If I could use one word to describe this book, it would be….gross. But like, in the most delightful way possible! (If you like gory stuff, that is. If you don’t, this book is absolutely not for you.) I love really dark disturbing shit, so this one was right up my alley! I loved how grotesque and gruesome this book was. I knew in the first chapter I was going to love that part of the story. And love it I […]
This one started off extremely slow, and I was lamenting the fact that there will never be another Harrow book to rival The Ten Thousand Doors of January. I was actually considering possibly DNFing in the beginning. It took forever, but thankfully it picked up right around the 35% mark. And when it picked up, it picked up HARD!! If it weren’t for the extremely slow beginning, this absolutely would have been a 5 star book for me. Anyway, from […]
This book was awesome! It had a very Bird Box meets Some Quiet Place feel to it, but was wholly unique and stands out on its own. I’m honestly shocked that the ratings for this book are so low. For once I was the black sheep in a good way! My main complaint is that I didn’t connect to the characters like I’d hoped to. The only one I really cared about was the dog, Jake. And it’s not that […]
![[Horror October] Review: The Dark Descent of Elizabeth Frankenstein by Kiersten White](http://novelheartbeat.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/dark-descent-of-elizabeth-frankenstein-250x200.jpg)
Did I read an entirely different book than everyone else read?! I am 1000% disappointed in this. This is the second Kiersten white novel that didn’t work for me, and I confess I’m starting to lose faith in her books. For being a rather short book, it was INSANELY boring. Basically nothing happened for 95% of this book. The first exciting scene is nearly 70 pages in (in the ARC, anyway), then the next thing to happen is yet another […]
I have heard of this book through many bloggers, and have seen TONS of glowing reviews for it. I’ve seen people talk about how it changed their life. (This was actually my first foray into the Middle Grade genre.) Honestly, I don’t even know how to review and rate this because this book didn’t really do anything for me. It was deep…almost too deep for the audience it was meant for. But at the same time, it felt like kind of […]
This book was very tough to rate for me. I had extremely bipolar thoughts about this book, and the rating should be broken down as such: Scenes with the Anthropophagi Scenes without the Anthropophagi It’s no secret that I am NOT a fan of historical by any means, and I had no clue going into this that it would be historical (I saw Rick Yancey + gruesome horror and didn’t bother to read anymore). So, I was bored to tears in the […]
