Twas the Night

Twas the Night by Kevin Johnson

Reviewed by Ephantus Gold

In ‘Twas the Night” by Kevin Johnson, Halley Belanger, a journalist at an online publication called Ambush News, is investigating several cases of children who have strangely disappeared without a trace in every place in Maine, except in one village called Yule. Upon talking to several Maine residents, their reactions have left her shocked and more confused. They all seem to freak out, especially when she mentions that one particular village, a village she later comes to learn that not even the biker gangs of Maine dare to talk about. Her curiosity and desperation for answers send her on a journey to the village, a place she sees as “a little patch of civilization that’s tucked away… a place of whispers and guarded secrets.” But shortly after her arrival, she realizes that she is being closely watched, not by someone but by everything, including snowmen who seem to move closer with every passing hour to the Black Duck Inn, where she is staying.  Purchase Here.

One day while in her room, Halley spots a little girl playing around the snowmen. The girl looks familiar. Their encounter leaves Halley deeply convinced that she was supposed to find this village for some reason. But the Inn owners won’t allow her to find out more. They demand that she always stay inside and ignore anything and everything she sees or hears during her stay. But their rules only fuel her curiosity, and one night they turn her into a silent, beanie-clad shadow drifting between houses like a ghost, in a moment that nearly ends her life.

What makes the story even more intriguing is that you realize something bad is about to happen. You can feel it even when the characters try to ignore it. Johnson doesn’t lean on big dramatic scenes; he uses that familiar itch people get when they’re told to leave something alone. Every time Halley hears a warning, it only makes you want her to keep going. The rules come off more like odd hints than anything meant to stop her. Before long, you’re following her curiosity without thinking about it. And, like Halley, you end up wanting to know what Yule is really hiding.

The protagonist is blunt, probably cynical, and doesn’t shy away from calling an old woman “an old bag.” In a genre that normally romanticizes the elderly, this is honestly different, priming the reader for a story that doesn’t hold back. She also uses the “smelling like prison spaghetti” description, which, among other things, doesn’t come across as just another generic one but as specific, odd, and evocative, suggesting a world the reader may not know about but can instantly imagine and feel.

‘Twas the Night” by Kevin Johnson has taken the well-known Christmas carol’s words “You better watch out. You better not cry” and from them crafted a threat that is not merely a playful warning about Santa’s naughty list, but a genuine, deeply chilling warning about survival. As you read on, you sense the usual Christmas tropes being weaponized into something dark, through a religious devotion far more dangerous than simple belief. This is one of those rare books that take something very familiar and make it alien and horrifying. It all feels deeply and profoundly wrong, but that’s precisely why the reader can’t look away.

 

Witch Trial

Witch Trial by Harriet Tyce

Reviewed by Ephantus Gold

“Witch Trial” by Harriet Tyce features a courtroom drama involving two seventeen year old girls who’ve been accused of murder. We follow the process leading to their trial through the eyes of Matthew Philips, a heart surgeon and a juror, the latter of which he sees as a golden ticket and an escape from his ordinary life. In the early chapters, we realize that his marriage is in crisis, and that he has a daughter who he has neglected. His choice of jury duty over a holiday with his wife makes us know that even as we follow him into the courtroom, observing the evidence and listening to the witnesses alongside him, he is far from solving his own issues.   Purchase Here.

Eliza Lawson and Isobel Smyth have been accused of assaulting Christian Shaw and threatening her with a knife, a threat that led Shaw to believe she was being attacked. What they didn’t know however, is that she had a pre-existing heart condition that could lead to a fatal heart attack.
A conversation with Emma, a jury member introduces Matthew to the words “witch-girls” and “witch-trial.” These words leave him not only unsettled but also pregnant with terrifying curiosity. A dream follows in which he sees himself running through Inverleith Park, a demon at his heels. Matthew wakes up shaken, especially because the park is the same place Shaw was murdered. Additionally, he saw a familiar face in it, one he can’t stop seeing. What he however doesn’t know, is that the dream is just the first crack into insanity. Hallucinations, paranoia and a break of his rationality will follow, and soon he will go rogue.

