5 out of 5 stars!

Better You Believe is a collection of short stories. All urban legends Tony has come across over the years, while on his own adventures.

Nothing better than the perfect scary story as a kid. What we may not realise at that age, is a lot of the stories that have circled around come from urban legends our parents or family members have heard.

Tony not only brought attention to urban legends I myself had never heard of. He brought them to life, putting his own little spin on them. These are tales that will stick with me for a very long time, perhaps even for life.

These bizarre, creepy, strange stories are very fast paced and will leave you itching for more of each.

Some of the characters are so relate-able and you can’t help but feel emotions along side them, some of these myths will come across very cheeky, but know that there is a good life lesson to learn in each. So be sure to pay attention to the underlining message.

Tony’s writing is so enjoyable. No added filler, no drawn out sections, great story development, the characters are done really well and as I mentioned each story is very fast paced. You will fly through this collection in no time while being entertained the whole time, you may even be shocked by some of the twists that come along.

Yes! Of course I would recommend Better You Believe.

Sour is a mix of some of the urban legends you may have read in “Better You Believe”ย ย all wrapped together in one perfect creepy bundle.

The moment I started to dive into Sour I thought… YES! This is it. I wanted more of these stories and I am getting just that.

Sam has to takes some drastic steps to try and rectify a huge loss after some very poor choices but again things may never be the same and might be better off just left alone.

I really enjoyed Sour, so happy I picked it up immediately after Better You Believe. It helped satisfy some of the thirst I had for more on these legends.

Again I would recommend Sour as well! I may even recommend reading them one after the other so everything is fresh in your mind….. Your welcome!

4 out of 5 stars!

A unique read!

I am a fan of odd, eerie, gruesome reads and The Scrimshaw Worm hit on those themes well.

Your main character, Will seems like a really good guy. He will protect those that just can’t or won’t protect themselves, he also has a soft spot in his heart for some in his life. After a harsh yet passionate act Will’s choices have forced him to serve as a doctor on a Whaling Voyage, even though he promised himself never again. During his journey on the ship they save a women who seems to be a damsel in distress from a dyer situation. Shortly after, crew members start to disappear, some are attacked, some are killed and left for the rest of the crew to find and yet no one knows what’s happening.

The Scrimshaw Worm leaves you antsy to know what or who is attacking the crew.

I enjoyed The Scrimshaw Worm and I am happy I picked it up.

I only have a couple very small reasons why I took a star off my rating and please keep in mind these are my own opinions and you may not feel the same when picking up this read for yourself. These reasons also don’t take away from the story line, characters, plot or Daniel’s writing.ย 

I found the down time in-between the action, although short and not drawn out, was very slow. I wanted to rush through those moments in order to get back to the action. Again this is most likely just me and it may show that the book was well written because I obviously wanted more. Also the down time was not just filler, it was information that was crucial to the story so I had to slow myself down and take it all in. My only other reason was that you got such a strong glimpse of who Will was back on the mainland and a sneak peak into one relationship in particular he held and I found that I missed not having that closure at the end of the story to see how things were off the waters.

All in all I would recommend this read. I think it will be unlike any of the novels you have in your collection currently.

downloadIt’s New Year’s Eve 1980, and the students of DeAngelo High School are lacing up their skates for the All-Night New Year’s Lock-In at the Rollerville Roller Disco. Some of them just want to skate and dance the night away to the pounding disco music. Some want to pull a few pranks and have a few laughs. For others, like Dan Parsons, tonight is a chance to move on and forget about his ex-girlfriend, maybe even flirt with Denise, that cute girl behind the snack counter. It seems like nothing can go wrong.But there’s a massive blizzard raging outside, thick snow and ice are piling up against all the doors. There are those rumors that Rollerville was built over part of the old graveyard next door, and someone out there is watching. Also, a strange homeless man in the parking lot says that tonight will be the start of the so-called “Year of Blood.”A night of skating and New Year’s fun is about to turn into a night of violence and bloody mayhem in Disco Deathtrap.

A safe night turns to be a complete BLOODBATH!

Roubique has done it again! He has to be one of my all time favourite 80’s slasher authors.

Cameron has this way of creating these lively characters, memorable characters, puts them in this overwhelmingly terrifying situation. Some may give up, others will fight till the very end. Meanwhile the reader sits there biting their nails…. waiting to see who survives.

Like most 80’s slasher films you think you know who’s done it!….. But with Roubique’s evil masterpieces… you end up being so very, very wrong. Not only are you shocked on who it was, the murderers motives are gripping their backstories are so detailed. Cameron’s writing in itself is so extremely detailed. Be warned, these reads are not for squeamish people.

In Disco Deathtrap no one is safe! Only one way to find out who survives….

download (1)Ronnie has the perfect summer job at the Indian Hill Golf Course. All day he gets to ride around on mowers and golf carts, check out the beautiful drink cart girls, joke around with his best friend Mark, and get plenty of fresh air and sunlight.That all changes when a huge late spring hailstorm blows in one night, leaving the golf course in shambles. As they clean up all the limbs and downed trees, Ronnie and Mark learn about the Native American Kikawa tribe that was brutally massacred at the top of the hill near the seventeenth green, and the evil medicine man known as Chief Tomahawk who supposedly put a curse on the land. It seems that the curse may prove to be real as the golf course is dogged with bad luck, and a dark figure wearing a wooden Chief’s mask and a black-feathered headdress is watching them from the shadows.Now, in preparation for the biggest golf tournament of the year, Ronnie and the maintenance crew have to come in and work through the night. They are about to find out that Chief Tomahawk has returned, and he wants revenge for his slaughtered people.

