𝔹𝕠𝕠𝕜 ℝ𝕖𝕧𝕚𝕖𝕨-- Do you like the outdoors? What was your last outdoor adventure? Sometimes I wish we were more outdoorsy but honestly I love all the time I have to sit inside and read my books because my husband and I are both serious introverts and major home bodies. However, we do love the occasional easy hike and walk our dog everyday. Today on the blog I'm sharing my review of The River Has Teeth by @ericawatersbooks Thank you to @harperteen and @netgalley for the early copy. From my review: "This southern gothic dark fantasy novel is more than just a good mystery though. It simmers with feminist rage and female power as Della and Natasha unravel the truth behind the evil that stalks the woods" Head on over to the blog to check out my full spoiler free review and find the synopsis of the novel below! SYNOPSIS Girls have been going missing in the woods… When Natasha’s sister disappears, Natasha desperately turns to Della, a local girl rumored to be a witch, in the hopes that magic will bring her sister home. But Della has her own secrets to hide. She thinks the beast who’s responsible for the disappearances is her own mother—who was turned into a terrible monster by magic gone wrong. Natasha is angry. Della has little to lose. Both are each other’s only hope. #theriverhasteeth #darkfantasy #yahorror #ericawaters #bookreview #bookstagram #authorspotlight https://www.instagram.com/p/CSYRT6vL6O4/?utm_medium=tumblr

𝔸𝕦𝕥𝕙𝕠𝕣 𝕊𝕡𝕠𝕥𝕝𝕚𝕘𝕙𝕥- Have you attended an author event recently? Who was it for?

𝕋𝕙𝕖𝕞𝕖𝕕 ℝ𝕖𝕔𝕠𝕞𝕞𝕖𝕟𝕕𝕒𝕥𝕚𝕠𝕟𝕤-- Have you ever lived in or visited a supposedly haunted place? The first apartment we ever lived in had a pentagram on the back of the door that had been painted over. As atheists, my husband and I joked about it and how creepy it was. My skepticism about the reality of hauntings does not preclude me from enjoy books featuring hauntings and haunted places. Today on the blog I'm kicking off my three post series featuring @ericawatersbooks and her sophomore novel: The River Has Teeth with readalikes for the book The River Has Teeth is infused with a creepiness around the woods and marsh where the story is set. So of course, I had to recommend one of my favorite creepy woods novels: Strange Grace by @tessa.gratton Head on over to the blog to see what other books and themes comprise my list and check out the synopsis of Strange Grace below! SYNOPSIS Once, a witch made a pact with a devil. The legend says they loved each other, but can the story be trusted at all? Find out in this lush, atmospheric fantasy novel that entwines love, lies, and sacrifice. Long ago, a village made a bargain with the devil: to ensure their prosperity, when the Slaughter Moon rises, the village must sacrifice a young man into the depths of the Devil’s Forest. Only this year, the Slaughter Moon has risen early. Bound by duty, secrets, and the love they share for one another, Mairwen, a spirited witch; Rhun, the expected saint; and Arthur, a restless outcast, will each have a role to play as the devil demands a body to fill the bargain. But the devil these friends find is not the one they expect, and the lies they uncover will turn their town—and their hearts—inside out. #themedrecommendations #bookrecs #bookrecommendation #bookrec #ericawaters #strangegrace #creepysetting https://www.instagram.com/p/CRrZAHjL5cG/?utm_medium=tumblr

{#bookreview}🔹Ghost Wood Sing🔹Erica Waters 🔹2020🔹368 p. 🔹YA, Paranormal-Mystery🔹🏅 🧶Synopsis: If I could have a fiddle made of Daddy’s bones, I’d play it. I’d learn all the secrets he kept. Shady Grove inherited her father’s ability to call ghosts from the grave with his fiddle, but she also knows the fiddle’s tunes bring nothing but trouble and darkness. But when her brother is accused of murder, she can’t let the dead keep their secrets. In order to clear his name, she’s going to have to make those ghosts sing. 💭Opinion: Waters' debut novel, is a dark story full of mystery and ghosts that will haunt you to finish it and want more of this author!! This story covers so many subjects like, abusive households, grief and sexual identity, drug/alcohol/mental abuse, that are important to be mentioned in our days. Besides the spooky atmosphere, and everything that happens, the story isn't distressful, on the contrary the pace moves quickly with new leads and the main character trying to balance between her family and friends, and trying to find love. I loved the writing style of Erica Waters and surely I will read her next books!! ✨A-Z Challenge, book starting from G #magicalrealism #paranormal #ghostwoodsong #ericawaters #yabooks #fantasyfictionbooks #bookstagram #booklover #books #bookphotigraphy #blackandgold #newpost #booklovers #bookstagrammer #booksbooksbooks #booksoninstagram #bookobsessed #bookblogger #booklove #bookaddict #bookblog #reading #bookishlife #bookcommunity #instabook #tbr #readingchallenge2021 #popsugarreadingchallenge2021 https://www.instagram.com/p/CNj492urJtD/?igshid=1xbyuibkmg2u2