This story rides on a family story that runs concurrently with the trial, allowing us to understand why our protagonist is desperate, and why he is willing to destroy everything including his own integrity. This is a classic literary technique through which we see his personal flaws helping us predict the plot outcome. While historical witch trials were about persecution of outsiders or people with a different, unpopular belief, this modern day trial story reframes the narrative, drawing us into a reality about the case that may be more disturbing than any explanation. By disturbing, we are talking about persecution being enabled by the very people who are supposed to protect and uphold justice.

The story uses seventeen year old characters. This is a deliberate, layered decision that places us in a space where we either see them as children who have made terrible mistakes, or as young adults who should have known better. It is a great concept that explores the vulnerability of adolescence, and most especially the forces that shape teenage life today.

“Witch Trial” by Harriet Tyce bears a growing tension and a pacing that keeps shifting. Matthew’s sections grow increasingly unstable, and through every one of them we feel like we are sinking with him. The techniques are not really unique but Tyce uses them to create a profoundly disorienting experience that forces us to participate in it. Psychological thriller fans will love descent into madness and the questions of what’s really real, while crime fiction readers will appreciate the legal intrigue and the question of justice.
To All the Men I've Killed Before

To All the Men I’ve Killed Before by Katy Brent

Reviewed by Ephantus Gold

“We’re here for revenge. And the revenge I have in mind isn’t going to be sweet. It will be brutal.”

This phrase in “To All the Men I’ve Killed Before” by Katy Brent, introduces the reader to a story heavily driven by the desire for retribution, by characters who do not forgive easily – in fact, who do not forgive at all. The phrase further primes the reader for a journey that will keep them on the edge, turning pages, while remaining conflicted about the character’s central morals.  Purchase Here.

Kitty Collins, a thirty-year-old serial killer who kills only the “worst men who absolutely deserve it,” and her twenty-year-old half-sister Antoinette, arrive in Los Angeles to find and kill Aidan Ward, a British therapist who beat Kitty’s friend Tor almost to death, before fleeing to LA. Tor barely survived and was left with a swollen face, a closed eye underneath a couple of bruises, and a lingering trauma that makes her unable to sleep. But as Kitty and Antoinette settle in and search online for Aidan, Antoinette comes across information regarding a serial killer right at the heart of Los Angeles who is brutally murdering women who are found sexualizing themselves, women who, according to Kitty, are only exercising agency over their own bodies. Antoinette wants Kitty to hunt down the Los Angeles serial killer as well, especially because the police have not so far acknowledged his presence, even as the number of those slain continues to rise.

The story also captures the interruption of the sisters’ evening meal at a restaurant in West Hollywood by an A-lister movie star who wants them to join him for a “little party” in his room that night. Kitty recognizes him, remembering that several women have previously sued him for sexual misconduct, although the cases were dropped for lack of evidence. After dismissing him, Antoinette hisses across the table that they should kill him, too. But Kitty doesn’t realize the weight of Antoinette’s words until the following day, when she finds her resting her feet on the dismembered naked torso of a man right there at the center of their room.

This story involves two protagonists whose discovery that they share a parent felt, to me as the reader, like a nuclear bomb of a plot point. This was made worse, especially by my discovery that one of them had committed an unforgivable act against the other’s family, raising the question in me of whether she was justified or merely monstrous.  Kitty – the main protagonist’s repetition that she had killed a lot of people, most especially primed me for a journey that initially felt wrong, but gradually emerged as more complicated than I thought, a journey that made me question what I thought about right and wrong. But what made the story deeply engaging was the half-sister’s involvement as Kitty’s “an assassin-admin assistant.” Her entrance pointed to a coordinated, systematic operation that was ideologically driven by individuals who saw themselves as avengers for women wronged by men.

Brent used humor that made the dark violence not just palatable, but engaging and almost enjoyable. For instance, she told of a jaw that hung out like a scream mask, a massacred movie star who looked like a sad, aging pirate – specifically like Captain Hook but in need of a midlife health check, and a lip-less, dead individual who the main protagonist thought was looking at her. This humor allowed me to break the tension, made the protagonists more relatable, and, at times, made me question my moral responses. “To All the Men I’ve Killed Before” by Katy Brent is a book I would recommend to readers who enjoy dark, morally complex thrillers served with a side of sarcasm and humor, as well as to readers who enjoy books about complex family dynamics. Kitty and Antoinette are exactly the kind of characters these readers will enjoy, even though they know they probably shouldn’t.

