Reading is a big part of our summer or at least mine and my daughter’s, we both love to read! So, when I had the chance to check out Trollhunters by Guillermo del Toro and Daniel Kraus, I was super excited. I love a good young adult novel, especially one that has a bit of a creep factor! I love to get on the edge of my seat during reading and with Toro behind Trollhunters I have no doubt that is exactly what will happen. In case you didn’t know, Toro is behind Pan’s Labyrinth and Hellboy, so he knows his “edge of your seat” stuff.
Here’s Toro talking a bit about Trollhunters:
About Trollhunters
“You are food. Those muscles you flex to walk, lift, and talk? They’re patties of meat topped with chewy tendon. That skin you’ve paid so much attention to in mirrors? It’s delicious to the right tongues, a casserole of succulent tissue. And those bones that give you the strength to make your way in the world? They rattle between teeth as the marrow is sucked down slobbering throats. These facts are unpleasant but useful. There are things out there, you see, that don’t cower in holes to be captured by us and cooked over our fires. These things have their own ways of trapping their kills, their own fires, their own appetites.”
Jim Sturges is your typical teen in suburban San Bernardino— one with an embarrassingly overprotective dad, a best friend named “Tubby” who shares his hatred of all things torturous (like gym class), and a crush on a girl who doesn’t know he exists. But everything changes for Jim when a 45-year old mystery resurfaces, threatening the lives of everyone in his seemingly sleepy town. Soon Jim has to team up with a band of unlikely (and some un-human) heroes to battle the monsters he never knew existed.
From the minds of horror geniuses Guillermo del Toro and Daniel Kraus comes a new illustrated novel about the fears that move in unseen places.

The only suspense books I read, are true crime novels. They can be quite suspenseful.
I want/need a laptop. They have some good deals on those.
My favorite suspense book is Defending Jacob.
