Shadows Of The Woods by Duncan Thompson | Blog Tour
Shadows Of The Woods is like a bullet to the jugular! Holy crap this book was good! The title gives us insight into two sides of the same coin. A shadow instantly made me think of the claustrophobia, the darkness creeping in ready to take us.

Review: The Last Days of Jack Sparks by Jason Arnopp
The Last Days of Jack Sparks is definitely an odd book. The supernatural is a powerful force to be reckoned with but Jack Sparks ego revolves around the sun. if you are going into this book expecting a terrifying book, you are going to be disappointed.