 

 

Looked Down Upon

Looked Down Upon: The Exiled Kin by Jordan Lopez

Reviewed by Lily Andrews

“Looked Down Upon: The Exiled Kin” by Jordan Lopez follows sixteen-year-old Lucas “Luke” Ramirez, who lives in an old, small cottage at the heart of Blackroot town, Tennessee, together with his thirty-seven-year-old mother, who is a nurse, and his seventy-two-year-old grandmother. He has autism, a condition that makes it extremely difficult for him to make friends or cope with change. His grandmother, on the other hand, is fighting liver cancer as well as COPD, an illness that affects her lungs, requiring her to rely on an oxygen tank for breathing. Luke grows up knowing that his father, a successful mechanic, died in a car accident when Luke was three. He was told his father wasn’t big on taking pictures, which is why there are no photos of him in their house.  Purchase Here.

Luke starts his sophomore year at Princeton County High School and almost immediately notices Natalie Brown, a new student. He keeps to himself, but with Brown, he feels different. They meet over lunch. But some bullies, led by Rob, interrupt their warm conversation, creating a scene by mocking Luke’s condition and leaving him deeply shattered. He imagines having beautiful times with Brown. But we know that underneath all that lies a chilling, recurrent nightmare that involves a masked haunter who lunges at him in his sleep, sometimes mocking his worth and reminding him that he doesn’t deserve to be loved.

Luke’s story explores, among other themes, identity and self-acceptance. This theme ideally forms the backbone of the story. Self-acceptance, especially, emerges as an often painful struggle, worsened by constant reminders that you are different; this often leads the victim to hide their authentic self, even as they believe they are broken or that a large part of them is out of sync with the world.

“Looked Down Upon:  The Exiled Kin” is a story where the hero spirals, cries, withdraws, and tries to fight back, showing us how deeply he is hurting. His struggles pull us right into his world, a world where systems meant to protect him often fail, and where survival seems like a daily battle for someone like him.  By writing Luke’s story, two-time published author and autistic self-advocate who was often misunderstood in his tender years by many of his peers and teachers, Jordan Lopez manages to show us that autism doesn’t place any limit on an individual’s purpose. His writing style keeps emotions close to the surface, so you don’t struggle to feel the story as it happens. The mystery of the masked haunter is one of his most compelling creations and a major source of psychological unease that keeps you guessing and turning pages as you wonder what that creepy figure is all about.

“Looked Down Upon: The Exiled Kin” is without a doubt a story that anyone who has ever felt like an outsider will resonate with. It is a book that offers insight into what it is like to raise or support an autistic child. It makes you understand autism easily, and on the other side, the impact of bullying and how it can shape a child’s self-worth. This makes it a great read for parents, teachers, and caregivers. Readers who love stories about courage and justice shouldn’t miss it either.

Our Marriage is Murder

Our Marriage is Murder by Carol Goodman

Reviewed by Ephantus Gold

“Our Marriage Is Murder” by Carol Goodman is a gripping mystery that positions itself in a world where fiction and reality are blurred by a very thin line, one that, if crossed, carries devastating consequences. The book follows award-winning novelists Fred and Thea Morgan-Lane, who have been married for twenty years. They are flying to Italy for this year’s MurderCon, where they have been nominated for the prestigious Poirot Prize for Best Mystery Series. Morgan-Lane, the narrator, reveals that Fred sees her as a pushover, whereas she is the one who has always greased the wheels behind the scenes to get what they need from their publishing company. She also discloses that they are still together, not because they are in love, but because their brand as a writing couple has been quite profitable.  Purchase Here.

Morgan-Lane is exhausted and wants out, not just from the hollow shell of her marriage but from the series the two have written. She has spent months planning her exit, and has a termination clause that prevents Fred from continuing the series without her approval. But what she doesn’t know is that someone close to her has been planning a betrayal of their own. You sense early that she is headed towards a devastating twist, one that could end her life, in a world where any ally could be the enemy, and for that matter, an enemy who might ensure that the series is not hers at all to end.

