The Merciless by Danielle Vega

-
Get ready for:
 Mean Girls meets The Exorcist.
For mature audiences only. I will warn that there is bad language and disturbing images in this book. 

When new girl, Sofia, befriends the popular, religious girls, Riley, Alexis, and Grace, she finally feels like she fits in somewhere. When Riley suggests the girls try to save gothic styled girl, Brooklyn, Sofia doesn't really give it much thought. But Riley's version of "save" is more twisted then Sofia could have imagined. Kept against her will, the girls preform an exorcist on Brooklyn, which also includes gruesome torture. But who in this group of friends can you really trust? Secrets are revealed, friendships are betrayed, and there is no end to the blood being shed. The only question is, once these girls have crossed the line, who is going to save them? 

Danielle Vega's debut novel is flawless. Do not judge this pink book by its beautiful cover, it's pure horror; full of suspense, suffering, and a twisted ending to top it off. I also adored all the characters in this book, they were each so evil in their own way. The Merciless is definitely a hide under the covers after dark kind of read. This book is personally one of my top favourites and I look forward to reading anything else Vega writes.

Book 2: The Merciless II
Book 3: The Merciless III
Book 4: The Merciless IV

My Rating: 5/5 Stars

This is a spoiler review for We Can Be Mended: An Allegiant Epilogue by Veronica Roth. This was a pre-order bonus gift when you submitted your receipt for Carve the Mark to the publishers. If you have not read the Divergent series, please note this review will contain spoilers from the last book in the trilogy, Allegiant . If you do not want to read spoilers for We Can Be Mended please stop reading now.     " We Can Be Mended is a short-story epilogue that focuses on Four and takes places five years after Allegiant, the conclusion of the Divergent series." ( goodreads )     I have not done a review on any books from the Divergent series (even though I plan to eventually). So before I start this review I want to make two things clear: First, Divergent is my favorite series, I love it to no end. I even have my own version of Tris bird tattoo, one bird (3 total) for each member of my family that I got when I moved out on my own.  Second, I accepted Tris

The following review is full of spoilers from Final Girls. Reading this review will reveal all the plot lines and secrets surrounding Quincy's life. Read this review at your own risk, you have been warned. August17 book for Poison Apple Book Club Instagram: @taleswithnicole #poisonapplebookclub "Ten years ago, college student Quincy Carpenter went on vacation with five friends and came back alone, the only survivor of a horror movie–scale massacre.

Wonderland: The Queen of Hearts vs. Red Queen

One of my biggest pet peeves regarding Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is the common confusion with The Queen of Hearts and Red Queen. Between the 1951 Disney version as well as the Disney live action movies, they confuse many characteristics and as much as I love all the movies it is a little annoying.   Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is my favorite book and have read it several times over the years. However I've actually once read Through the Looking Glass twice, and my memory on it isn't as good as the first story. I may have to read up on them both again soon!   I decided to make a post and fully identify each character to clarify the confusion.     THE QUEEN OF HEARTS - Appears in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland - Catchphrase "Off with her Head" - Enraged easily - Plays croquet - Has 10 children (a full suit) - Married to the King of Hearts - Hates white roses - She is a great baker     RED QUEEN - Appea
