The beginning of this novel is so very awesome that I have to applaud Mr. Marks on it. I started the novel without rereading the synopsis so I literally walked in blind. And then as I started reading, I started frowning because what is this girl in some serial killer’s house, why is she not running ...
I wanted to like this book, the author is from the Pacific Northwest and is definitely funny his YouTube is hilarious, and he wrote about some of my favorite book themes: YA, death/murder, and purgatory but this book was just not my thing.Velveteen was murdered by a man named Bonesaw and is now livi...
Velveteen, Daniel Marks debut novel, is a fresh new YA that will appeal to tons of readers! It’s a dark, gritty story of a world where people aren’t quite ready to move on after death.

Sometimes, what's swirling around in my pink-striped head makes a ton of sense but comes out a lump of garbled confusion that leaves even me thinkin...
Meet the strange and dark world of Purgatory in Velveteen. This was an oddly beautiful and fascinating story with a lot of depth and unique world-building. I went into this novel with a lot of excitement to begin with because I am a huge fan of The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold. So when I heard some ...
When I saw this book on Netgalley and read the synopsis I HAD to have it, but I was so sure I wasn’t going to be approved that when I got it I swear I did a happy dance that resembled a scarecrow losing control of is limbs and two year old on sugar. Breathe, the concept of heaven, hell, limbo aka pu...
