Thank you @the_writeReads for letting me be part of this tour and reviewing this book. Eerie Exhibits is short stories and is horror genre. I thoroughly enjoyed reading the different stories and they were all based about a museum. Eerie Exhibits was easy a read and each short story was fascinating and intriguing to read.

Thank you @KellyALacey @lovebookstours #Ad #LBTCrew #BookTwitter #FreeReview #FreeBookReview #ReadAlong for letting me part of this readalong. I have loved the book and tbe questions. The Calamities of Toterrum are book 2 in the series and is a fantasy genre. The story is a good pace that you can keep up with from the get-go. I loved the twist and turns, it totally threw me from what, I thought, was going to happen. Love it when that happens. The story is an action packed that keeps you hooked and engaged all the way through the book. The story is written elegantly, and I enjoyed getting to know the characters and seeing them develop through the book, and really hope there is a third book. I loved the first book and loved this book even more, love the magic and adventure. I feel young adults will love this series. A great read 4 stars.
