Alice in Zombieland

She won't rest until she's sent every walking corpse back to its grave. Forever.

If anyone had told Alice Bell that her entire life would change course between one heartbeat and the next, she would have laughed. From blissful to tragic, innocent to ruined? Please. But that's all it took. One heartbeat. A blink, a breath, a second, and everything she knew and loved was gone.

Her father was right. The monsters are real.

To avenge her family, Ali must learn to fight the undead. To survive, she must learn to trust the baddest of the bad boys, Cole Holland. But Cole has secrets of his own, and if Ali isn't careful, those secrets might just prove to be more dangerous than the zombies.


What a wonderful take on Alice in Wonderland! If you are obsessed with zombies, kicking ass and just all things awesome like that then this is the series for you! I read the entire book in a day! Yeah i know a tad crazy- but soon ill be working 12 hour shifts, and school for 6 hours on my days off so i gotta enjoy reading now! 

Ok Ok back to the book ! So what i loved about this book was each chapter had fun titles that we would find in Alice in wonderland. What separates this book from the typical remake of Alice is- their is no rabbit hole, no happily ever after, but there is a white rabbit if you count a cloud that forewarns you something horrible will be coming that night... A truly memorizing read from the very beginning to the very end- it is a series with i believe 4 books in total. I was able to get it from my local library so this isn't something you have to go and spend money on if you dont want too. I Know how Expensive Books can Get!! :) 

Any questions before starting leave a comment and i will answer right away.. hopefully without giving away too many spoilers ! :)

What we Kill

Four lifelong friends wake up in the woods with no memory of how they got there, and no memory of the night before. One has a triangle burn in his arm, another is covered in blood, another is missing his glass eye, and finally another has no pants on. The images of big black eyes and sheep crying keep playing in their heads, but what does that mean? Not to mention their was a serial killer in the town that was just caught, and now they are pulling body after body out of his house. Were they involved in that somehow? Why cant they remember anything they did? What happened??

So this book was an ARC without page proofs, but i found it to be amazing ! You will be dying to get your hands on this book when it is released! I found myself captured from the very first page!
Like how can you wake up and not remember anything? Good kids who dont do drugs or drink, should have no problem remembering where they were the night before, and what they were doing.

As you follow each of the four friends piece together bit by bit of the events they forgot, follow them along a rollercoaster of emotions, and twist and turns to find out this crazy story! You won't believe the twist, and you won't believe what happened to this group of friends! I was gasping out loud and in utter shock when the puzzle pieces finally all come together !

Also the ending is great! I really hope it doesn't change because i loved the question ending; What would you do?
It makes you think of yourself in that situation how would you handle it? Go check this book out ASAP !!

Lustmord: Anatomy of a Serial Butcher

One of the most gruesome and sickening books i have ever read!

As you can see from the cover of this book it has that typical "scary looking" clown wielding a butcher knife. When i first saw this and read the description i was thinking "Ok, no big deal, might be a little scary and messed up... nothing i can't handle...." YEAH RIGHT! i was so wrong with my first thoughts!
For one thing the very first page of the book is a warning- yes a WARNING page- pretty much read at your own risk, the author and publisher are not liable for any depression, suicidal thoughts, failed relationships, etc.. caused by reading this book.

This book is so sick and twisted i don't know anyone who would enjoy reading this.
Cecil Omar Biggs is the "clown" we see on the front cover- he is a serial killer/rapist but a true wolf in sheep clothing because he portrays him self as a bishop! We learn about his horrible childhood which has lead him down this murderous road into adulthood.

We only get a quick glimpse as to why he decided to become a bishop and open this so called "church", Supposedly one of his "victims" escaped after being held captive inside a coffin for 10 days... she pressed charges against him and he spent some time in jail to come out a new man supposedly.

Now in this church of Bigg's, it is not open to anyone, you have to have "special invite only" meaning unless he wants to kill and rape you, you will not be getting in.
He has "board members" down in the basement with his other victims, they are all either homeless, or mental patients that were released and had no where to go. But he calls them his board members for the government, because he gets a write off come tax season.

Now lets get to the part that turned my stomach--
The details used to describe the killing and torture went too far- i tried to disassociate myself by just keep saying it's only a book but that did not help.  Every time Bigg's captured a new victim we would hear about the gruesome details of how he went about raping them- if he could "get it up", then when he was threw with them how he would go about killing them, most of the time he took his chainsaw and cut them up into little pieces, then chopped the head off... This wasn't the hardest part to read though. No it was what he did with all the blood and body parts that will make you sick...

He and his "board members" would drink the blood of the victim, and the body parts? Well lets say they enjoyed that in the cooks famous Jambalaya, or Kebab. And anything they couldn't eat they would burn in the furnace.

The smell not only penetrated the house into the neighborhood, but it stuck in the walls of the house for anyone who walked in could smell it. It even stuck to them Bigg's and his partner Muck (who helped hi capture his victims and kill them).

The entire time reading this 10,000 page book i wasn't sure how they were going to end it, since it is only Book 1 of 2, but the ending was left with Bigg's bathing in a tub of blood from his most recent kill, and Muck throwing up because he aint "no vampire."

I will not be reading the second book, i couldn't wait to finish this one and i honestly want to forget about it veery quickly.

Lost Boy

Everyone knows the classic fairy tale of Peter Pan and Captain hook, but this is a new story the correct story...