The perfect summer job!… Or so Ronnie thought

Nightmares can hide anywhere… you never know when they will strike, perhaps for an awful revenge!

Golf Curse was such a wild ride! Indian Hill Golf Course really does sound like the perfect summer job, that is until the stories of the land being cursed starts to add up. Enough to terrify the believers anyhow… maybe not so much for the non-believers.

Again the detail in Roubique’s novels astound me. Each character is perfectly placed with a good amount of a background story, helping you decide who the trouble makers are and who the goody too-shoes are. I don’t know about you but I find myself already planning out who may be the first to go simply based on their personalities. Than comes in this whole story behind Indian Hill Golf Course and why they say it’s cursed.

They do say write what you know, which is exactly what Roubique has done. Having the knowledge from working at a golf course himself and man has it worked out for him.

Cameron’s work will keep your heart pounding. Be prepared!

An author I highly recommend across the board. Oh and I can’t forget! His mind blowing covers are his own incredible paintings.

5 out of 5 stars

Perfection! An anthology at its best!

Autumncrow is packed full of eerie goodness. Each story is so incredibly unique, some with a sweet underlining story that turns dark… others with a down right horrifying feeling throughout.

Chaney has created a bone chilling setting with some of the best characters. Each story will sink its teeth into you.

I couldn’t put Autumncrow down. Something about Cameron’s writing… I was completely immersed in this fictional town. One of the best parts was none of these stories were predictable, each had such an element of surprise.

I don’t think I could even tell you if I had a favourite, they were all so vivid and intense. Maybe my only negative to say is….. I just wanted more.

Cameron has impressed me yet again. I can not wait to see what he comes up with next.

5 out of 5 stars

A psychological thriller at its best!

Your Move is intense.

It will have you on the end of your seat and your heart pumping.

Michelle blew me away with her writing style, she did so many things right. Not only did she dedicate the perfect amount of time to the plot, really building the perfect layout for the story line but Your Move is also extremely character driven. It’s not easy to get that perfect delicate balance of both worlds but Michelle nailed it.

thumbnail_IMG_3945Your Move will keep you completely engrossed throughout the whole read. Just as you are getting comfortable and really feel you know where the story is going, Michelle throws you for a complete spiral.

Claire will experience memories of her past or the story may jump from present to the future, yet you don’t get a full view into Claire’s history and why she’s hiding. You get that perfect tidbit here and there… Just enough to keep you gripping on… wanting more.

I admired Claire’s strength! I also adored some of the relationships that started throughout this novel, so heart warming and a large piece of the story you will want to cling onto.

Your Move is everything I could ask for in a psychological thriller. It will really mess with your mind. Be prepared!



Thank you so much to Michelle Young for sending me this copy for review.

Michelle is a Canadian author of two poetry books, Salt & Light (2017) and Without Fear (2019). Your Move is her debut novel.

BRILLIANT!ย 

Honestly, this review could stop right here! Simply………Brilliant.ย 

Not only does Gold have some of the most unusual concepts for his novels but his writing is absolutely phenomenal.

Lost In The Clouds is such a thought provoking, profound read. Neville is faced with the hardest moment in his life. Having to sever all ties with the life you lived, saying goodbye to those you love and things that were near and dear to your heart is hard enough. Finding out not everything you thought you knew was honest. This only stirs the pot of emotions much deeper.

Through Neville’s desperate journey to find that closure and to be able to move on, not wanting to face a consequence worse than death itself wasn’t the only heart-full piece of this read. Neville learns about himself, he realises some negative moments in his life he can’t only point the finger at others… he is just as much to blame. This sat heavy with me! It made me think back on my own choices and whether I dealt with them in the purest of heart or out of anger.

One paragraph in this book really stuck with me and will forever have me thinking.

“Who am I to judge what gives us our identity? Many struggle to find meaning in a hundred lifetimes. If you were lucky enough to have a purpose day in and day out, well, perhaps you lived more than most. And if you don’t regret it, why should I regret it for you?”ย 

I took so much from this incredibly powerful read. Be honest to yourselves, be honest to others, have the utmost respect for everyone and everything around you. Don’t ever take advantages of moments, hold your memories close. Life is meaningful and we only get one to live. Don’t have any regrets.



Thank you so much to R.K. Gold for sending Lost In The Clouds to me. R.K. did not ask me for a full review but I was so moved by it….I had to.



And of course thank you all for reading.

5 out of 5 stars – for both

Cameron has done it! He is a new favourite author of mine.

I honestly had never read a 80’s slasher horror read before. To be honest I never even realised anything such as this existed within sub genres in horror. Until I took part in the BookTube’s: Bloody Beach Readatlong. Thank goodness for this readalong held by incredible BookTubers because I have now found one of my favourite type of reads within horror.