Morgan-Lane is a charming character who wins the reader’s heart, especially after she finally resolves to reclaim her life from a marriage she claims she betrayed long ago, when she turned it into a business rather than prioritizing love. It’s undeniable that she has been running from herself all along. But it’s not her “victim-hood” that really makes her compelling; rather, it’s her complicity. She is self-aware, which makes her all the more compelling. Yet the most interesting part of her story is a game she invented with her husband that later serves as the mechanism for a real murder. The game was their private joke and a shared language. Here, you realize that the killer might then be someone who has been watching them long enough to know their secrets.

Morgan‑Lane’s story isn’t a quick happening. It feels more like watching two people drift apart because they stopped saying the things that mattered. You start noticing the little things that were not taken care of. After a while, their marriage comes across like something they’re doing as a routine rather than actually living. As the connection between her and Fred thins out, you can still feel her trying to hang on. It makes you wonder whether Fred is really the problem, or if she’s been avoiding the truth that’s been sitting right in front of her. The reader will soon start to feel her confusion and her hope, and you stay with her as she finally stops dodging what she’s known deep down all along.

Three Reasons for Revenge

Three Reasons for Revenge by Dervla McTiernan

Reviewed by Ephantus Gold

“Three Reasons for Revenge” by Dervla McTiernan begins at Melbourne West Police Station, where Detective Sergeant Judith Lee has received a complaint from a psychologist, one Robert Walker, who claims to have been sexually assaulted. On hearing his name, Lee freezes.

As you read on, you learn that Robert resents her and her success, which makes her next move critical.  Purchase Here.

Lee finds her bike destroyed- its leather seat and tires slashed, brake lines and wire harness cut in multiple places. More talk follows about other women who might have fallen victim to Walker. But then, Walker gets murdered. With no one left to investigate or prosecute, Lee is left with only one deep conviction- that she might be missing something.

The case is not finished; rather, it has been interrupted.

I loved how this story’s tension deepens, especially through a protagonist whose greatest strength was not only in solving but in doubting. I could feel her isolation right in my bones, especially when she was dealing with a complainant who wasn’t fully honest, yet remained desperate for quick action and justice. The author didn’t underline every betrayal or motive; instead, it was up to me to decode the characters’ silences, avoidance of eye contact, and heightened emotions when questioned. For me, this was unique, as were the retaliations, which felt like a minefield of words I couldn’t say.

“Three Reasons for Revenge” is a story that seems to understand what happens to disturbed individuals who seek help but end up getting taken advantage of. McTiernan doesn’t exploit their situation for shock value but to demonstrate how a predator operates. She also understands that employing twists and threatening constant action is the perfect way to build tension. One moment, she brings you a victim, and just as you start growing sympathy towards them, you see their other side. Her pace moves like a master chess player, and her characters breathe through contradictions, leaving the reader with the feeling of being alive beyond the pages. You will notice that she grants them weight instead of long back stories, a weight that makes the choices they make, as well as those they fail to make, land with a punch. This is a greatly rewarding story for fans who prefer deeply layered mysteries and character-driven tension over cheap thrills.

 

 

 

The Kings of Vegas

The Kings of Vegas by Karen Mack and Jennifer Kaufman

Reviewed by Ephantus Gold

In “The Kings of Vegas” by Karen Mack and Jennifer Kaufman, Josie King is summoned home after her father’s death for the family reading of the will. Her father, Roy King, is among the few men who came into town with nothing, before rising from a mere idea straight into the American Dream. Upon reaching her father’s ranch, where everyone else is gathering, Josie learns that her father requires any sibling who is not a Nevada resident to become one, and anyone living outside of Las Vegas to move back. Also, he needs them to work together for three years at his famous casino, the Jackpot. Anyone who contests the will gets nothing under the attached “in terrorem” clause.  Purchase Here.

