Review: Carry On by Rainbow Rowell
Why yes, this does sound a lot like Harry Potter meets Twilight, doesn’t it? Admittedly, when I read the premise I thought the same myself. As I started to read, I was wary of the similarities but my faith in … Continue reading

Review: Asylum #3: Catacomb by Madeleine Roux
Let me start off by saying I adore everything about this trilogy of books (starting with Asylum and Sanctum). It has become tradition for me to read them during the October read-a-thon and feature them as part of Murder, Monsters & Mayhem. … Continue reading
Review: Pop Goes the Weasel: A Detective Helen Grace Thriller by M. J. Arlidge
This is the second book in a brilliant series by author M.J. Arlidge. I read the first, Eeny Meeny, over the summer and was instantly transfixed and, to be completely honest, terrified by this writer’s work. Arlidge is an exceptional story-teller, … Continue reading

Review: The Appearance of Annie Van Sinderen by Katherine Howe
It doesn’t take a genius to realize that Annie is a ghost. Wes is a little slow on the uptake, however, not fully comprehending what Annie is until she makes it glaringly obvious. In his defense, she wasn’t your typically … Continue reading
Review: Andersonville by Edward M. Erdelac
Whoa. That’s all I could say after I flipped through the final pages. I can say, without a doubt, that this is like anything unlike I have ever read. Andersonville was an actual prison camp. It was know for its … Continue reading
Review at a Glance: Above the Waterfall by Ron Rash
Ron Rash is one of those authors whose work is known, yet not appreciated as it should be. He excels at exposing the dark and gritty parts of small town Appalachian life, yet infusing it with the genuine natural … Continue reading
