I received a copy for review from the author.

Frost Bite is about a meteor carrying alien worms that infect animals in a small North Dakota town in 1997. This story was 100% pure fast-paced fun. It had some silliness with infected prairie dog attack along with a doomsday cult and alien worms. It also provides many 90s references and nostalgic moments. This would be the perfect winter read as it takes place in the middle of a frozen North Dakota December. There is not a dull moment in this story with its amazing pacing throughout.

If you are looking for a wintry fast-paced thrill ride with all the 90s vibes that steps way out of the norm then Frost Bite is a must read. I recommend it to fans of the thrilling and strange.

My Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars

When the Night Falls by Glenn Rolfe Book Review

Title: When the Night Falls Author: Glenn Rolfe Series: Until Summer Comes Around Book 2 Genre: Horror Published: 6/11/24 by Flame Tree Press I received a copy for review through NetGalley. A group of vampires descend upon a beach town after a documentary airs about the killings that took place there years ago. These vampires seem set on getting to Rocky, and leave a large body count in their wake. When the Night Falls is the sequel to the beach town vampire story Until Summer Comes Around. This time the story is a little bit darker and a little bit bloodier. It takes place in the 1990s with plenty of fun nods to the decade to set time and place. I would highly recommend this series to fans of vampire stories. These are fast fun reads for summer. My Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
