The Mystery Behind the Final Girls
A lot of descriptions that I read for the book, Final Girls compared it to a slasher movie. After reading the book, I can see why. The premise is the same.

Watery Graves: Two Not-So-Scary Books
Every year I struggle to find books this time of year. I love Halloween, but I don’t care to be scared. I was always the kid who cried at the haunted house (and by kid I mean just last year).

The Mystery Behind The Sister
In the wake of her best friend Charlie’s death, Grace goes on a mission to find Charlie’s father. Things aren’t what they seem, though, and soon Grace starts to question what’s really going on. If you enjoyed The Girl on the Train, I think you’ll enjoy Louise Jensen’s debut novel, The Sister.
