If you’ve read the self-help and improvement books and are due for a change a pace, you’ve stopped by the right place. The books I review for bellaonline are meant to entertain and send shivers down the spine. Each of us wants a little something different and whether I enjoy a horror book or not doesn’t necessarily mean that you will.

What I will try to do in my reviews is not only review the quality of the writing and the plot, but also the amount of violence portrayed so you can judge for yourself if it’s too graphic or too tame for your taste. I will be updating and adding to this collection of reviews so stop by any time you want to look over the latest additions to the list.
