I'm Steph and I've been blogging about books at Bookshine and Readbows blog since 2017. I am open to reading most fiction genres, but my personal favourites are fantasy and crime.

Horrific Tales for a Horrific Year by Jack T Canis
Worldbuilding: Piqued curiosity
Plot: Mostly clear Characters: Some more thought out than others
Storytelling: Balanced
Immersion: Satisfying, fulfilling experience Emotional Response: Strong emotions
Thought Provoking: New ideas came up
Cover: Matches the story well Content Warnings: Psychopathy, sociopathy, rape, animal abuse, child abuse, torture, murder Name your trigger and it is probably in here somewhere! There is not a flicker of goodness or hope to be seen in the tenebrous gloom of this exploration into the worst of humanity. Only the darkest and most horrific readers need apply! Reviewed on |