The book brings the reader into the Jackpot, a setting that feels like a character in its own right. It is where the character’s emotions, predicament, and worries take a name. Most outstanding is Josie, whose instincts, trained from a young age, tell us that all is not well beneath the forced smiles of family reunion and the veneer of wealth and success that her father spent a lifetime building. The story involves a union crisis that threatens to tear the establishment apart, a lover who turns out to be next-door competition, and an FBI agent who plants early doubts in Josie about her brother, who runs the business. A lot is thrown at the reader, leaving them to wonder whom to trust and who is telling the truth as various factors arise, threatening an already cracked household.

The story incorporates vivid imagery like “Red-tailed hawks circling their prey screeching like a coven of witches,” as well as gambling language- “a hot hand,” “blowing on dice,” when not referring to the game itself, making the conversations feel like a bet and a high-stakes gamble. Each chapter drops either a new revelation or another rumor, and every one of them leaves a mark the Las Vegas sun can’t quite bleach out. As the story progresses, the tension tightens into a web of suspicion, with small doubts slipping in until everyone ends up caught in it. Instead of offering easy answers, it keeps handing you more uncertainty, until the truth starts to feel like just another lie waiting to surface.

And so, “The Kings of Vegas” by Karen Mack and Jennifer Kaufman will resonate with any reader who enjoys questioning every character’s motives and piecing together a puzzle whose pieces keep changing shape. It is a great slow-burn mystery with morally-complex characters and a family drama that refuses to tie itself up in a neat bow.

Based on a True Story

Based on a True Story by Sarah Vaughan

Reviewed by Ephantus Gold

I started Based on a True Story by Sarah Vaughan, not knowing what to expect. The story follows Dame Eleanor Kingman, a hugely famous children’s writer — the kind who’s everywhere and has sold an unbelievable number of books. You can feel the weight of all that success on her right from the start, tightening around her even before the book hints at anything darker.  Purchase Here.

There’s a moment early on at her birthday event where a little boy suddenly yells that she lies and makes everything up. It’s quick, but it hits her hard. His words shake her in a way that feels almost too accurate, like he’s spotted something she’s been trying to hide for years.

Next, we witness a dreadful moment as strange emails begin flooding her personal account. Their deliberate word choice leads her to believe that the sender either knows her just too well or knows something cold about her from before her fame. Here, the reader joins her as she tries to deduce the source, flipping through rejected manuscripts and a young woman’s first identity. You sense that failure to do that will not just be an embarrassment but the total annihilation of everything she has become.

What impressed me most was how the author weaves in secondary accounts of Eleanor’s children, including Rachel, who is her accountant, and whose husband is deeply weighed down by life-threatening financial issues. As I engaged with her, I felt the tragic irony of two women, a mother and a daughter, both terrified of exposure and both hunted by versions of themselves they want to keep hidden. Their stories move with what feels like tide pacing, each adding several inches of water with every new chapter. They are, however, made more interesting to follow by a critical detail, that one of them has long learned to compartmentalize all her negative emotions and thus cannot afford to feel any sorrow. As secrets unfold about her children, one wonders whether she might drift from them as she focuses on finding the anonymous sender.

The conclusion of Sarah Vaughan’s Based on a True Story left me stunned. As someone drawn to psychological suspense that digs beneath the surface, this hit exactly the right nerve. Readers who’ve ever felt the tension between their outward persona and their inner truth will find an uncomfortable, familiar echo in these pages—and that’s part of what makes it so powerful.

Poison Pill book cover with patient image.

Poison Pill by Anthony Lee

Reviewed by Lily Andrews

“Poison Pill” by Anthony Lee is a gripping medical thriller that plunges readers into the murky intersection of modern healthcare, corporate influence, and the greedy human desire for a quick fix. Told through Dr. Mark Lin, who speaks in the first person, it constructs an intelligent narrative that is not only suspenseful fiction but also a sharp critique of systemic failures within contemporary medicine and wellness culture.  Purchase Here.

