In this video, Megan reviews *Anatomy: A Love Story* by Dana Schwarz, the first book in a YA duology. She describes the genre as historical fiction with Gothic mystery elements, perfect for the spooky season.
The story follows Hazel, a 17-year-old girl in 1818 Scotland, who is passionate about anatomy and dreams of becoming a surgeon, despite societal restrictions on women. After a plague takes her brother, Hazel disguises herself as a boy to attend the anatomist society but faces obstacles when she's discovered. With the help of Jack, a resurrection man, she acquires corpses to study, leading to further complications with her family and society.
Megan appreciates the book's setting, the female empowerment themes, and the grotesque elements of medical practice, though she notes that the plot is predictable and some aspects are unrealistic. She finds Hazel's actions concerning her engagement and romantic feelings for Jack frustrating, hoping for more development in the sequel.
Overall, she rates the book 3 out of 5 stars, recommending it for readers aged 12 and up, and invites viewers to share their thoughts in the comments.

![The Monkeys Paw by W.W. Jacobs [Full audiobook with English subtitles]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/FUU0bjhOTpw/hqdefault.jpg "The Monkeys Paw by W.W. Jacobs [Full audiobook with English subtitles]
This is an audiobook reading of the creepy short story The Monkeys Paw by W.W. Jacobs.
Summary:
The Monkeys Paw by W.W. Jacobs is a supernatural short story that revolves around a magical talisman and its tragic consequences.
The story centers on the White family: Mr. and Mrs. White and their son, Herbert. They come into possession of a mysterious monkeys paw, which has the power to grant three wishes to its owner. However, the paw also brings dire consequences for those who use it.
Despite warnings from a friend, Sergeant-Major Morris, about the paw’s dangerous nature, Mr. White makes a wish for money. Shortly after, Herbert dies in an accident at work, and the family receives compensation that matches the amount they wished for. Grieving and desperate, Mrs. White convinces Mr. White to use the paw to wish Herbert back to life.
As they await their son’s return, they are horrified when they hear a knock at the door, suggesting that Herbert has returned but in a horrifying state. In a panic, Mr. White makes a final wish, and the knocking stops.
The story ends with the implication that the family is left to deal with the consequences of their wishes, emphasizing the theme of unintended consequences and the dangers of tampering with fate.")

![The Highwayman by Alfred Noyes [Full audiobook with English subtitles]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/G4VHg-5RXQY/hqdefault.jpg "The Highwayman by Alfred Noyes [Full audiobook with English subtitles]
The Highwayman by Alfred Noyes is a narrative poem about a romantic but tragic relationship between a highwayman and Bess, the innkeepers daughter.
The poem begins with the highwayman riding through the night to meet Bess. Their love is intense but dangerous, as he is a fugitive. One night, soldiers arrive at the inn looking for him. To warn her lover, Bess sacrifices herself by shooting herself to alert him of the impending danger.
When the highwayman returns and discovers Bess dead, he is heartbroken and seeks revenge on the soldiers. In his grief, he rides into a confrontation, which ultimately leads to his own death.
The poem emphasizes themes of love, sacrifice, and the tragic consequences of their devotion, portraying a powerful bond that endures even beyond death.")

Megans review on her channel covers The Silver Blood Promise by James Logan, the first book in the Last Legacy series. She provides a spoiler-free overview, mentioning that the story follows Lucan, a disgraced noble who returns to investigate his estranged fathers murder. The book blends traditional fantasy elements with political intrigue and magical artifacts.
Megan praises the book for its pacing, engaging character relationships (especially between Lucan and his sidekick, Flea), and its accessibility for readers new to fantasy. However, she notes some drawbacks, including a deviation from the murder mystery plot and a sometimes unrealistic portrayal of Lucan. The book introduces many subplots and characters, which can feel rushed.
Overall, Megan enjoyed the book more than expected, giving it a 4 out of 5 stars, and plans to continue with the series. She invites viewers to share their thoughts on the book in the comments.
