My favorite read in 2024

Book cover of The Olympian Affair

Seth Tucker ❤️ loved this book because...

The world and characters of The Olympian Affair are so fully fleshed out that it is easy to get drawn into the dangers and intrigues that surround them. Each subplot and character added their own special spice to the story and constantly kept me engrossed in the dangers that threatened to engulf them. The world is incredible with creatures and dangers that are definitely one of a kind.

My 2nd favorite read in 2024

Book cover of The Forgotten Room

Seth Tucker ❤️ loved this book because...

It's a great ghost story with a likable lead and an intriguing mystery to solve. The author combines science and the occult to craft an unsettling tale that kept me hanging onto my seat to the thrilling conclusion. Even though this is the fourth book in a series (the first one that I read), I felt perfectly at ease with the characters and was persuaded to read the rest of the series. The real-worldesque approach to occult events with scientific underpinnings really drew me in.

My 3rd favorite read in 2024

Book cover of Six Rooms

Seth Tucker ❤️ loved this book because...

This book is more than it seems to be. It says that it's a ghost story, and this is true, but it is insufficient of a descriptor. This book is an emotionally fueled look into a single home with a group of tourists, who learn more about themselves through the titular six rooms. I felt deeply for these characters, while also learning more about the manifestations of the house.

By Gemma Amor,

Why should I read it?

1 author picked Six Rooms as one of their favorite books, and they share why you should read it.

What is this book about?

Welcome, all, to the Sunshire Chateau: Lestershire’s premier tourist attraction. It sits high on a hill overlooking town, shrouded by tall trees and rumors of murder, scandal and intrigue. Tickets are hard to come by, so hold yours close, else the Tour Guide may not let you in. And that would be a pity, for there are so many things to see within these walls–history, glamor, and riches beyond your wildest imagination. Just remember the following rules: don’t wander off alone, don’t be rude to the Guide, and don’t, whatever you do, touch the valuables.

Because the ghosts don’t like…


Don‘t forget about my book 😀
