{I've Been Reading} When the Wolf Comes Home

 When the Wolf Comes Home by Nat Cassidy 

This is the wildest, most  wonderful horror novel I've read in absolutely ages! I skipped the trigger warnings at the beginning of the book because sometimes I find myself distracted from the story while I'm expecting that awful thing I was warned about. It's a gory book. Seriously awful things happen, but most of it is too cartoonish and over the top to be upsetting.... there are other, more subtle, more upsetting things hiding in these pages. It uses ideas from some of my favorite stories in the genre, but telling you which ones would involve spoiling the fun and that's the LAST thing I'd want to do.

Serial Killer Games by Kate Posey

It takes one to know one and when Delores sees the new office temp, she's thrilled. Jake Ripper just has to be a serial killer. The book alternates between the two of them, giving the reader odd glimpses of what Delores and Jake are hiding from each other and  the rest of the world. They think they know what they're getting into...but they're wrong. It reminded me of You, with a much more cheerful slant, and although I enjoyed most of it, my interest started to wane a bit as the story went on.
