Book Review: The Whispering Dead by Darcy Coates
I wanted to branch out to other authors of the genre I like to write, supernatural/suspense, who, like Mary Downing Hahn, tell stories (for children, teens, or adults) that involve the concept of overcoming fear. I’ve found that Darcy Coates’ books fall under this umbrella. This is the first book of hers I’ve read, andContinue reading “Book Review: The Whispering Dead by Darcy Coates”

Book Review: The Caged Graves by Dianne K. Salerni
