With a spirit called “She Who Creeps Between”, there’s no question that She Waits Where Shadows Gather by Michelle Tang is going to stick with me for a while. She Waits Where Shadows Gather  is a Filipino Gothic horror novel complete with a haunted house, Filipino folklore, and a fractured family.

My cats demand breakfast each morning about 2 hours before my alarm is set, and sometimes I'll play a podcast repeat or music or something when I get back in bed. What does this have to do with This Story Might Save Your Life by Tiffany Crum?

I made the mistake of playing this audiobook instead of music, and I could not stop listening.

I Know a Place by Nat Cassidy was a real roller-coaster. You never really know what you're in for with a story collection (also, for what it's worth, with Nat Cassidy), and this one really messed with me. I mean, I should have paid more attention to the subtitle, I guess, Rest Stop and Other Dark Detours because...yeah.
