Having a Christmas or holiday theme in a modern fictional title often feels like a calculated cash grab, with authors and publishers eagerly trying to capture the hearts of the Hallmark-Xmas audience. While I hold a deep affection for the holiday, it was hard to overlook that many of these books tend to be campy, clichéd, and occasionally poorly crafted. However, there's one author who stands out from the crowd—Richard Paul Evans, an author I’ve admired ever since I read The Christmas Box trilogy years ago.

I picked up RUIN ROAD, written by Lamar Giles and published by Scholastic, predominantly due to its unique cover art—which evoked a nostalgic sense of '80s horror reminiscent of The Twilight Zone. When I learned of the plot, I was intrigued by how it seamlessly weaving elements of R.L. Stine’s Goosebumps while echoing the psychological twist that characterized The Twilight Zone.

I am a latecomer to the world of Tony Hillerman's Leaphorn & Chee series, now known as the Leaphorn, Chee & Manuelito series. My journey into this captivating universe began after I watched the first season of AMC's Dark Winds in 2022. Strangely enough, I stumbled upon several of Hillerman's novels at local thrift stores around the same time the show premiered. I can't help but wonder if I had encountered his books in the past but simply overlooked them. Given my strong memory, I find it hard to believe I wouldn’t have recalled seeing those distinctive covers.

In my possession for far too long is a copy of Christopher Golden's THE HOUSE OF LAST RESORT, which was published earlier this year by St. Martin's Press. The delay in getting this review out has nothing to do with forgetfulness; I devoured the book right after receiving an advanced reading copy (ARC). However, life threw me a curveball, and my procrastination spiraled out of control. So, I am penning this review on Thanksgiving night, hoping to articulate my thoughts on this intriguing novel.

A while ago, fueled by my passion for military thrillers, a reader recommended the works of author Brad Thor. Although I was familiar with Thor's name—having seen his books displayed in various bookstores—I had never taken the plunge to read any of them. However, after that recommendation, a curious phenomenon began to occur; I started discovering Brad Thor's novels in thrift stores and even encountered several titles available for free at my local library. Naturally, I couldn't resist adding these finds to my ever-growing home library, which now boasts byzantine of his works. Nevertheless, despite having amassed a collection of his novels, I had yet to delve into them until I finally picked up his latest release, SHADOW OF DOUBT, which was published earlier this year by Emily Bestler Books / Atria, an imprint of Simon & Schuster, LLC.
