The Misery House (The House on the Hill Book 1) by David Kummer – Review by Jennifer Gordon

The Misery House (The House on the Hill, #1)The Misery House by David Duane Kummer
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A gripping psychological thriller which did keep me on the edge of my seat! Set in the small rural town of New Haven and told from different characters points of view, this unsettling story was one which I could not put down. The Woods family have lived in the town forever and are as shocked as everyone else when a string of tragedies occur. First the local store burns down with two bodies inside and then a newlywed couple go missing, and there does not appear to be any leads, leaving the townsfolk worried. When the close knit Woods family’s own children and their friends are put in danger they are willing to risk everything to find out what is going on. Throughout the story the abandoned, creepy and known to be haunted house sits on the hill, this seems to be where the secrets of the town might be discovered. However, it may be too late for the Woods family and the town. The likeable and relatable Woods family had me captivated from page one, whilst the claustrophobic feel of the setting along with the chilling haunted house were brought vividly to life through the descriptive narrative. I felt completely immersed in this novel, the suspense and terror really built chapter by chapter, and the plot twists and turns kept me guessing as to the outcome of the story. This was a real page turner and as it ends with a cliffhanger, I am now impatiently waiting for book two in this trilogy!

The Silent Forest (The House on the Hill Book 2) by David Kummer – Review by Jenni Bishop

The Silent Forest: A shocking psychological thriller with an unforgettable ending (The House on the Hill)The Silent Forest: A shocking psychological thriller with an unforgettable ending by David Kummer
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Whilst I enjoyed the first book, I found I liked this one a little more, but I found I had a few unanswered questions as this book finished. I am hoping that David reveals all in the third book though. Being the second book in The House on the Hill series David continues with the fear and creep factor, the tension, the drama, the suspense and the psychological thrills.
There are some characters you will love and others you will love to hate. There is more creepiness, more horror and more strange things happening in the town. Beware the eeriness pulls you in but having you wanting to keep your distance at the same time. The story travels slowly at first but then bam! picks up further along.
Something is out there, and it may just be darker than the night sky. The only way to find out is to read it yourself. It almost reminds me of the stories in the TV series of old The Twilight Zone. If you like psychological thrillers, then give it a go.
I wonder what book three brings.

The Book of Fears: A Collection of Short Stories by K. S. Gantt. This is an amazing book of Psychological Thriller short stories! There are several trigger warnings but they are warned ahead of time and they don’t go in too deep. I enjoy getting the pants scared off of me so this was right up my alley. They are not in your face scary but this could really happen scary, which to me is even worse! There are fears mentioned quite a bit in these stories such as the fear of needles and the fear of snakes which is my #1 fear! I thought I had snakes in my bed all night. There are twists, turns, mysteries and things that go bump in the night and its your choice if you want to face it or not! Read this fun collection to get the hairs on your neck to stand up. I loved it!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I enjoyed reading this thriller. This is a newer author for me which I enjoyed their ability to pull me into the character’s world from the start. Their twists and turns had me turning pages fast. They are connectable, strong and made the story easy to read. This is a well written story about New Haven and how the town mourns their dead but also it has its secrets. As new hope comes to light but so do secrets. The story is suspenseful and one you don’t want to miss. There is great growth throughout which makes the story hard to put down and fast paced. The characters pull you into their world with ease and keep you turning pages to the end. I really enjoyed reading this book. I look forward to reading more from this author. I highly recommend this book.

The Silent Forest (The House on the Hill Book 2) by David Kummer – Review by Jennifer Crain

The Silent Forest (The House on the Hill, #2)The Silent Forest by David Duane Kummer
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

“The Silent Forest” is a gripping and unsettling psychological thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end. Author David Kummer has crafted a masterful story that explores the darker aspects of human nature and the devastating consequences of trauma.

The story follows Kaia, a determined and resilient young woman who refuses to give up on finding her missing friend, Allison. The author’s writing is atmospheric and evocative, drawing the reader into the eerie and foreboding atmosphere of the New Haven forest.

One of the strengths of this novel is its ability to craft complex and believable characters. Kaia is a relatable and likable protagonist, and her determination to uncover the truth is both admirable and heartbreaking. The supporting cast, including the enigmatic Woods family, is equally well-developed, with each character adding depth and nuance to the story. The book was better developed, in my opinion, than book #1.

The plot is expertly paced, with a slow-burning tension that builds towards a shocking and unforgettable ending. The author’s use of misdirection and red herrings is clever, keeping the reader guessing until the very last page.

However, there are a few areas where the story could be improved. At times, the pacing feels slightly uneven, with some sections feeling rushed or dragged out. Additionally, some of the supporting characters could benefit from more development and backstory.

My name is David Kummer. I’m a young writer who leans towards horror, mystery, thrillers, and young adult fiction. My books are fast-paced, easy-to-read, with shocking twists and unpredictable endings.

