Fresh New Books February 24, 2026 | Kiss Your $ Goodbye!

Image
         New Books Because You Deserve Them! This is where I spotlight the sparkling new weekly releases that are tempting me so you can succumb to temptation too. The focus will be on dark fiction and romance with the occasional thriller tossed in that catches my eye. For a short while I was posting all the horror books I could find but there are too many of them and it was taking up too much of my reading time. Unless there is a really slow week, going forward I'll only showcase the ones I plan on eventually reading. HORROR.  HORROR-adjacent & THRILLERS Dollface by Lindy Ryan Barbie meets Scream with a 90s nostalgia twist in this horror romp from Bless Your Heart author Lindy Ryan. Horror author Jill has just moved to suburban New Jersey, hoping to fit in with the new PTA moms and maybe not weird everyone out with her Final Girl coffee mug. You know. Make some real friends. But then a plastic face-masked serial killer begins slashing their way through...

No Child of Mine by Nichelle Giraldes | Dark Fiction Review

Image
The one that nearly fell through the cracks . . . My 2 Cents for Free! No Child of Mine by Nichelle Giraldes Released September 2023 Source: Netgalley See more @  Goodreads This is a very late review (sorry author, publisher & Netgalley) because I needed a long break from arc reviews. I’m not sure what drew me to this title two years ago but it was probably the haunting cover. It looks pretty spooky but that baby carriage and the blurb should’ve clued me in. The story is pretty much as the blurb promises. A pregnancy drama with spooky overtones but unfortunately for me it was heavier on the pregnancy drama than the spooky and probably because of that it really dragged in spots. There are two timelines featuring two different couples and for nearly the entire book I had no idea how they tied together. It was a little jarring as they switched back and forth with little tying them together but eventually everything came together. I can’t say it all worked for me but I didn’t hate ...

Blackwater: The Complete Saga by Michael McDowell | Horror Fiction Review

Image
This was originally published in 6 installments. I'm reviewing it as a novel because that's how I listened to it. My 2 Cents for Free! Blackwater by Michael McDowell Released August 1983 Source: Audible Purchase See more @  Goodreads Wow, this was a long one! My attention span of late has been dismal but despite that I decided now would be the best time to tackle a 30-hour saga. I mean, it was either going to hold my attention or I could DNF yet another one. 2025 was the year for getting through my old tbr's so why not? Surprisingly, this absolute doorstopper of a book that often went on about nothing at all but daily dramas featuring a wealthy and very dysfunctional family, that was less horror than family drama, managed to grab me and hold me all the way through to the very end. It has a little weird thread running through it but it's very much a southern family drama where the women are the ones in control. Maybe that's why I enjoyed it so much. These people were...
