One day she comes across a shredded dead fox when checking snares. She quickly realizes something else not human, not quite animal, has moved in on the mountain. Do you think William is grateful for this information? Of course not because Mattie is not supposed to have thoughts or ideas not sanctioned by his majesty. To make matters worse, outsiders are now looking for the creature. So, between black eyes and an intelligent being, Mattie has to find a way to survive.
It missed being 4 star because there is no explanation about the creature. You're just left hanging out there....more
My next step would be to find a hotel and never look back. I would hire movers or say the hell with it, whatever is breathing is My house is breathing
My next step would be to find a hotel and never look back. I would hire movers or say the hell with it, whatever is breathing is welcome to my granny panties. However, that would not be a good horror story, my granny panties besides. Masterton wrote one heck of a creature story that will give you nightmares. Well written and terrifying! Recommend!...more
I am glad one of my Goodreads friends convinced me to pick this one back up. It started as a slow burn and had talking animals for cripe’s sake. Kind I am glad one of my Goodreads friends convinced me to pick this one back up. It started as a slow burn and had talking animals for cripe’s sake. Kind of hard to be afraid of a Frog that uses Gordon Ramsey as a mentor. However, once it started, it hit harder than Bing the Bear's war hammer. Who knew fictional real characters could be murderous. It sort of makes you wonder, if you ever did find yourself in the Hundred Acre Woods with Winnie the Pooh, would he try to eat you? Instead of his thirst for that jar of honey, it is full of his last victim's blood. How's that for childhood nightmare fuel. I loved the imagery this book provided. It was beautiful and went well with the heart pounding moments around every corner. Highly recommend....more

South China Sea, the steam frigate HMS Charger pursues a fleet of pirates that have been terrorizing the waters surrounding Hong Kong. In their hull are crates of opium, which are transferred as spoils of war. Suddenly a dark mass appears way above the stars. It looks like a comet, but maybe a dark star.

Murders and mutiny on the high sea, with a boatload of horror to keep the pages turning. This was one hell of a good book. Recommend!...more

Horror, blue mutants, time traveling, radiation, drug dealers, and one random alien all in the middle of the Bermuda Triangle. It didn't take long to suck me right on in because I needed to know what was happening to these people. A few edge of the seats moments to keep your heart pounding. I would have loved a better ending. Was hoping for a Dave Jones Locker moment, but alas no. Recommend!...more

FivIf you ever wanted to know what Disney World would be like if it was built off black magic and Walt was into the occult, this is the book for you. Five friends load up their car to head off to Turtleshell Mountain, the "Happiest Place on Earth". Only today, the cute characters have turned into killers and rides are deadly. The upside, there are no long waits in line. I can't think of a worse fate than to murdered by Felix the Fox. This was an outstanding book from start to finish. The characters are well written and relatable. Highly recommend!...more

I find it hard to believe a bunch of teenage, catty girls stuck in this situation would still listen to their teacher or headmistress. Especially if II find it hard to believe a bunch of teenage, catty girls stuck in this situation would still listen to their teacher or headmistress. Especially if I was slowly being eaten alive by some strange disease that made me grow extra parts. I wouldn't have been listening to nobody. I was a hellraiser in high school, so maybe it is my inner rebel talking. Loved the book and some characters. Wish we would have had more info on the Tox and its origins. Solid read if you can suspend belief for awhile....more

What I thought witchy historical fiction turned into something else completely. What sorcery is this? No matter, I still enjoyed this tale immensely. Usually I would be mad at the sudden turn of events, but I was willing to go where the author took me. I was so caught up in the story, I had to know how it ended for my new character friends. Excellent read! Recommend....more

No idea what I just read, but I love it! I need more of this in my life. Only Mellick can bring us cannibal candy creatures wrapped up in a delicious love story of when opposite species attract. I think Mellick answered that age old question: How many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop ...more
