    Camp Damascus ARC Review

    They’ll scare you straight to hell. –GoodReads My Review This was everything I love in a thriller. It was just scary enough to keep me reading for more and the premise was absolutely amazing. It is plausible enough which is what it makes so terrifying. In a God-fearing community like…

  • Sparkling Cyanide: Film VS. Book

    Sparkling Cyanide: Film VS. Book

    Six people sit down to a sumptuous meal at a table laid for seven. In front of the empty place is a sprig of rosemary- “rosemary for remembrance.” A strange sentiment considering no one is likely to forget the night, exactly a year ago, that Rosemary Barton died at exactly…
