Monsters Exist by Theresa Braun (Book Review #259)
Master Vermin is a story about rats with a surprising ending. Legend Trippers is an urban legend where a Goat man entices his victims in front of a running train. The Murder of Crows is about a woman who gets into a taxi where the driver has a secret. The trend of stories carries on, all containing delightful and delicious endings. The content is definitely not suitable for everyone. If you are a murder mystery fan and enjoy horror stories then this book is right up your alley.
The literary standard was in good standing and I believe the authors have done a great job accomplishing this project together. Every story stands alone and together creates this thrilling journey of a ride.
I recommend this book to anyone that enjoys nail biting stories.

Born for Adversity by Keith Julius (Book Review #261)
The mystery then began, unfolding what this family goes through in the events that happen afterward. The story is written in a very heartfelt way and it is impossible for the reader to remain impartial about the whole endeavor.
The character development was achieved in a very well manner. It Included the children’s feelings and described everything in detail. This created a suspenseful and very intriguing notion for the reader wanting to find out what is going to happen next.
I was not expecting anything less from this author since I had read his third book, I knew that the quality of work was not going to be anything less.
I recommend this book to young adult readers and fiction lovers.

When houses burn by Lauren Lee (Book Review #262)
When houses burn is a psychological thriller written about Dr. Delilah Hedley. Delilah is unable to have children and this is taking a harsh toll on her life and marriage. As she is at work with a new patient, Luke, she begins to discover that he is an ex-murderer. At the same time, there is a body found dead in the river. Against all codes, Delilah falls for this mysterious man and that is when the story becomes a thrilling endeavor.
The book is sectioned off into two parts. Part one consisted of chapters that were either from the past or present. This created a chance for the reader to stop every time and have to change their train of thoughts back to the past or the present. I believe although the content within each chapter was written very well and had a smooth pace to it, the connectivity of the novel was lost due to the constant back and for-thing.
The novel, however, was excellent. The literature standard was beautifully written and the character development, I believe is what makes this book stand out from others. Multiple personalities, thrilling adventure, twists and turns in the plot and hidden agendas were just a few to be mentioned.
One very intriguing factor about the book was that I thoroughly enjoyed Lucus, the villain of the story. Only a great writer can leave such an impression on the reader and have them bond with such a horrid character, without feeling guilty about it.
I recommend this book to Psychological Thriller fans.

Fractured Past by D. E. Chapman (Book Review #278)
The story begins with an immense amount of backstory and world building. The descriptive nature of the world is very well built and is explained in detail creating the foundations for a stronger sequel events of stories. The lead character is strong yet has her girly attributes. The ranking and division between the villagers, humans, species were fascinating. I found the whole ordeal to be intriguing and wanted to everything that there was about the categorization.
The literature was strong, and it was clear that the author had done her research. There weren’t any loopholes or odd encounters questioning the plot. The side stories and character building was strong enough to add content and richness to the plot. I particularly enjoyed the part where the author decided to go back and forth with the storytelling adding delicious content to substantiate the already heavy detailed storyline.
I rarely comment on the cover, but this one needs to be mentioned as one of the best I have seen. There is a certain appeal in the cover, title and the way it is structured and therefore, is worth mentioning.
I recommend this book for fantasy lovers that enjoy cliffhangers.
