Beast Bite 1: Atmosphere

Atmosphere, the je ne sais quoi of all riveting tales that reach right into our bones and stay with us long after the words have faded. What better theme for spooky October?

This month, we read ONE DARK WINDOW by Rachel Gillig and WATCH OUT FOR HER by Samantha M. Bailey.

With misty woods, curses, magic cards, and monsters, ONE DARK WINDOW ticks every dark fantasy box. Gillig’s prose is lush and poetic, delivering a strong sense of atmosphere, characters that connect through their shared struggle with pain, and a cliff-hanger that will make you itch for the next book. We’re hooked!

WATCH OUT FOR HER delivers psychological thriller chills at their best. From page one, Bailey sets a tone that will have you riding the undercurrent of fear and suspense throughout this page turner. As with the very best of thrillers, the characters could be our neighbours, our friends…us. MC, Sarah, really hit home for us with her balance of daring and vulnerability, questionable actions and unquestionable love. The perfect atmospheric read for this Autumn.
