Author: Carlie Sorosiak  Genre: Contemporary, Magical Realism Original publication date: June 2018 Book Description (from Good Reads):  Ask anyone in Winship, Maine, and they’ll tell you the summer camp Quinn’s family owns is a magical place. Paper wishes hang from the ceiling. Blueberries grow in the dead of winter. According to local legend, a sea monster even lurks off the coast. Mostly, there’s just a feeling that something extraordinary could happen there. Like Quinn falling in love with her best friend, Dylan. After the accident, the magic drained from Quinn’s life. Now Dylan is gone, the camp is a lonely place, and Quinn knows it’s her fault. But the new boy in town, Alexander, doesn’t see her as the monster she believes herself to be. As Quinn lets herself open up again, she begins to understand the truth about love, loss, and monsters—real and imagined. Thoughts: This book was ot bad but not exactly what I was feeling like reading at the moment.  It had a dual

Author: John Katzenbach Genre: Mystery / Thriller Original publication date: January 2002 Book description:  'Happy fifty-third birthday, Doctor. Welcome to the first day of your death. You ruined my life. And now I fully intend to ruin yours. 'You have exactly one fortnight, starting tomorrow morning at 6 a.m., to discover who I am. When you succeed you must purchase one of those tiny ads at the bottom of the New York Times front page, and print my name there. 'If you do not succeed, then ... you will take note that the second sheet of this letter contains the names of fifty-two of your relatives. If you are unable to purchase the ad as described, then you will have this choice: kill yourself immediately or I will destroy one of these innocent people.' Until the moment he opens the letter, New York psychologist Dr Frederick Starks has led a quiet and, so he believes, blameless life. He has no idea why he's being judged by this unknown tormentor a former patien

Author: Maggie Stiefvater Genre: Magical Realism Original publication date: Book Description ( from Good Reads):  Now that the ley lines around Cabeswater have been woken, nothing for Ronan, Gansey, Blue, and Adam will be the same. Ronan, for one, is falling more and more deeply into his dreams, and his dreams are intruding more and more into waking life. Meanwhile, some very sinister people are looking for some of the same pieces of the Cabeswater puzzle that Gansey is after. Thoughts: *Characters: 9.5 For the main characters the friendship, their personalities feel so complete and round. Yet the secondary characters, such as Karvinski, the older and younger Lynch brothers, well they all have their something. They all very realistic and you end up caring about them. *Logic: 9.0 They are looking for magic and impossible but it is done so realistically, they know it's impossible they doubt and hope. It's very reasonable XD (see what I did there!) Plot: 8.0 There is

Author: Fernando Trujillo  Genre: Thriller, Paranormal Original Publication date: March 2018 Book description (from the synopsis of the ebook): My name is Dani and its not easy to tell my story. I've heard it's best to start in the beginning, so that what I'll do, literally. I'll start with the first memory I have, which is also the best sensation I've felt in my life. I doubt that it'll be understood because only someone like me can remember everything.  Thoughts: *Characters: 8.5 Most of the characters were not very explored but in a way that makes sense since it was told from the perspective of a single one of them. Also in his nature, Dani did not really understand other al that well so it is excused that most of the side characters were so little developed or explored. *Logic: 7.0 The way it went, it made sense for the most part, but there were a lot of things that were not explained, about the nature of the creatures, the way they were discove