Dr. Lin, a hospital-based internist at Ivory Memorial, encounters two medical cases that initially appear unrelated but later converge into a single investigative arc. The first involves a twenty-four-year-old male, Hector, who has been diagnosed with severe renal failure, where the arteries going into both kidneys are abnormally narrowed, almost blocked off. The second case involves a thirty-one-year-old male, Robbie, who has progressive respiratory failure. Both cases take Dr. Lin by surprise, not just because of the patients’ relatively young age, but also because neither condition has an immediately clear cause. As he investigates further, he discovers that both patients have a troubling pattern. They have been using weight-loss substances and energy boosters- a herbal supplement in Hector’s case and a pharmaceutical medication in Robbie’s case. What initially appears coincidental gradually evolves into suspicion, then into a clinical concern. Beginning with Hector’s case, his online search initially reveals nothing linking the supplement to renal failure. On the contrary, websites present the supplement as safe and beneficial. This absence of evidence just deepens his concern, pushing him to expand his search to the second case. He, however, is unaware that at this point he is no longer investigating an illness, but that he is approaching a system that will not merely resist exposure, but will respond with force, secrecy, and a craving for blood.

Dr. Lin’s as the narrator and protagonist, serves as the perfect anchor for this medical thriller. What’s most remarkable about him is how his determination is fueled not by hunger for ‘glory’ but by a relentless need to know and to help. His language is professional even when he is emotionally exhausted, and doesn’t overwhelm the reader or his distressed patients. One feels that he is not just eager to treat diseases but also the people, through ways that sometimes blur professional boundaries and place his career at risk. The supporting characters have been well crafted, each contributing in distinct ways to his mission. They include Dr. Carlos Chavez who helps Dr. Lin unfold a system that often treats symptoms, not mysteries, Ethan Harrington and Jennifer Brinks who personify the aggressive marketing machine, Alfonso Romano who offers a surprise, critical plot twist and Harold Lin, Dr. Lin’s father who becomes the protagonist’s emotional catalyst, and whose actions and moral stance propel his son into a visceral, deeply personal crusade.

“Poison Pill” by Anthony Lee is without a doubt a rare medical thriller that transcends genre through its portrayal of an industry where good intentions, financial survival, and greed often become dangerously intertwined. Its title functions as a metaphor, symbolizing toxic substances, poisoned systems, and the often invisible yet dangerously consequential forms of manufactured harm. Undoubtedly, it is a timely read, offered to the world at a time when wellness influencers are dominantly taking over digital spaces, and when the line between ‘well’ and ‘woo’ is getting more blurred by the hour through slick marketing. I believe that its clarion call is loud enough to have readers look twice at what they consume, what they trust, and what they believe.

Horror book cover with giant skull.

Monster Hunting in Newtonville by Viktor Csák

Reviewed by Daniel Ryan Johnson

The postapocalyptic world created by Viktor Csák is vast. Even if you are unaware that Monster Hunting in Newtonville is a follow-up to his novel Welcome to the Silent Zone, it is quickly clear that there is a much bigger story out there than the snapshot we see in this book. At the same time, readers new to the universe can dive right in without feeling lost.  Purchase Here.

Csák does a great job of building suspense throughout the novel, and the end of each chapter makes you eager to start the next. While there is not too much time devoted to character building, the cast of the story is still compelling, and the reader is drawn into their story. Despite not being a direct sequel, Monster Hunting in Newtonville does feature a brief appearance by the main characters of the original novel as they pass through town, hinting that their story will continue to be told in further works.

Throughout the story, the main character, John Debenham, is focused on his plan to earn a ride off the continent so he can find his wife and daughter, who escaped at the beginning of the pandemic. However, it is almost immediately clear that this plan will not go smoothly, and throughout the book, one thing after another goes wrong. One of the most intriguing aspects of the story is how John adapts to these setbacks and continues to find ways to work toward his ultimate goal.

Monster Hunting in Newtonville is more than a horror-thriller. It is also a commentary on our modern world. The story depicts a brutal world that, aside from the horrors of a zombie-like apocalypse, is not unlike our own. Even while North America has fallen to this infection, the world moves on. The tragedy and destruction that have become a part of the everyday lives of the survivors captivate the world for a time, but then other disasters and conflicts elsewhere begin to draw the rest of the world’s attention away. This reflects many of the current wars and conflicts around the world, where support for those suffering through these tragedies begins to falter as new problems arise elsewhere that draw global attention away.
