I
am a life-long bibliophile but I have never read anything like this book! It’s
almost poetry. It could be a sci-fi tale or a romance but it is so much more. I

has a happy ending. It’s a quick read that will make you in awe of the human
spirit, even when a character isn’t 100% human.

the horror genre. Think Scooby Doo meet Cthulhu. The author pulls it off, as

hit the last page, I laughed with glee.
A nostalgic and subversive trip rife with sly nods to H. P. Lovecraft and pop culture, in the vein of It and Stranger Things.
An exuberant and wickedly entertaining celebration of horror, love, friendship, and many-tentacled, interdimensional demon spawn. SUMMER 1977. The Blyton Summer Detective Club (of Blyton Hills, a small mining town in Oregon's Zoinx River Valley) solved their final mystery and unmasked the elusive Sleepy Lake monster-another low-life fortune hunter trying to get his dirty hands on the legendary riches hidden in Deboen Mansion. And he would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for those…
Steamy and inventive twist on Hades and Persephone
story. This starts off her Dark Olympus series that is so original and
well-written. Just be aware, these books are spicy!
He was supposed to be a myth. But from the moment I crossed the River Styx and fell under his dark spell...he was, quite simply, mine.

Janey clawed her way out of an abusive home to make a safe, and better, life