"There is one version of my story that everyone knows. And then there is the truth. This is how it happened. How I went from being Peter Pan’s first—and favorite—lost boy to his greatest enemy.
 
Peter brought me to his island because there were no rules and no grownups to make us mind. He brought boys from the Other Place to join in the fun, but Peter's idea of fun is sharper than a pirate’s sword. Because it’s never been all fun and games on the island. Our neighbors are pirates and monsters. Our toys are knife and stick and rock—the kinds of playthings that bite.

Peter promised we would all be young and happy forever.
 
Peter lies." (netgalley)

You will fall in love with this version of the story we all grew up loving, the hero we all wished would come and take us away to never neverland. Except this tale will make you run in the opposite direction never to look back. We follow Jamie as the tale is told from his perspective, and we learn how Pan goes to the other place to find boys and bring them back to his island. Once they get their all the promises of no rules and fun all the time, are quickly taken away. Pan has rules on his island they cannot ever leave, and must learn to fight, they cant kill the many eyed or the pirates unless they have too during a raid.

We eventually learn some very disturbing things about Pan, and quickly learn who Jamie turns out to be in the infamous fairy tale. A great summer read for any fan of Peter Pan story, but beware for this tale changes  your view on your favorite childhood hero.


The Fear

"Fear is all in the mind ...
But Mia’s nightmares become a reality when she and her troubled sister, Jamie, inherit their deceased uncle’s house and experience phenomena that extends way beyond a typical haunting. Only Mia’s infant daughter is aware of the sinister presence of a man that roams freely about the house, but it’s Jamie who has become the subject of the entity’s torment.
No one’s secrets stay buried for long, and the psychological abuse that the family are forced to endure soon turns physical, with the demon’s attachment to Jamie taking on a sexually violent nature. When the evil spreads beyond the boundaries of the house and wreaks chaos in the lives of those closest to Mia, she knows that she must uncover the house’s past, along with the identity of its ghostly inhabitant, in order to sever his hold on anyone who enters." (Netgalley)

Fear is a perfect title for this book because it will put fear into your mind and heart..

We follow Mia, her daughter Louisa, and Mia's sister Jamie throughout this story of horror. They recently had to put their mother into a care home for Alzheimer's disease, due to a incident at their original house. Once that happened they had to sell their home, and move into their recently passed Uncle's home where they could afford to live and take care of their mother. Except once they move in things begin to happen, strange things...

The first to experience this sinister feeling in the home is the youngest Louisa, who can see what she calls the "shadow man" and listens to him rant and rave about Mia, and Jamie. She begins to draw pictures and begins cursing at people in her life. (mind you she is very young only 5-6 years i believe). Mia works at a catering hall, where one day during a "halloween themed" party, Mia who already had a scare earlier in the day see's someone upstairs where no guests are allowed- as she follows this person upstairs she comes to a window to find her "mother" hanging from a tree- once someone else see's Mia running out of the building toward the tree- they chase her down and calm her down enough to see it is not her mother but an elderly woman who hung herself. 
Now why is this detail so important? We find out later but the scare Mia had earlier that sent her into crazy mode- well she was in the bathroom and see's this figure who appears to be her mother except she's dead and screaming at her "THIS IS YOUR FAULT!" then as Mia tries to escape the horrid image she slips and is forced into the tub which is now filled with blood water and her mother's ghost is trying to drown her...

Sounds insane right? Well this book gives you chilling detail one after another, and the imagery it puts inside your head will have you running for the hills!
A must read for any fan of Horror!!

Doll House review

SCARY AS HELL ! This book, the tittle alone sounds creepy, reading it got even worse! Totally worth it though LOL ! This book is about two serial killers who not only kidnap, tourture, and rape this young woman, as well as others, but they are also cannibals... throughout the book you learn about the main character Olivia, and her father who is dealing with his daughter being abducted... we learn about the gorilla and jackel, who were here kidnappers, but always wore masks as to hid their identity. The story continues to amaze you when Olivia manages to escape and save others, she now has the process of piecing her broken life back together. In the end the person who we know only as Jackel, you won't believe who he actually is! A must read for any fan of horror!

The Halloween Children review updated 3/14/17

hey guys so this book isn't out yet but I got a advance e copy.. so this book is as scary as the title sounds! I'm only about 700 pages into this almost 3,000 page book and I'm freaked out! It starts off with interviewer and victim so you don't know who is who, very interesting way to start a book. So far I'm just learning about the couple, their children, and some random neighbors in their community complex. But something sinister happens because yet another interview was being conducted with the only surviving victim, hmm wonder what happened? Oh and people are hearing weird noises in the walls, people crying for help, but when looked into, no one and nothing is there. Since it is dark outside and I'm reading, I got a little freaked out! HA! So I will finish tomorrow and post my final thoughts!
This book is to be released in June 2017!

**update: Hey everyone so i finished reading the book, and it only gets scarier as you read on. A very gruesome account begins to unfold, the weird noises? You find out what that was, and now halloween is here and things take a very ominous turn... People are dead, children missing presumed dead, and a father in a asylum. While i found the book interesting and scared the hell out of me, i found the ending to be a little confusing... I had to really think about it, which is great because no book leaves you thinking like that! But like i said a bit confusing because i couldn't quite figure it out until shortly after finishing and thinking about the book itself.. The ending though wasn't as clear as i was hoping it to be, it doesn't explain why this actually happened, why the children, and how come kill everyone?  So I'm very interested to see other people's thoughts when this book is released and read how others felt toward the ending.
