Briardark by S. A. Harian



 This was quite a story to get lost in. It took me a bit to really get into the story, but once it got going, it was definitely worth reading. The character development was great, the world setting was brilliant, and the story became bewitching. It is about an expedition that does not go according to plan. 


Dr. Siena Dupont and her team, also her personal friends, are on an expedition to the Alpenglow glacier. Siena, Cameron, Isaac, and Emmett, are met with odd occurrences and try to piece together what is happening. First, the glacier is completely gone. Second, there is a dead body hanging in a tree. Third, a couple of them keep seeing shadows in the forest. 


While the four are exploring and trying to understand what is happening, far away, Holden Sharpe, who works in the IT department of a University, comes across some audio files that Dr. Dupont recorded and somehow found their way to Holden. He and a co-worker, Angel, are also putting together what has happened to Dr. Dupont and her team. 


Unfortunately, this book stops on a cliffhanger. I would have preferred a conclusion to this story of some sort, but I can understand that with the length of this first novel, it is best to break it into two novels. I will most definitely be reading the second book. I need to know what is happening, how everyone is connected to the events.


I would consider this book to be a light horror novel. There are lots of anxious scenes, a lot of foreboding thoughts and feelings, and an overall sense of dread toward the end of the story. I have a feeling the second one will be darker and lots more action. 


Thank you #NetGalley and #CompassandFern for sending me the ebook. I really did enjoy this one!

Intergalactic Exterminators, Inc by Ash Bishop

  Thank you to #NetGalley, #AshBishop, and #VictoryEditing for letting me read and review #IntergalacticExterminatorInc.  Russ and Nina are in need of some financial help and a break from the stress of just trying to live a regular life. Then one day, Russ finds a rare gem in his late grandfather’s book shop. He asks his grandmother about the stone, and she does not know anything about it. She tells Russ to take it to Nina, who might know what it is. Only, Nina has no clue, as well. Thus begins a story unlike any Earthling could imagine. This story gave me many Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy vibes. There is planetary traveling, portals, humor, odd creatures, witty banter and a smidgeon of romance.  If you enjoy the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy and need something similar, I highly recommend Intergalactic Exterminators, Inc. There is so much potential for more of this story, I am hoping for a series. I would love to learn more about the Intergalactic Exterminators cre...

The Trunk by Mia Dalia

  This was a crazy story! It starts out smooth as molasses and then gets all twisted and dark. It’s one of those stories that escalates quickly going all outta left field. Bogdan and his wife buy their first home together and it comes with a basement… with a trunk in the basement. Nothing else is down in the basement but this weird trunk. He doesn’t think too much of it at first. Until he finally decides to open the trunk. Mia Dalia writes fantastic stories. She has quite an imagination to give her stories lots of twists and turns. She told me once that she enjoys psychology and I think she writes with that in mind. Her writing style invokes humanity’s inner demons and pushes the mind to harrowing events. If you are in the mood for a quick horror story with a psychological twist, you need to read The Trunk and Smile So Red by Mia; she will dig into your brain.

From there on, the author shows up 101 ways to draw a cat. Such as a cat dragon, a mushroom cat, a cat cabbage, and cats drawn as zodiac signs!
