4.5 stars"The world was full of mystery and magic and horror and love." And so is this book. I'm fairly new to the Gothic Horror genre, but I absolutely love it! Or maybe I'm just lucky to have come across this book . This novel is so beautifully written. Sometimes when books are filled with des...

I've always imagined that winning the lottery is an exciting and pulse-pounding experience. Until the people and things around you become creepy, and then downright scary. When all the family starts showing up with their secrets and airing of dirty laundry, things start to go downhill. Finally, the ...

All that hype, and this is what I got. I like it, but I also got bored and annoyed at multiple parts. Especially when Violet keeps describing River's "panther hips".Read this review and more at http://www.thereadingobsession.blogspot.comThis book was like Alisa Bait. Pretty cover? Check.

The writing in this book is very lush, dark, and sweeping. If that is not your thing, then you will hate this book. If you like Gothic novels, then you will love love love this book. The pace of the story is really languid, but that's part of the charm. It feels like you're sinking further and furth...

One of the best books of 2013, for me. Freakishly weird gothic novel featuring a heroine who meets a bad boy she just can't stay away from...and who just might be the Devil. Fabulous writing, spine-tingling setting, and characters you'll be scared to root for.

Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea was one of my mostly highly anticipated titles this year. I screamed like the fangirl that I am when an ARC arrived on my doorstep. I know that practically all of the reviewers I trust have devoured this book, and yet I made myself wait till now to read it. ...

In Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea, Violet White and her brother Luke are alone in their crumbling old house (nicknamed "Citizen Kane") after their flighty artist parents head off on a European trip. Money's tight, so Violet has tacked up signs in town offering their guesthouse for rent. Ent...

4.5I enjoyed the writing style. Tucholke's sense of story-telling is genius. It's a slow, but beautiful relationship that you build with this book. The characters are solid, built on strong foundations that make you want to know them for real. The theme of the story is one filled with lore and cultu...
