When Chuck Warren dies in the old Mill, Paz Espino knows that it was no accident. No one believes Paz when she tries to warn everyone of the monster under the town, though, and so she takes it upon herself, and her three friends, to kill it.

Who remembers my old posts on State of the ARC? Back in 2018-19, my backlist ARCs were starting to pile up on me, after so many years of being dedicated to posting all ARC reviews two weeks before the release of the book. I was scheduling these things months in advance sometimes, and it was always some stress off my shoulders to have these reviews done so consistently. Then, I made the mistake that I know plenty of people do–I requested too many, and then I was done for.
Now that I’m back into the reviewing cycle (kind of), I’m intent on getting this all sorted out. Thanks to my procrastinating on all of these, I can take advantage of the fact that all of these ARCs are now published–meaning I can read them as audiobooks or physical books from the library. I’m not stuck with just awkward eARC copies that might not even work.
So here I am, back to this meme, and ready to conquer this pile of books.
