I’ve posted these tips almost every year, but I wanted to repost them since it’s about that time again, and I always have things to add! This will be my sixth year attending the festival and I am SO FREAKING EXCITED. The past five years have been chaotic, but SO FUN! This festival is non-negotiable in my schedule and I look forward to it every single year! You can see my recap of the last couple years here. PRE-ORDER YOUR BOOKS […]
![[Horror October] Review: Pitch Dark by Courtney Alameda](http://novelheartbeat.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/pitch-dark-250x200.jpg)
Holy WOW, that was intense!!!! I have to admit that this one started out a bit rocky. When I first met Tuck, it seemed like his narrative was trying too hard to be a cocky teenage male.

I loved the idea that three women, who were drowned in the sea for being accused of witches, come back every year to seek revenge on the town that killed them. So awesome!! This book was so beautiful […]