Kill River and Kill River 2 read exactly as 80’s slasher films. The first half is a slower paced read. Giving the perfect moment to introduce the characters, get a feel for their personalities and what they were all about. The plot was described in such perfect detail. I could really envision the scenes and where the characters where in each moment. It also gave me time to pick and choose my favourite characters and not so favourite.

thumbnail_IMG_3674Iย  found myself even before the creepy moments started working around in my head who I thought was going to be killed first and potentially how they were going to die.

You know….just based on your typical slasher film rules. You know … those rules….If you don’t… than I don’t think you are a true slasher films lover!

Cameron’s description for both the characters and the settings were phenomenal and without being overly wordy. I felt as though I was seeing everything Cyndi and her friends where in the moment, right down to the beautifully landscaped water park decorated with the perfect wildflowers and other designs. Now this may become to hard for some to read when the murder scenes start. They did get extremely gruesome at times, so be sure you have a good strong stomach…. I can’t stress this enough.

These reads are not for everyone. But if you want to experience some of that 80’s slasher film nostalgic feels be sure to pick up both Kill River and its amazing sequel Kill River 2.

5 out of 5 stars

The slasher horror read with a deep underlining story.

Fat Camp was brilliant.

Phillip had lost so much in his close family life. Decides its time to do better by himself, runs off to camp Wasicu to lose weight. Only to lose much more than what he signed up for. Yet the strength that builds within Phillip is inspiring. He himself is a force to be reckoned with.

thumbnail_IMG_3665The slasher moments within Fat Camp were well done. They reminded me of a true slasher film. Quick, unexpected and shocking. Also not over the top, quiet realistic which only added to the chill factor.

I know the focus for most while reading this book is the murder scenes but I couldn’t help but get pulled right into the character growth as well. Existing relationships that flourished and new relationships launched. All while getting your quench of shocking, gory moments.

Moral of the story with Fat Camp. Don’t mess around with others, be careful how you wrong people. You never know who will decide to get an awful revenge!

Fat Camp was the perfect edition to my summer reads! Thank goodness my son was back from his summer camp long before I read this.

I would highly recommend this read. Sneak it in before our summer is completely gone.

Middle Grade

Genre: Fantasy

5 out of 5 stars

Since Beds Are For Flowers is a middle grade read, I had the joy of getting to read this with my eldest son. We both absolutely loved this read and highly recommend it.

R.K. Gold is a indie author I met through BookTube. He has always been so inspirational and really has a way with words. When I heard he had started a middle grade series I knew I had to get my hands on it.

The middle grade world is absolutely saturated with fantasy. Making it extremely hard for an author to release something unique into the mix. Dare I say R.K. did just that! He amazed me with the world of Ganedyn.

Beds Are For Flowers is a beautiful story, with sensational characters that will take your breath away. The thought of being born into a bland, color-less world where each and everyday you are worried for your loved ones. Knowing, by facing your fears you may be able to set the pieces of the puzzle back together. Changing things for the best out come possible.

We were hooked! Eager to find out if Clarence, Jesse and Wakoba succeeded in their journey.

I often say that indie authors write some incredible gems. I can’t stress enough how important it is to support indie authors. Trust me, you may find your next top favourite read.

Be sure to check out this series by R.K. Gold!



And of course thank you all for reading.

3 out of 5 stars

Aspiring’s premise is extremely intriguing. The moment I read the synopsis I was interested.

Astrid’s writing is very crisp, clean and flows smoothly. Making this a pleasant, easy read.ย The characters are described perfectly, well rounded and with great back stories. The amount of plot vs dialog is distributed perfectly throughout.

All around, well written


Unfortunately the execution of this story fell short for me.

After reading the synopsis which starts with “A coven of witches plots to over throw a kingdom” I was expecting an action pact read, with a splash of romance…which was not the case.

I found this story was almost confused on whether it was meant to be a fantasy story full of evil witches with one to stand in their way, or a full on light romance.

It started off great with Elisabeth finding out she has powers herself, while her mother was fighting for her life on her unfortunate death bed. Elizabeth knowing she is untrained and needs to learn how to use and control her powers. This had me fully invested as a reader! Until the part where she is receiving the proper training is grazed over and the story becomes her and her crush showing and admitting their lover for each other.

I personally was looking for that witchy adventure and excitement that the synopsis promised… not receiving the true thrill until the end of the book.

Now, that being said. I know this is not a stand alone novel. There will be a sequel and I am sure not only the characters but the plot will thicken as it goes. But with such a strong synopsis tied to this first novel I was expecting more from this story. Which could put off any reader from picking up the second books, expecting the lack-luster of action to be carried on to the sequel.



Please keep in mind these are my own opinions. I am not dragging this lovely author by any means. As mentioned, her all around writing was absolutely fantastic.

Where something may not have been what I was expecting, doesn’t mean you won’t enjoy it yourself.

I don’t know how many times I have read or seen a negative book review, still held interested, picked up the book and absolutely adored it.

Aspiring may be your perfect cup of tea!



And of course thank you all for reading.
