They haven't spoken since, and never planned to, except they have one final book due on contract...
Happy Reading!
The Arc

January's Anticipated Reads!
January is always filled with these new year-new you ideas. Well, the new year is here and I’m looking forward to starting this one off with a reading bang. I’ve got a new set of goals and a big list of books to read. So, let’s get the year started with some incredible options.
- January 4 – Reckless Girls – By Rachel Hawkins
There are certain checkmarks that I look for when looking for a new book from a new-to-me author: an isolated location with a mysterious past – check; a group of youths experimenting with their mortality – check; a whole lot of finger-pointing in a “who done it” – three checks are a charm. Reckless Girls looks like it could be a great way to kickoff the new year.
- January 18 – Such a Pretty Smile – By Kristi Demeester
Such a Pretty Smile comes with a whole lot of praise from some of the top new voices in horror. A mother and daughter against a serial killer(?). I love it when a synopsis gives just enough away to pique my interest without giving the whole story away; build the mystery / suspense before I even crack it open.
- January 25 – Road of Bones – By Christopher Golden
I’m a long-time fan of the Nordic Noir genre and the atmosphere that it creates; but I find there are some authors on this side of the pond who are creating a similar atmosphere within the horror genre, and I love that both of these have come together. I’ve always enjoyed Golden’s melange of horror and mythology/folklore. To date, it has been following the adventures of Ben Walker. I appreciate that Golden is going to go with a new protagonist this time around. I’m looking forward to traversing the permafrost of Siberia from the comfort of my own cozy chair.

There was so much more to Reckless Girls than I expected. Hawkins tossed together an incredibly deceitful cast.
