Review; Tethered by Bryce Gibson

A while ago I read the horror novel Tethered by Bryce Gibson and today I'll post my review.

Description from Goodreads
THE BITE IS WORSE THAN THE BARK!

The rural area where nineteen-year-old Aiken Pine grew up is a place that nobody seems to leave, but Aiken is one that got away-at least for a little while. Before Aiken became a high school dropout, he had big plans for the future. But one horrible mistake changed everything. When his younger sister stabs the head cheerleader, Aiken is forced to go home. Everybody says it was bullying that led to the fight, but Aiken is convinced there's more to the story. As he begins to unravel the mystery, Aiken is faced with other things from the past-an intricate web of secrets and lies among high school friends.And, even with all of that, Aiken has another problem... there's a sinister dog that's been following him around. A dog that's out for blood!

My Thoughts on the Book
I've read a couple of other books by Bryce Gibson earlier and I was looking forward to this one. It did not disappoint. We're quickly thrown into the fast-paced plot where not everyone is who they appear to be. It's an engaging read and the rural setting makes it a lot more interesting. In small communities where everyone knows everyone, or that's what one would think, that makes the creepy level go up a little bit.

Tethered is for sure a quick and fast-paced horror/thriller I'd recommend.

Announcing the 2022 Diversity Reading Challenge

Image
As we're writing 2022 in two months, I figured out it was time to announce the 2022 Diversity Challenge. I've hosted it in 2019 and 2021, and decided to host it next year too. I’m not going to make any categories or levels for this challenge, as I want it to be a bit flexible. Read as many books as you feel like reading and yes, it can be children’s books, graphic novels, e-books, non-fiction, audio books, poetry and you-name-it. As it is a diversity reading challenge, it would be mean to exclude some types of reading materials, right? Now, what is diversity you might ask? What I mean by diversity is, but not limited to; People of colour/non-caucasian characters/authors Native Americans and other indigenous people LGBTQIA+ Authors/characters defining themselves as trans, intersex, genderfluid or similar Refugees Religious minorities Mental illnesses/disorders Neurodiversity (like ADD, Aspergers and autism) Feminist themes/issues Physical/mental disabilities Characters/authors w...
