Mine by LM Kaplin



Releases August 10, 2023



If you aren’t familiar with LM Kaplin, you should change that, quickly. If you are looking for an author that can write a story smoothly and can articulate the characters perfectly, then Kaplin is definitely one to check out.



Mine is a story of lonely outcast, Chandler Henricks, who wants nothing more than to have a perfect wife and a perfect life. Chandler takes care of his ailing mother for part of his day, and the rest of his day is spent watching his neighbors. He imagines what their life is like, giving them all a story. Some of them he has watched for so long, he knows quite a lot about their lives. His next-door neighbor, Samantha, is the woman of his dreams. He knows he can be a good husband. He just needs a chance to prove it to her. So, when a chance comes about that he can show her that he loves her the way no one else ever can, he takes the plunge and shows her how much he cares for her. 



LM Kaplin did a superb job in writing a stalker/disturbed story that flows well and keeps you engaged. This isn’t a gory or jump-scare kind of story. This is a horror story of what your neighbor could be capable of. A story of ‘stranger-danger’ that quickly escalates to stalker- in-your-home-and-you-can’t-leave story. The twists and turns, the amount of anguish and anxiety were at a perfect level throughout.



I want to add, if you like vampire stories, he has a fantastic short story collection of vampires (Fang Fiction) that I highly recommend as well as Mine. I eagerly await his next book!

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...

At Home with the Horrors by Sammy Scott

  This book of short stories is fabulous! I enjoyed every single story. They varied in true sense of horror, but they all had horrific endings, most you won’t see coming. What We Have Here is a heartwarming and terrifying story about a married couple who have some communication problems.  Theresa is a never ending love story. This one will stick with me for a long time.  Blackbird is when a dream becomes a nightmare.  In the short story Sisters, a daughter needs help moving her mom to a retirement home. The mom doesn’t want to leave the home she grew up in. Peeping Tommy is your average neighborhood boogeyman. Or is he…. In Becca ; Becca and Bryan need help with someone watching their house at night. He keeps standing there staring and then starts to make some noises.  Sleeptalker is an odd story about talking in your sleep. The couple use their phone to record what is being said. Re-birth is an outstanding story. I don’t want to give anything away, but the t...

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! Even if you don't draw all of the cats, this is definitely a must-have for all cat lovers!
