Disturbing Tech-Themed Books
Far be it for me to explain the attraction, but perhaps because I’m a steadfast member of the cell phone generation, I have a real weakness for horror or thrillers that center around technology, screens, the Internet, anything of the sort.

I just finished reading Holly Jackson’s debut novel, A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder, and wanted to share some thoughts, because I really think a lot of you might like this one!

ARC Review: My Eyes Are Up Here by Laura Zimmermann (Out June 23rd)
“My eyes are up here.” There’s a very good chance, especially if you’re a woman or a girl in today’s day and age, that you’ve uttered this phrase at some point in your life. Or at the very least, you’ve thought it. That’s exactly the case for Greer Walsh, the main character of the soon-to-be-released…
