Raimbault’s The Death Mask was one crazy ride. It was like walking down a lazy country road listening to a elder tell stories of their past, replete with the rambling and penchant for repetition. Don’t get me wrong. I enjoy my gramps’ stories, rambling and all. Hey, everyone loves gossip. For a book, it […]

Book Review: On Parson’s Creek by Richard Sutton
Sutton accurately portrayed a young man trying to fit into a new school. Making friends can be so difficult when you are an outsider. make friends when he’s seen as an outsider.
Book Review- Constructed of Magic and Other Poems on the Immortality of the Human Spirit by Louis Alan Swartz
I really rather enjoyed Swartz’ collection of poems in the book Constructed of Magic, despite many of the poems involving rhyming . Rhyming poems are usually a big turn-off for me. Many of the poems in this book dealt with a difficult topic for most people- death. Yet, Swartz’ take on things is more light-hearted. […]
Book Review- The Ashes of Waterloo by Olivia Andem
Reviewed for Reader’s Favourite Andem’s Ashes of Waterloo isn’t my typical fare. I’m not the biggest fan if historical romance (or romance in general), but I’ve been working to expand my reading horizons. I do greatly enjoy historical fiction in general, and this book provided a great story. The title is what captured my attention […]

Reviewed via BooksGoSocial I know, I know! This review is a little on the short side compared to many of my others. Please forgive. I’ve been quite sick and fuzzy in the head.

Book Review- The Heartbeat Thief by AJ Krafton
Reviewed for Reader’s Favourite Krafton’s The Heartbeat Thief was not at all the book I expected. Now, that can be a good thing or a bad thing. In this case, it was a very good thing. It is a story of the greatest of loves, of sacrifice, and of lessons harshly learned. It is a […]
Book Review- The Light Who Binds by Lilo Abernathy
The Light who Binds by Lilo Abernathy is the second in a series. The writing style drew me in right away, and I found myself enjoying the story despite a growing disenchantment with books that involve vampires (and werewolves). I’m beginning to have the same disenchantment with books using fae, though there’s still so much […]
Book Review- Leighton’s Summer
Despite a bit of a slow start, Leighton’s Summer soon drew me in. This is the story of a young man with an unusual gift on the cusp of his sixteenth birthday. It is 1945, after the end of World War II. Leighton Cavendish, our young protagonist, is devastated to […]
Book Review- Secrets of the Home Wood: The Sacrifice by Julie Whitley
Down the rabbit hole, figuratively speaking. Whitley’s Secrets of the Home Wood is a captivating read that draws the reader in right from the beginning. Home Wood is not your average old growth forest. Bordering the James’ family’s farm, it hides a dark and wondrous secret. One designed to ensnare any who wander too close. […]
