I was gifted a review copy directly from the author
I actually really enjoyed this story! The opening scene definitely paints a picture I'll not get out of my head for a while. Thorne has a great writing style that kept me engaged in the story the whole time. Though it did take a few sitting for me to read because of life, I really didn't want to put it down. I wanted to know what was going to happen next and Thorne really does have a way of describing scenes that definitely made me react with my face. I look forward to reading more of Thorne's work in the future!

I'm completed wowed by Puzzle House! I love puzzles and the high stakes mystery involved with the whole story was just fantastic. I definitely didn't see the ending coming the way it did.

I absolutely loved this story! I love the descriptions of the environment and I thought that the plot was super engaging. I definitely ended up staying up way too late to finish this one! I already cannot wait for the next installment!

This story was a whole lot of fun. All the twists and red herrings made it so you never really knew what way was up and you just kinda went along for the ride
Where He Can't Find You by Darcy Coates
I just finished and I absolutely loved it. It’s definitely YA and has some body horror within but I was so deeply engrossed in this story. I couldn’t stop thinking about it when I had to stop reading and I have no doubt some scenes are going to live with me forever now.
