Wow, I haven't done one of these in a while. I used to do them to showcase some odd, fun and unusual books I had placed on hold on added to my Kindle Unlimited Wish List or with my local library. To celebrate Summer of Horror, I am showcasing three books which are currently available on KU which I just added to my long wish list. At least I am using my KU subscription more this year, which was on of my goals, so that's a plus!
FROM GOODREADS: Autumn 1983. Michael Jackson’s Thriller dominates the charts. Tom Cruise slides across the floor in his underpants. Mr. T pities the fool. And on the campus of Boston’s Holbrook University, Nathan Harrington is pretty sure he’s turning into a werewolf.
Nathan had a plan. Graduate with honors, marry a trophy wife, run for office. Then he met Gretchen Stump – AKA “The Dog Girl” – the hirsute transfer student from East Nowhere, Maine.
Gretchen and Nathan are from different worlds. Perhaps even different species. They make no sense together. And yet, they can’t stay away from each other.
But Gretchen has a secret. And under the orange glow of the full harvest moon – Nathan learns the truth. Gretchen isn’t like other humans. She’s cursed. And she may have just passed that curse on to him.
Now his hair and nails grow faster than he can trim them. His sense of smell is astonishing. Exposure to the moon makes his skin itch. He blacks out at night, waking up in strange places.
And there’s been a murder on campus. A violent mauling.
FROM GOODREADS: The party is over. The nightmare has only just begun.
Kelsey Stone was supposed to be the responsible one, but one wrong turn has led her and her mismatched group of friends deep into a dead zone in the Ozark hills.
When their van wheezes its final breath on a narrowing gravel road, they find themselves stranded in a forest that feels less like Missouri and more like a haunted set from a B-grade horror film.
Through the thick mist and the driving rain, they find a beacon of an empty but stately house that offers shelter in the least and maybe a line to the outside world.
The group, however, soon discovers they aren't just guests inside this dwelling; they are cogs in a much larger, sinister machine and they must face a gauntlet of unthinkable terrors. In a world where the trees are closing in, and the very floor can become a death trap, Kelsey and her friends must fight to survive unspeakable horrors.
FROM GOODREADS: Some secrets are better left buried…
When a group of six strangers are invited into the woods for a content creator retreat where they’re guaranteed to make money, it seems like a perfect escape. However, as accidents turn into incidents and blood begins to spill, they start to suspect they were lured into the wilderness for a reason. Is someone messing with them? Is someone watching them? Who will survive?
Are you ready to play?
Do any of these catch your eye and which one would you read first? I have heard wonderful things about Judith Sonnet, but it's hard to ignore the 80's vibes of Hungry Like the Wolf.
