3 Stars This was an okay read. To start I was sort of into it. Almost half the book really. A story about a boy who hears the cries of his dead stepmother in the old Manor house coupled with the smell of gingerbread. There’s a lot to love here, but I felt the story... Continue Reading →
Chasing Lies
5 Stars I really enjoyed this book. The tension, suspense and overall writing style were excellent. There isn’t much I can say that I wasn’t really into while reading this. Unfortunately, this story had one of my biggest triggers so I had to bow out almost a third in. Let’s start off with the few... Continue Reading →
Two Can Witch the Game
4 Stars This was such a fun read. I was into this from the very first page. The pacing, the humour. Everything about this was just awesome. It was hard not to love this. In this second instalment, Cassandra finds herself again at the centre of a murder. As her friend, Penny, seems to be... Continue Reading →
Not Like Us (An Ilse Beck FBI Suspense Thriller—Book 1)
3 Stars This is a very well written suspense thriller. I am that guy that watches serial killer documentaries and everything from NCIS to Criminal Minds so this was right up my alley. It starts off well. Someone, Dr. Beck, who has suffered through trauma then becoming a therapist who helps others with trauma and... Continue Reading →
The Unwanted Guests
2Stars I purchased this short story with high hopes. This being Werewolf horror I went in expecting to be thrilled and excited with tension. I actually read it really fast and didn’t know what to make of it. Then just to see if maybe I was in a bad state of mind I reread it,... Continue Reading →
Idriel’s Children (Odriel’s Heirs Book 2)
3 Stars This story was well written. It hit all the notes that I would expect in a good fantasy novel. The world was great, the characters okay. It was honestly a very easy read which made this review tough. But ultimately it gets three stars because some things just didn’t sit well overall. Firstly... Continue Reading →
Best Foot Forward
3 Stars This was an interesting read. A story about a man suffering with depression and how a chance encounter helps him overcome that circumstance. The fight scenes were fun. The plot flowed at a nice pace. It was a nicely laid out story but it felt, easy. Which is fine but not quite as... Continue Reading →
True Loaf: A Balkan Folklore Inspired Short Story
3 Stars This story started off okay. It had some nice setup, strange gruff man demands an item. Girl goes into woods to find the item to carry out request. On the surface most of this story makes sense. There’s nothing really too out of the ordinary for a fairy-tale dark, light, or in-between. The... Continue Reading →
Sick
3 Stars This book seemed right up my alley. I went into it expecting something dark twisted and possibly more than a bit uncomfortable. In the beginning this almost seemed like it might pay off but as I got deeper into it, it became painfully obvious where it was actually going. The story starts off... Continue Reading →
Karik’s First Battle
2 Stars This book had all the makings of awesome. And I mean all of them. Journey through harsh lands, legends becoming real, everyday humans becoming heroes, and dragons. We can’t have an epic fantasy novel without dragons after all. Unfortunately, it didn’t lift off the page. The narration style left the story feeling kind... Continue Reading →
