Welcome to my weekly post, where I sum-up what I’ve been up to in bookland the past week.
It’s Wednesday so you know what that means…time to share how our reading week is shaping up! Don’t forget to leave your link in the comments for everyone to see 🙂
Now: Cut to the Bone ~ Alex Caan // The Enchanted ~ Rene Denfeld
Cut to the Bone is a fast-paced police procedural thriller that I’m enjoying a lot. The e-book is out now but the paperback is due in November. I picked The Enchanted up at work and didn’t want to put it down so I’m reading that in my breaks too.
Then: Stealing Snow ~ Danielle Paige
This started off well but went downhill 😦 My review went up on Monday. You can read it here.
Next: ???
Probably Reckless by Cornelia Funke, or Haunt Me by Liz Kessler. Both are ARCs that I’ll be reading for Horror October. They’re both YA.
New on the Shelves
For review:
Someone has begun targeting vampires.
Vampire leaders of the thirteen Houses attribute the string of recent losses to over-zealous vampire hunters. Only Cicatrice, the most ancient and powerful vampire in the world, suspects that the semi-legendary Hunter of the Dead may be the real culprit.
Carter Price, a vampire hunter who despises the way his profession is becoming centralized and corporatized, begins to suspect the Hunter of the Dead is back, too – and no longer distinguishing between vampires and mortals. Against his better judgment, Price agrees to work with Cicatrice.
The uneasy allies attempt to uncover the truth about the Hunter, while a vampire civil war brews in the background. But perhaps most difficult of all, they must contend with their new apprentices, who seem to be falling in love with each other against every rule of man and monster…
Waiting on Wednesday
(Linking up with Breaking the Spine
The Travelling Bag and other stories ~ Susan Hill

In the title story, on a murky evening in a warmly lit club off St James, a bishop listens closely as a paranormal detective recounts his most memorable case, one whose horrifying denouement took place in that very building.
In ‘The Front Room’, a devoutly Christian mother tries to protect her children from the evil influence of their grandmother, both when she is alive and when she is dead.
A lonely boy finds a friend in ‘Boy Number 21’, but years later he is forced to question the nature of that friendship, and to ask whether ghosts can perish in fires.
This is Susan Hill at her best, telling characteristically flesh-creeping and startling tales of thwarted ambition, terrifying revenge and supernatural stirrings that will leave readers wide-awake long into the night.
Expected Publication: September 29th 2016 by Profile Books

And while I have you here I’m looking for guest posts/features/reviews/spotlights for Horror October. Get in touch if you’ d like to get involved.
Even though I’m not a fan of ghost stories I love the look of the Susan Hill book & the blurb – great choice and so glad horror October will soon be with us! Here is my TWIB https://cleopatralovesbooks.wordpress.com/2016/09/21/this-week-in-books-september-21/
Thanks, me too! I’m really looking forward it this year!
‘Hunter of the Dead’ looks really good. Too bad about ‘Stealing Snow’ – I read your review. I hope you enjoy the rest of your books!
I had a bad week last week, so I skipped. Here’s this week’s post:

Thanks again for hosting! Have a great week!
Thank you! I hope you’re having a better week this week!
I am. Thanks!
Nice pick! I love short story collections. I hope you love it when you read it. I think I’ll take Stealing Snow off my list because I’ve read a lot of reviews that are telling me to run the other way. If I do try it it’ll be from the library.
That’s such a shame about Stealing Snow! I was really looking forward to it, especially after Dorothy Must Die, but I’ve seen so many people who are disappointed with it. Hopefully your October arcs will be better!
I hope so, thanks!!
Sorry for this super late comment! Been a bit of a crazy week.. Anyway, Cut To a the Bone looks right up my street, I LOVE a decent Police Procedural and will definitely be adding to my TBR list (not that it needs to get any bigger!). Shame that Stealing Snow didn’t end up being so great though! Some great picks 😎
I like the look of the Susan Hill book – it has the same style as The Little Hand.
Happy reading.
Lynn 😀
Yeah, they’re very pretty. I want them all!
