This took way too long, but here you go! Part of an art trade
(2015)Another film about older men and younger women. I originally watched this because I wanted to watch more of Kip Pardue’s work. This is off the mark. The manic energy of this film is so cringe and tense. Not long after the story begins, you wonder what will be the peak of this mess. It’s spirals and spirals and spirals the whole fucking time. It’s just uncomfortable.
Btw RIP to Kip’s career.
This 1972 movie is about a man using snakes to get revenge on people. It’s not a good movie for a few reasons.
1. The story is lacking
2. The acting is very poor
3. There is a horrible scene of this man going nuts and ACTUALLY killing his own snakes. It’s real and it’s makes my stomach upset even thinking about it.
I would never recommend this to anyone and if I did? I’d be purposely trying to upset them. Uck.

Eleanor walks in on her cruel grandmother Vivianne’s murder, but her prosopagnosia (inability to recognize faces) leaves her unable to identify who she saw.The introduction puts you right in that police interview room after the crime before going back in time to the events that led up to that room. Now five months later, still with no idea who could be the killer or how close they are, Eleanor has inherited one of her grandmother’s homes and everything helps to contribute to the creepy, atmospheric power of this read.
This book alternates between Anushka in 1965 and Eleanor present day. This book was a great read! From the creepy inherited manor to the discovered diaries, never knowing who it was that Eleanor walked in on murdering her grandmother, and the alternating stories. I think sometimes, especially early on before you get truly invested, that back and forth with the time can feel like it’s giving you whiplash, but once you get started, you’re in!
Thank you to Netgalley, St. Martins Press, and Camilla Sten for this advanced review copy.

A Flicker in the Dark features Chloe Davis, who at 12 years old was living in a small town where girls were disappearing all summer, only for her father to be arrested at the end of summer for all of their murders. Now nearing the 20 year anniversary, Chloe is a psychologist in private practice, engaged— only for young girls to start going missing all over again.
The beginning of this novel really draws you in and makes you keep turning pages! Chloe turns out to be a very unreliable narrator, one who is grasping onto her happiness. The plot is really interesting and atmospheric reads are my absolute favorite. While the book gets to a point where it isn’t as page-turning as it initially was, it does constantly keep you trying to figure out the plot and guess what’s going on, and it does pick up and grip you again! I thought the ending was satisfying and the best plots are ones that make sense to a certain degree when you figure out what really happened/is happening, like this one did.
This was a great read from one of my favorite publishers recently; they have just been a powerhouse of putting out some of my recent favorite thrillers! I’m in a cabin in the middle of the mountains with almost no internet so I missed publication day by a day, but happy publication day! Thank you so much to Minotaur Books, Stacy Willingham, and NetGalley for this copy.

Amazing, twisting plot.
A copycat serial killer is murdering people, each different in method but all famous cases from the past. Detectives Cara Elliott and Noah Deakin are trying to hunt down the true killer. At the same time Jessica Ambrose is on the run after being accused of being the arsonist who set the fire killing her husband. With the help of suspended detective Nate Griffin, she discovers a shocking connection to the copycat killer and the arson.
A culmination of crimes committed all leading up to one tantalizing finale. This is apparently Sam Holland’s debut novel, and it was a very thought out plot. There are murders, plot twists, darkness, suspicion, shifting tension, and all of the things that make a great thriller. I was definitely glued to this book— I had to know who did it!
One of my favorite things about a book is when they have amazing, well rounded, flawed characters. The one things that dragged for me about this book was that some of the main characters started off hard to empathize with and/or were borderline unlikable. After dipping into the plot more, this didn’t matter as much, but I do find that liking the characters and rooting them makes a book SO much better, because then you’re rooting for them to win, you’re hurting when they hurt, you’re overall getting all of the emotions that a great book makes you feel. I think that would have put this book over the top.
Thank you to Sam Holland, HarperCollins, and NetGalley for the pleasure of getting to read an arc of this book.
