Welcome Back...

It's been a while since I've posted a book review here, but that doesn't mean I haven't been reading. I also have been listening to audiobooks since my reading time has been pinched. Like many of you, family life throws a curve ball and we have to follow the pitch. I've been an active grandma for the past five years though surely you're not here for pictures.

Books! That's what we're all about, and I have plenty of reviews to share with you.

First Books 5 and 6 of The Scariest Legends Series by Jeremy Bates 

The characters jump off the page in The Dancing Plague Book 5

It's an enjoyable, intense tale about childhood friends who fend off bullies and so much more… Ben, Chunk, and Sally face dark forces together, but Ben has many demons confronting him in this coming to age story. Ben is an author who writes about his childhood home on Cape Cod —I loved the scenery and sense of place, the boyhood shenanigans, and the adult shadows that haunt this tormented soul. Great suspense with flowing, page-turning thrills. Great writing. A must-read for all horror/thriller fans.

Excellent story progression in The Dancing Plague Book 6 

It's an enjoyable read! with a dramatic plot and fast-paced action. The second book stayed true to the characters who were fleshed out in the first story. It was fun to see how the characters reacted to each other so many years later. Our three heroes connect to save each other, friends (kind of) to the end.

Great character arcs and deep dives into motivations. The horror is there, tense situations with bloody scenes, and supernatural beings for all horror fans. A fantastic 2 books from the series that are fun to read. 

Jeremy Bates knows how to write real page-turners!
