystery with plenty of action and drama in between. I was intrigued by the story line immediately, I had no clue what to expect next until the very end. What I really loved was her unique and fun twist on vampires. It was a mix of different lore with her own spin to it; not something you see everyday and yet not too extremely different from modern tales.
The character's personalities popped from the pages, letting me in to either love them or hate them. With the well drawn out detail, engaging dialog, and smooth transitioning from chapter to chapter, I not only enjoyed the story but I felt as if I were living it!
I will be eagerly looking out for more work from this author, and I highly recommend Cast in Blood to all paranormal fans!

If you're a fan of ghost stories, especially exorcisms and demon mythology-type stuff, this is an amazing read. The hauntings in this story are truly scary, and there's a surprise twist that happens halfway through that I just didn't see coming. As someone who loves reading about demons and ghosts, I was impressed by the accuracy in how the ghosts and demons operate, attaching themselves to the individuals and haunting them, oppressing their feelings and generally making their lives worse.

The writing style is also fantastic, which isn't too surprising when you consider the fact that this author has written an entire series before this one. Despite that series being in a different genre, however, she handles the subject matter very well here, and it's clear that she understands how to tell a proper story. I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for the sequels as they're released.

I really, really loved this book. In fact, this is the first book that I ever read in one day, it was that was that awesome. Although I don't like to watch the paranormal show because they are too fake for me, I really love a good ghost story though! This book definitely keeps up the creepy and foreboding feeling that something bad is about to happen. One of my favorite things about the book is the fact that it uses little quotes by famous people through out.  The quotes are all very spooky and sometimes shocking.
The book moves at a fast pace and really doesn't waste any time. It seems like such a quick read because once it pulls you in, it will not let go! I like how the author brought the personal lives of one of the Paranormal Posse  in the picture but I wish she would have given us more background on the other characters as well.

The book was left like it was a cliffhanger and I would be more than willing to read the  sequel to this.

Wow! I could NOT put the book down! It was fast paced and had many different things happening all at the same time! Sara Caine is called in to investigate hauntings in an assisted living center which used to be a famous Hollywood hotel... and she finds more than she had expected! (No more about the story because you MUST read it yourself!!!)

This story not only has paranormal but historical references... and what happens will shock you as the tale unfolds. There are indeed many layers to the story, and this is what makes it quite an intense yet enjoyable read! The author has created a world that you can see, hear, and feel - and you are pulled in with the characters as they try to solve not only the hauntings but also mysterious deaths of the residents. Sara, Johan, and the others are well developed so that you care what is happening. You even feel sorry for Nurse Lou as everyone seems to be ganging up on her and accusing her of mischief. (We can see the whole picture, poor Lou can't.) There are some characters we aren't sure about... and others that are simply creepy! There were twists and turns that really had me thinking! (Isn't that what makes reading a great book more fun?!)

I was given a free copy of this book - and I am happy to write this review. I am already deep into the NEXT book in the series because I love Dominika Waclawiak's writing so much! I HAVE to know what happens next to Sara!!! READ this book! You will be glad that you did!

I highly enjoyed reading about the town where I live and all the paranormal places I never would have known about otherwise!!  Margie's perspective is quite enjoyable, and the book motivates me to pay more attention to what's around me, just in case--maybe even do a little ghost hunting myself!

I had such a good time reading this book.  I couldn't put it down, I just had to know what was happening next! I love that the paranormal twist to this book was ghosts, definitely something different for me.  The mystery and the unexpected twists throughtout the underlying love story is excellent.  The characters were great.  There are fun people you just adore, horrible people you wish you could punch in the face, and quirky people you don't know if you like or don't.  Not an overly emotional book, but it will have you feeling multiple ways while you take this reading journey.  A must read, if you ask me!

THE HAUNTING OF THE HOCKOMOCK SWAMP is my new 2015 favorite paranormal read!  This book is one outstanding experience. Once I started the book, the pages quickly flew through my fingers.  I was so intrigued by this story, because the author has the unique ability to combine real life historical events into her fiction writing.  To say this story was magnificent is an understatement.  There is a wealth of every type of genre in this one book.  It explores the paranormal, mystery, and an unforgettable romance.  My hat is off to H.E. Kline for writing this unforgettable book!

This story was so fascinating both for the scary haunting and the interesting family dynamics.  I love reading these books for the flashback in time to what life was like a few decades previous to our own before cell phones and computers.  I always find paranormal books written by regular people so much more believable than those written by 'investigators' and the author comes across and a caring and sensible mother.  I will be re-reading this book for sure.

I love it...a fascinating story for paranormal fans. It's irresistible and utterly frightful. It will leave you on the edge of your seat to the very end. Highly recommended.

I do not normally read books that include anything paranormal but this was fascinating. Hard to put down. Identifying with the main character it is easy to want her to escape to the point you can't stop reading. The end of the book, however, isn't really an ending per se so I have to purchase the next book!

I got this as a free e-book, and I am so thankful I did! I didn't want to put it down, but sometimes I had to, because I got so wrapped up in the story that I realized I was holding my breath! This book is absolutely non-stop, with a unique paranormal story line; another reader suggested a comparison to a smash-up of the Bourne Identity & the DaVinci Code, and I think I agree. If you are a fan of those types of stories, read this!
