Judas Kiss (Taylor Jackson #3)

Stars 5/5
Judas Kiss by J.T. Ellison

This is the third book in the Taylor Jackson series and I am hooked. I am really enjoying this series and plan to continue on with the next books. This book continues to follow Taylor, as she and her fiance return home from their honeymoon after their wedding was interrupted. Taylor is immediately called to the scene of a new murder investigation. She is also starting to wonder if someone is following her. I don't want to go into the story more as to not spoil it but I highly recommend it as well as the series.

Marley's Chain

Stars 4/5
Marley's Chain by Alan E. Nourse

This is a short story that follows Tam as he is being checked at the airport and the things that he witnesses while there. Things that he only thought were made up stories. I don't want to go into this story more as to not spoil it because it is only a short story but I do recommend it.

The Pit And The Pendulum by Edgar Allan Poe

This definitely is not the first time I have read this story but I did get a copy of it and wanted to do a reread.

Definitely a creepy read.
