Summary: In her YouTube video, Megan reviews "The Last Time I Lied" by Riley Sager, marking it as the last book she needed to read from the author. Published in 2018, the story follows 28-year-old Emma, who grapples with the traumatic disappearance of her campmates from 15 years prior. Emma returns to Camp Nightingale as a painting teacher, hoping to uncover the truth behind their vanishing.
Megan highlights the book's slow start but praises its intricate plot and surprising reveals, especially regarding Emma's unreliable narration and her struggles with hallucinations related to her past trauma. She notes her frustration with a character named Detective Flynn and appreciates the well-placed red herrings throughout the story. However, she mentions that she struggled to connect with the characters and the camp setting wasn't atmospheric enough for her liking.
Ultimately, Megan rates the book 3 out of 5 stars, recommending The Last Time I Lied as a summer read for mystery lovers.
As the story unfolds, Mrs. Sappleton enters and discusses her husband and brothers as if they are still alive, which confuses Framton. Just then, the three men walk in through the open window, alive and well. Terrified, Framton flees the house. The story ends with Vera revealing that she made up the story to play a prank on Framton, showcasing her cleverness and the theme of deception.

Summary:
The plot centers around Erica, who, after a traumatic childhood event involving a car accident that claimed her father's life, becomes entwined with the wealthy Christ family. She is informally adopted by them, particularly forming a bond with their son, Trevor, while Michael, the eldest son, treats her indifferently. Years later, following a mysterious incident on Devil's Night, Erica is implicated in a situation that leads to Michael's friends being imprisoned, which sets the stage for revenge.
Megan appreciates the engaging dual timeline and Halloween elements but criticizes Erica for her perceived weakness and poor decisions, as well as Michael's abusive tendencies. While the romance is spicy, she feels the chemistry between the characters is lacking. Overall, she rates the book 3 out of 5 stars, noting its strong emotional impact despite her issues with the characters, and suggests it’s suitable for readers who enjoy dark romance but warns others to approach it with caution.

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 narrative is presented through the diary of a woman who has been prescribed a "rest cure" by her husband, John, a physician. She is confined to a room in a rented mansion, where she is forbidden from engaging in any creative activities or intellectual stimulation. The room has yellow wallpaper that she initially finds repulsive.
As time passes, the woman becomes increasingly obsessed with the wallpaper, believing it hides a woman trapped inside. Her mental state deteriorates as she identifies with this figure, feeling more and more confined by her domestic life and the restrictions placed upon her.
Ultimately, she tears down the wallpaper in a desperate bid for freedom, symbolically liberating herself from the constraints of her environment. The story ends with her completely unhinged, but in her madness, she finds a sense of empowerment. The tale critiques the oppressive nature of societal expectations for women and highlights the consequences of denying them autonomy.
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.
Just before his hanging, he imagines escaping by plunging into the river below and swimming to freedom. In his mind, he experiences a vivid and exhilarating journey through the woods, evading capture and returning home to his family. However, the story culminates in a shocking twist: it is revealed that his escape was merely a hallucination occurring in the moments before his death. The narrative explores themes of time, perception, and the fragility of life.
But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8

"Lamb to the Slaughter" is a short story by Roald Dahl about a woman named Mary Maloney, who is pregnant and devoted to her husband, Patrick. One evening, Patrick comes home and informs Mary that he is leaving her. In a moment of shock and rage, she kills him with a leg of lamb.
Mary quickly devises a clever plan to cover up the crime. She cooks the lamb and serves it to the detectives who come to investigate her husband’s death, effectively disposing of the murder weapon. The story ends with the detectives unknowingly eating the evidence, while Mary giggles to herself, having successfully outsmarted them. The tale explores themes of betrayal, irony, and the duality of human nature.

Summary: In this video, Megan reviews *Credence* by Penelope Douglas, a contemporary romance novel. After enjoying Douglas's *Birthday Girl*, Megan decided to read this book, which she found quite different.
*Credence* follows 17-year-old Tiernan, who, after her wealthy parents die, moves to Colorado to live with her estranged uncle Jake and his two sons, Noah and Caleb. The story explores Tiernan's adjustment to a more self-sufficient life in the secluded mountains and her complex romantic relationships with Jake and his sons.
Megan's review is largely critical. She feels the book is overly long and that the plot, including its taboo elements, is a mess. She finds the characters, especially Caleb, poorly developed and problematic. Megan also critiques the romantic dynamics and the unrealistic handling of the characters' relationships. Despite some positive aspects, such as Tiernan's character development and the book's setting, Megan struggled with the book's execution and ultimately rated it 2 out of 5 stars.

As the story unfolds, the atmosphere shifts from charming to unsettling. The landlady's peculiar behavior and the strange details about her previous guests hint at darker themes. The story builds tension, culminating in a twist that reveals the landlady's true nature and her chilling intentions.

Summary: In this video, Megan reviews *RavenCry* by Ed McDonald, the second book in the Ravens Mark Trilogy. She previously reviewed the first book, *Blackwing*, which she enjoyed and found underrated. The series has a grimdark tone reminiscent of Joe Abercrombie’s work.
*RavenCry* continues the story of Ryhalt Galharrow, who now serves a sorcerer named Crowfoot. Set a few years after *Blackwing*, the plot involves political chaos in Valengaurd and a powerful artifact stolen from Crowfoot. Ryhalt and his team investigate, uncovering dark and gruesome elements within the city and a mysterious alternate reality.
Megan appreciates the dark, twisted setting of The Misery and Ryhalt’s morally gray character. She also highlights a significant and emotional scene involving a character named Amyra. However, she criticizes the book’s pacing, noting a slow start and a rushed climax. Megan rates *RavenCry* four out of five stars and recommends it to fans of gritty, dark fantasy.

In Ray Bradbury’s short story “There Will Come Soft Rains,” an automated house in a post-apocalyptic world continues its daily routines despite the absence of its human inhabitants. The house, equipped with advanced technology, performs tasks such as cooking, cleaning, and reading poetry with precise efficiency. However, it becomes evident that a catastrophic event, likely a nuclear war, has obliterated human life, leaving the house as the sole witness to the desolation.
The story contrasts the house's mechanical perfection with the emptiness of the surrounding environment. As the house goes about its activities, it eventually suffers damage from a fire and ultimately succumbs to destruction, symbolizing the impermanence of human achievements. The poem recited by the house, “There Will Come Soft Rains” by Sara Teasdale, echoes the theme that nature will continue to thrive even after humanity is gone. The narrative underscores the transitory nature of human existence and the enduring strength of the natural world.

Summary:
The Monkey's 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 monkey's 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.