My new series is The House on the Hill, a new type of haunted house trilogy focusing on one family and the small town under attack. It’s creepy enough for horror readers, but character-focused and plot-driven, so it’s perfect for anyone who enjoys a good mystery novel.

I grew up in Madison, Indiana, a small town on the Ohio River, with lots of history and settings around here that influence my books. Now I live in New Albany with my fantastic wife. When I’m not writing, I’m a full-time English teacher for 9th graders and I enjoy spending as much time as possible outdoors.

You may have read some great authors before and some fascinating books, but this is the first time you’ve had an experience like this. Try something and let me convince you.

This was definitely an entertaining read. Each short story is a different phobia that provides the theme for the story. Some of these phobias I didn’t know existed. The author weaves the phobia with the plot line extremely well. I couldn’t put the novel down! This is a must read horror collection.

Evil Sushi (Evil Sushi Series) by C.A. King – Review by Ayla Phipps

Evil Sushi (Evil Sushi #1)Evil Sushi by C.A. King
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Fiction or possible future, to a degree at least. I love C.A. King’s worlds she creates they are always so different than anything else and no two books of hers are the same. Other than their ability to fully submerge you in their world. Told from several perspectives including Rod and Ned.
Treacle is the epitome of small fishing communities. To live there is to answer the call of the sea. But times have changed in just five years, the seas are lifeless. No fish, no plants, no birds. Life tied to the water is gone. The need for food is worse now than ever before and all because people’s race to clean up the planet made them blind to the life that inhabits it. Until it was too late. Rod gets lucky, or maybe it’s unluckier when he renovates Old Bessy, his fishing boat. He finds a fissure at the bottom of the ocean. The secrets are hidden in caves, unknown fish and eggs fill it. Ned dreams of a better life for him and his daughter and all caution go to the wind. One decision changed everything.
What do they really find in those caves? Can they stop it before it’s too late? What will be left of Treacle in the end? Most of this talented authors books I can see myself living in them but honestly this one is just terrifying in all the best ways the suspense the story the growth it will truly pull you under from start to finish. Book two Sashimi, see you there.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have thoroughly enjoyed every book I’ve read by this author, so it was a no-brainer to pick this book up. They create absolutely marvelous stories within the paranormal genre which this definitely falls under. I was surprised that this was a little over 200 pages because I breezed through it effortlessly. The flow of the story is naturally smooth while being one-of-a-kind as well. There are quite a few twists and turns throughout that I didn’t see coming! I liked the characters well enough but would love more depth to add a bit more oomph to the story. Even with that tiny note, I completely loved this book. If you enjoy sci-fi, horror, dystopian, and/or paranormal books, this should be your next read!

Evil Sushi is Book One in the Evil Sushi Series. It is a paranormal suspense full of mystery, intrigue, action, adventure, greed, secrets, and good versus evil. This is yet another cleverly written book by this author that never ceases to amaze me with her unique and creative stories. When two fishermen make a discovery, it has the possibility of changing things for everyone. The question is whether that change will be for the better or worse. This newest tale takes the world of fishing and turns it upside down with its take on environmental pollution, corporate greed, pandemics, politics, and desperation. With detailed and vivid writing the author fully immerses the reader into the story and the numerous twists and turns will compel you to read until the end. Looking forward to book two!

Evil Sushi is the first book in the extraordinarily unique Evil Sushi series, by C. A. King. A truly original concept, filled with a little bit of everything, perfectly blended into one. I adored the fact that King wasn’t afraid to use the effects of climate change, and write a phenomenal supernatural thriller to call attention to it and give you one of those “what if’s” you’ll be thinking about for years. This book will definitely make you stop for a second and think, before immediately diving right back in, only to repeat the process. As someone who adores sea food itself, I assure you it’s gonna take me a while to be able to eat it again after reading this! Definitely recommend and waiting for book 2!

Irena and several close friends, including her ex-husband Jack, go out on a shipboard celebration. Things seems to be going okay but her ex doesn’t want to follow directions and wear a lifejacket. A rouge wave hits and the two of them are swept overboard. Irena makes it back aboard but her ex doesn’t. No amount of searching has brought about any signs of Jack. She is determined to find her daughters father but she is finding more questions than answers. Will Jack turn up alive or did he perish in those choppy waters? I haven’t read anything by this author before so I was hesitant to try this out. This genre is also not something I would normally choose, but the synopsis drew me in. I’m glad I took the leap because I found a good book that kept me on the edge of the seat.

This is probably my favorite from this author so far! This is a fast-paced, suspenseful read with many unexpected surprises along the way. The storyline picks up right away and keeps you turning the pages to the end. We find ourselves following longtime group of friends and a child with intertwined relationships on boat for a day trip when two go overboard and only one comes back—but the story that unfolds quickly becomes way more complicated!

I really enjoyed the pace and development of the story. The author developed the characters well and I found them to be mostly relatable—I really enjoyed the depth of the character of Irena in particular. I’m looking forward to the next one!

