During my reading in November , I was in the mood to read a mystery thriller and picked up The Sanatorium by Sarah Pearse from my shelves. The cover and premise sounded very creepy and intriguing. I was very excited to read and it did not disappoint me. Synopsis Half hidden by forest and overshadow

I was in the mood for a good thriller/horror and I picked up The September House by Carissa Orlando on my kindle. I thought this was perfect for this month and for bringing in the autumnal vibes.
