    The kids try to save the old library adorned with gargoyle statues. The new bus driver, Mr. Stone, is looking an awful lot like said gargoyles. The kids begin to think they see the beautiful gothic statues move around and come alive at night. Very fun and enjoyable with a great setting

    This is a fun and straightforward slasher. The setting, suspense, and gore are the stars of this book. No deep characterization or life lessons here if that’s what you’re looking for. A must read for the slasher genre lovers

    Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot:

    A local author goes missing after writing an article that throws shade at the town’s history. While southern pride has been severely ruffled, Tori and her sewing group take it upon themselves to solve the mystery. Will he be found dead or alive? A fun twist ending. Vivid characterization and setting
