Posted on by Letty Reads

Stream and Scream by Melissa McSherry and Dana LeeAnn

Stream and Scream is a slasher-like book; it follows Olivia, who is one of 15 influencer contestants. They signed up for a game of survival, and promised followers, fortune and viral glory if they win. They must survive the weekend and reach the safe zone while being hunted. The catch? The show is real, the hunter is real, and the screams they hear are real. Jaxen is the hunter, a military-trained one at that, and he likes hearing the screams. When he sees Liv, he instantly becomes obsessed and possessive; she is his. He will hunt her, and enjoy it, but he won’t kill her. The producers want her dead, but nothing comes between Jaxen and what he has laid claim to.

For the prey who loves the thrill of the hunt, because we both know you only run to get fucked harder.

When bodies are left posed like mannequins, DS Steele knows she has a serial killer on her hands. Will she survive this case? She needs to find answers before someone else gets killed. This book is a thrilling mystery which is filled with action and horror.

If you enjoy books by Karin Slaughter, Jeffery Deaver and Stuart MacBride, you will love this book.

He’s trying to tell us something, I’m certain of that, but at present all we have is the sign without the meaning, the symbol without the means to decode it. We know the word, but he’s speaking a language we haven’t learned. My fear is that he’s going to start teaching us.

A Deep Dive into the Dark World of Myers by Zepphora

Posted on by Letty Reads

Myers by Zepphora

Myers is a dark, taboo retelling of Michael Myers from the popular and, in my personal opinion, amazing Halloween films. This book follows Damien King, a 12-year-old boy who lives with his stepsister Samantha after his mother passes away. Samantha babysits Trixie long term, in that she pretty much lives there full time. Trixie is 4 years old and gets ignored by Samantha, so Damien looks after her and protects her. On Halloween night, Damien takes Trixie trick or treating. What starts as a cute night of trick or treating ends with sixteen people dead and a 12 year old boy covered in blood holding a 4 year old child in his arms. Trixie gets taken away from Damien and he spends his time between prison and the psych hospital, until he escapes and makes his way back to Chippewa Falls to reclaim what is his and destroy all those who took her from him.

I try to remind myself that babies are like dogs. They love you as long as you’re the one feeding them.
