Dive Bar at the End of the Road by Kelley Armstrong

Horror 0
A spoiler-free review of Dive Bar at the End of the Road by Kelley Armstrong: a stormy Michigan detour, a pileup against one fallen tree, and a roadside bar where every stranded driver meets the thing they fear most. How the machine works, where it creaks, and who should take the detour.

Broken Rival by Tessa Bailey

Romance 0
A scientist's daughter stranded fifty years in the past is taken in by a Kansas pastor's family, loved by one son and loathed by the other. Bailey's first move away from comedy is a big, swoony, sometimes bloody time-travel romance whose rivalry is its engine and whose worldbuilding talks too much.

Victorious by V.E. Schwab

Fantasy 0
Victor Vale is powerless, running out of medicine and counting the hours, while a soft-spoken new director remakes EON from the inside. Schwab's Villains finale is a two-clock thriller that pays off three books of rivalry, with a slow present-day strand and a crowded last act.
