Is there any better way to beat the dog days of summer than with a chilling story? Personally, I don’t think so. To that end, I’m over the moon excited to read The Rattled Bones, by S.M. Parker. This eerie book follows Rilla Brae, a tough-as-nails young woman embroiled in an eerie mystery surrounding an island […]

“Pride and Prejudice meets Animal Planet’s Finding Bigfoot” After reading the tagline of Sasquatch, Love, and other Imaginary Things I knew I had to pick up this book. The rest of the summary gets even better. Hunting for monsters was never so awkward. It’s bad enough that Samantha’s parents, charter members of the Northern Ohio Bigfoot […]

If the zombie apocalypse hits, you’ll need to know what to call the undead creatures that have taken over your neighborhood. You wouldn’t want to be the clueless person running around shouting, “Please, someone help me, there’s a…thing…after me!”  To that end, here is a helpful glossary of the wide range of zombie monikers used […]

Like This? Try this! Why? First of all, both of these intoxicating sagas come from the same genius mind: L. J. Smith. The TV show Vampire Diaries is based on her book series of the same name. One thing I love about TVD is that there are so many storylines going on, and I’m invested […]

I fell into a pretty bad reading slump a while back. You know what I’m talking about: it’s that feeling of not being able to find anything that really grabs your interest, even as you have a TBR pile a mile high to read. It was a particularly hard time for me because I’m someone who usually […]

It has been over 3 months since Lord of Shadows, the second book in the Dark Artifices series, released, and I am STILL thinking about this series. I want everyone to know about it and love it as much as I do. So if you’ve read my first list of Reasons to Read Lady Midnight […]

If you haven’t read Lady Midnight yet, you should seriously reconsider your life choices because it is so, so amazing. I could ramble on and on about all the reasons you should pick up this book right now, but I don’t know if they’d let me write more posts for Riveted after that. Instead, I’ve […]

Guess who’s back and ready to spoil another book with her powers of prediction? Me, obvs. Honestly, I’m getting so good at it that I don’t even have to read books anymore. Well ok, I still do, but it’s just to prove that I’m right. Or *ahem* ok…so maybe I wasn’t exactly right last time…but […]

So far I am loving Riveted’s Summer of Supernatural! We’re spending these two weeks celebrating everything mystical, mysterious, or unexplainable with some great free reads and extended excerpts (check them out here!) One of my favorite things about the different supernatural worlds that these books inhabit is that they all work on their own set […]

Samantha Berger, the protagonist of Sasquatch, Love, and Other Imaginary Things finds her parents completely embarrassing. But her parents aren’t the usual brand of whipping-out-the-baby-photos-to-boyfriends humiliating — they’re Bigfoot hunters who spend most of their weeks trekking through the wilds of Ohio in search of the illusive Sasquatch. To make matters even more blush-inducing for […]