I have read several books by this author over the past year, and I keep coming back to their books over and over again. I was on the edge of my seat throughout this entire story! I wasn’t a fan of one of the characters in the very beginning, but I believe they’re supposed to be unlikeable, so mission accomplished. The way this author subtly sucks you into their story is astonishing! I thought I would pick it up and read a few pages before bed, but the next thing I knew it was 4am. Completely hooked. The twists and turns of this puzzling thriller will have you doubting yourself and every single character within these pages. It was unbelievably easy to slip into each character’s mind with the multiple points of view. If you enjoy psychological thrillers that keep you guessing, this should be the next book you pick up without hesitation!

Under Jackson Bridge is the First Book in the Beyond the Bridge Series. It is a psychological thriller full of drama, action, suspense, mystery, intrigue, deception, secrets, and lies. The story centers around the complicated relationship between Irena, her ex-husband Jack, and her new boyfriend, Buzz. Even though they are divorced, Irena and Jack still talk pretty much everyday which irritates Buzz. When the trio is invited on a celebratory cruise with some close high school friends, things take an unexpected turn. A rogue wave tosses them overboard and Irena is rescued but Jack seems to have vanished without a trace. As the search ensues for Jack a tangled web of deception and lies start to unravel. This was another gripping read by this author that was full of twists and turns. The characters were intriguing and not always what they seemed to be on the surface. Irena is one tough cookie who is used to doing things on her own and not relying on others. Buzz comes across as a bit creepy as he eavesdrops on Irena’s conversations and his love for Irena seemed to a bit more of an obsession. Jack clearly has a past full of secrets that are probably best left undiscovered. Looking forward to the next book in this series!

Under Jackson Bridge by Susan Specht Oram. This psychological thriller is so good. I’ve found my new thriller author that I will now pick up without second glance! This is the story of Irena who is a single mom of a teenager, Kelly, who has a dead beat dad. Irena has worked so hard and built herself a business working on boat engines and has become pretty successful. When Irena, Kelly, Irena’s boyfriend Buzz and her ex, Jack end up going for a boat ride together Irena has a bad feeling about it. They are on a strict time line because Kelly has a dance class and when Irena and Jack get into an argument because Jack won’t wear his life jacket they are accidentally thrown overboard. Irena of course had her life jacket on and gets back on board but Jack is no where to be found. When they begin the search for Jack immediately they don’t find any sign of him. Even the next day all they find are questions. While Irena is determined to find her ex for Kelly’s sake she is also afraid from all the stuff she is finding out. This thriller will keep you guessing til the very end. Such a great read!

Anyways, Irena, Jack, Kelly (their daughter), Buzz and Craig on decide to go out on a boat ride. Everyone knows that they need to wear a life jacket but Jack refuses to. There is a big wave coming and it knocks Jack and Irena out of the boat in the cold water. Irena was pulled back into the boat because she was wearing the life jacket however Jack wasn’t as lucky. There is so much more to this then what meets the eye.

What an interesting concept for a book series! This was a quick and easy read from author C. A. King. In a sort of dystopian future, Fishermen Rod and Ned find a new species of fish at the bottom of the ocean. Little do they know havoc it will wreck on their small fishing town and the world. I did feel like the character development was lacking, it’s definitely more plot driven. But overall it was a fun and quirky read.

So these people have been friends since high school and are still friends into adulthood so when one of them , Craig , gets promoted they go on a boat trip to celebrate …but it soon turns to disaster

What baffled me is the issues they have with each other as we get a glimpse into their feelings on the way to said trip it feels like they’ve outgrown each other but are holding for whatever reason 🤷‍♀️

So irena married her high school sweetheart but divorced him due to his sneaker fetish and collection and I must agree it’s crazy and he goes t even wear them 🙈🤷‍♀️ anyhoo her current boyfriend Buzz is slso part of their friend circle but he seems a little unstable and obsessed to me but again only the reader sees that side but I must admit I appreciate the good relationship she maintains with her ex , Jack and they have their daughter Kelly to think of and he’s behind on maintenance ….

Irena knows more than most when it comes to boats and it seems her instincts with people aren’t to bad either and she knows something is off with her friend group but she just can’t put her finger on it ….but what I can tell you Jack made me feel he was up to something from the start …

Craig insists everyone wear life jackets and rightly so but Jack has to be difficult and refuse , I mean come in just put it on !! Then a wave hits , sone go overboard , sone come back and sone don’t , the search is on and things come to surface 🙈let’s just say I felt very disillusioned on behalf of some folk and expect the unexpected in this read 😉

When I started reading this I felt like putting it down , not because of the writing style but the people irked me but I’m glad I pushed through because I was rewarded at the end with a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ read 😉

Irena then spends all her time out searching for him, only to discover that things don’t add up. She keeps finding clues that make her question everything. I loved the twists and turns the story takes, especially at the end. I struggled a bit with rating this book. Some parts were so good. The writing style keeps me engaged and wanting to finish the book quickly. But some parts were unbelievable. Overall, I enjoyed the book and looked forward to finishing it!
