Written like true crime but truly fiction, I fell for this book quite a few times while I was reading it and I could’ve sworn that what I was reading had actually occurred.  With the addition of the photographs, it was hard not to lean towards true crime as the authorities tried to find their serial killer and the body count kept creeping up.

 

I enjoyed the concept behind how the author put the book together.  I liked how the author put the book together so it read like a true crime novel. I know that I checked the genre on this book at least a couple times just like I checked Daisy Jones and the Six when I read that book.  These stories play tricks with us, they want us to believe them but then, where is the memory of such events in our heads?

 

I was looking forward to some impressive reading when I picked up this book after looking at the title and the synopsis, as it sounded scary and intense. After reading this book though, I felt disappointed.  I enjoyed the book but I guess with all the glowing reviews, the title and the synopsis, I was expecting something grander.  I guess I was expecting it to be a I-can’t-stop-thinking-about-this-book, with me sitting on the edge-of-my-seat and the words just flying across the page.  There were also moments where I felt the author gave me information just to give me information, where I grew bored.   I wanted to be scared and I wanted to devour this book. There were moments of mystery, intense and bizarre activity but nothing that frightened or alarmed me.

 

I wanted to know who was killing these young girls.  I needed to know what sick individual would then, take the time to pose their victim’s mutilated dead bodies for others to find.  Why? What was the purpose? With a fantastic cover and a unique style of writing, this book is by an author who has some amazing talent.  4 stars

Monster Porn Monday ~ Erotica Mature 18+

Only one book, but it's an anthology. Yay for variety!

The Boogeyman Investigation - Scott Litt... The illustrations in The Boogeyman Investigation were kind of creepy. They were probably the best part of the book. The style I would associate with someone like Tim Burton. The font, however, wasn't the easiest to read. Given that this is in the 3-5 range on Amazon, I would expect nice, easy to read font as younger readers need. My child liked the book, but even though she is almost always willing to give five stars, even she agreed this one didn't quite make the cut. I do like what the author was doing though. It's always fun to sneak a little learning in when you can.

Sleep study plus experimental drugs equals kinky monster sex! Where do I sign up? Strictly as an observer, of course. *cough*

 

This monster porn story features a childhood monster, the boogeyman. You know, the one that hides under your bed or, more comfortably (for him), in your closet. Except instead of one bogeyman there are several. And they want to gang bang you. Repeatedly. It’s deliciously creepy and also kinda hot. I could have done without the bucket loads of cum there at the end, but that seems to be a monster porn staple. Fairly well-written, but could use another pass in the editing dept. But…you knew there’d be a big butt, right? I mean, a big but. This story is extremely short. It ends at 29% and then there’s a bonus story titled Violated by Monsters: The Beast Mirror which I did not read, but may someday.

I received a free copy of Bye Bye Boogeyman (the Monster Series) by Donna Davies, Illustrated by Rob Peters, in exchange for a fair review. It is four stars.

It's designed for ages four & up. I appreciate the concept of chasing away the boogeyman but did not like the use of a baseball bat in doing so. While that is common in old style books & even Bluto & Popeye, it's not my 'cup of tea'.

I liked the idea of the Magical Monster Mist & loved the recipe for it. The author provided the link for this Magical Monster Mist label. http://www.artisticwitchery.com/bye-bye-boogeyman/ Because of that, I gave the full four stars.

It's an entertaining story & I do like parts of it. The idea of painting a monster's toenails or dancing with him was enjoyable. I read it to my favorite little boy & he really enjoyed the pictures of the copious snot from the monster's sneeze.

While monsters under the bed can be a year around mystery, this story is just in time for Halloween.
