Skeleton Crew: Selections

Stars 5/5

Skeleton Crew: Selections by Stephen King

This is a four story collection by the author. I really enjoyed this collection but I have to say that I really loved "The Raft"! That had to be the most spooky and creepy ever. I do not want to go into the stories more because they are short stories but picture yourself swimming out to a wooden raft and there is something in the water that will not leave until you are dead. I highly recommend this to everyone who loves horror.

This is book 1.5 of the Unwind Dystology and a short story that I just loved. This continues on following Lev and his path of hiding for his life. He lands on a Native American Reservation and meets a young music genius. I do not want to go into the story more as to not spoil it but I have to say that this book made me so angry and sad. I highly recommend it to everyone. Bring the tissues.

Stars 5/5

Dry by Neal Shusterman & Jarrod Shusterman

(note... This book made it to my 2018 Favorites List)

OMG! I loved this book! Wow! This book made it to my 2018 Favorites List and for good reason. It is Amazing to say the very least. The story is about a major tap out, or drought, that hits Southern California and there is No Water At All! Alyssa, her brother and neighbor find themselves fighting to stay alive in pursuit of something to drink. I do not want to go into the story more as to not spoil it but I highly recommend this book to everyone and make sure you have a water bottle near.

The Roanoke Girls

Stars 4/5

The Roanoke Girls by Amy Engel

This book is creepy good! I went into this book not knowing anything about it and WOW is all I can say. The story follows Lane, a young girl that came to live at her grandparents home because her mother committed suicide. She stays there one summer and in that short time she finds out just what it means to be a Roanoke Girl. I do not want to go into the story more as to not spoil it but I would warn of some sexual content. I enjoyed it though and would recommend it to everyone who likes a twisty thriller.

The Girl In The Well Is Me

Stars 5/5

The Girl In The Well Is Me by Karen Rivers

What an amazing book! I just loved this story and it brought out so many feelings. The story follows Kammie and how she is going through an initiation to be "in" with the popular girls. After having her hair cut off, she is told to stand on a rotten board over a well and she falls in. The popular girls, Kandy, Mandy and Sandy mock her, spit gum on her and laugh as Kammie is hurt hanging on hangway down the well. As a reader, I just wanted to scream! I don't want to go into the story more as to not spoil it but I highly recommend it! This is great for kids of all ages.
