This is a spooky slow burn. Violet by Scott Thomas Released September 2019 Dark Fiction   |   Goodreads   |   Amazon   Source: Received for Review Consideration In the lineage of Peter Straub's Julia, Scott Thomas’ Violet is the disturbing tale of a woman haunted by her long-abandoned imaginary friend. For many children, the summer of 1988 was filled with sunshine and laughter. But for ten-year-old Kris Barlow, it was her chance to say goodbye to her dying mother. Three decades later, loss returns—her husband killed in a car accident. And so, Kris goes home to the place where she first knew pain—to that summer house overlooking the crystal waters of Lost Lake. It’s there that Kris and her eight-year-old daughter will make a stand against grief. But a shadow has fallen over the quiet lake town of Pacington, Kansas.

My little holiday vacation turned out to be an extended vacation due to two full days of snow and messiness. Who can complain about two extra days off?  I got a little reading done and it was nice to relax but the Christmas stress is now full upon me and keeping me up at night. There's also something weird going on with my dog's tail that is worrying me but I'm hoping it's a minor sprain because he is a monster at the vet! I hope you've all been able to sneak in some reading. Here's whats up next in the TBR:  Next up is THE CULT CALLED FREEDOM HOUSE by Stephanie Evelyn. This was a pick for the December  Goodreads Ladies of Horror Fiction group so I had to bump it ahead. I like a good cult story so I'm looking forward to starting it. Soon I'll be reading  HOW TO SURVIVE A HORROR MOVIE  by Seth Grahame-Smith. This is an updated version - I guess it came out a few years ago but I missed it then and my review is super late (ahhh!).

I skipped doing this last week because my reading time has been sliced down to 20 minutes a day the past few weeks. I hope I can make up for all of those lost pages tonight before falling asleep again! Up next in the TBR:  Next up is  VIOLET by Scott Thomas who wrote  KILL CREEK . There's been a lot of buzz and good reviews surrounding this one so I'm excited. Also up soon is THE DEAD GIRLS CLUB by Damien Angelica Walters. Sorry for the crap picture. Daylight savings time stole my photo time *cries*. Currently Reading: THE HUNGRY ONES by Chris Sorensen is my current read. I'm only about 85 pages into it because this week has been exhausting. But I'm enjoying the motel hell plotline! It picks up after the events of the THE NIGHTMARE ROOM so if you haven't read that one yet, you might want to do so before starting this one. What's up next for you?
