  • Review of “A Cast of Stones”

    Time to go over a new series that I recently found. A Cast of Stones by Patrick W. Carr is the first book in The Staff & The Sword series. It is the story of Errol Stone, a young man who is a drunk that it willing to do just about anything for coin to…

  • Review of “Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children”

    I first started this series back when it first started, when there was only one book instead of six and long before there was a movie. The series I am referring to is Miss Peregrine’s Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs. Recently, I decided to reread the earlier ones and catch up on the later ones…

  • Review of “Myrren’s Gift”

    This next book is a good one but a bit of a weird one. Myrren’s Gift is the first book in The Quickening trilogy by Fiona McIntosh.

  • Review of “Keeper”

    Today’s book is an odd one but a good one. I can legitimately say that this is possibly the only one I’ve come across that falls into this particular unique mix of genres. It is a ghost story that is neither horror nor mystery. At the same time it is a story about sport, specifically…

  • Review of “Relic”

    I read a lot of books and I do mean a lot of books, but I have to admit that I rarely get to read such a finely tuned blend of horror and science fiction as what I just read. Relic by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child is the first book in their Agent Pendergast…

  • Review of “Give Her Credit”

    I recently received an interesting book as part of my amazon Prime first reads. It was Give Her Credit by Grace L.
