Kindle Review – Kindle Fire Review, Kindle 4 Review

Amazon continues to add free books for the kindle – 2 added today.

1. The Monstrumologist by Rick Yancey. It’s about the study of monsters and seems rather interesting. Publishers Weekly like it enough to write – Yancey’s series starter might just be the best horror novel of the year.
   

   The Monstrumologist

2. Holidaze by L. Divine.  

Both books are already on the Kindle Store Bestsellers chart. These increase the number of Kindle Store Free Offers this month to 10.

The Monstrumologist is interesting – reading the reviews and this is the first free book in a long time that’s captured my imagination. Reviewers are writing things like -

this book did give me a fright and I had trouble sleeping for several nights due to it

I know the age is for teen fiction, but at 40+ I found this story to be delightfully gory and scary.

I very much enjoyed this book! The author’s writing style and the words he uses very much reminded me of some of H.P Lovecraft’s writings. In other places the gruesome descriptions made me think of someone like Clive Barker or Stephen King.

Definitely going on my ToRead list aka the Kindle 2.
