Suicide Forest

-
A group of friends are planning to hike Mt. Fuji but their plans are cancelled due to impending rain. They then meet an Israeli couple who were also planning to hike Mt. Fuji but are now going to go camp in Aokigahara Jukai (also known as The Suicide Forest) instead. The group of friends tag along with the Israeli couple to see if the place is really haunted. They move past the signs urging people to think of their loved ones and not to continue into the forest but their curiosity is piqued. The forest is so dense it's easy to become lost. And by morning one of them will go missing.

This was well-written. It had the right amount of spookiness. The characters were three-dimensional. I enjoyed the snippets about their lives before they got caught up in the horrors of The Suicide Forest. It was easy to feel like you were there in the forest with them. I'm looking forward to book number two in World's Scariest Places!

Anthony doesn't want to go home, and Charlotte isn't able to go home, so together they end up following the steps in a book found in the airport gift shop - Ten Easy Steps for Getting Over Your Ex - in the hopes that their broken hearts will be mended. This is a cute, short read. The story is predictable, of course, and I'm taking it for what it is which is just a fluffy, feel good read. But these two met not even 24 hours ago and they already love each other! Anthony was in a relations

Tell Me No Lies

After Eric Thorn's phone was found cracked and bloody in the snow, but no Eric Thorn, who knows what's going on? Fangirl Tessa Hart knows the truth. She's been in hiding the last couple of months. But now she's forced to face the consequences. Back in the interrogation room it seems as though there are more questions than answers. This is the conclusion to Follow Me Back. To be honest I don't remember a whole lot about that book, only that I had fun reading it and it shed some light on the dangers of social media. The same can be said about this book. Instead of focusing only on Twitter like the first book, we learn about Snapchat (okay, maybe I'm the only one who learned about it) and even though it may seem safer, you just never know what can happen. I was a little surprised at who the culprit was in this one. I enjoyed a look into Eric Thorn's life, how demanding and hectic it is to be famous. I'm a sucker for books that have police interviews and Twi
