This is a blog reviewing the latest book I have read along with the books I have self-published. Please feel free to follow along with my reading / writing journey.

This is book 3 of the 5-minute Sherlock series. This was a fun mystery through a Renaissance Fair. Twists, turns, and some good brawling makes for a great story. Continue to really enjoy the Sherlock Holmes tribute and hope Mr. Hayes will pick it up again and do more adventures. This one leaves the door…

Book 2 of 5-minute Sherlock. This was a fun case with lots of twists and turns. It will leave you guessing until the end. Great elements in this one and a darker presence. Excited to see where case 3 leads us. This one felt more Sherlock Holmes like, with them moving more into their roles…

Book 1 of 5-minute Sherlock. This was a great modern spin on Sherlock Holmes and Watson. A great many nods at the original. If the next two are as good as this one, it will be sad that there are only three. I really enjoyed this one. It is one part spy novel and one…

This is similar in store to CivCEO. However, a lot rougher. Interestingly, the main character is not a “champion” but an elf. I have to admit that while I liked the other novel more, this one has a special place too. This is more war based with an emphasis on mercenaries. The main character does…

As I started this novel, I thought we were headed down an Artemis Fowl clone. So much seemed similar, with even a Project called Artemis and a trip to Ireland. However, it quickly took on a life of its own, with no other true similarities. The main character is quirky in a good way. This…

The thrills and crazy battles continue as the progression continues. This one will have you on the edge of your seat right to the end. This one is gives us even more insights as we get more hints on how the system really works. A great second novel follow up and a great cast of…

This is the first book in the series and it really reaches out and grabs you. Great characters, crazy stakes, cheating worlders, and a wonderful remark in pay-to-win. Overall a great concept. With the references you could say it is a twisted Pokémon. So far this has come really new cool aspects of system appearing.…

I loved this one. Back to our favorite island. I really loved the whole damned if you don’t get stronger and damned when you do. Overall a great next step in the series and a builder for the major arc. I am excited for the next step in the series.

This book by the Vice President is a faith filled return to belief that he experienced. A thought provoking interesting look into life and the messy, hard, unthinkable times we go through. I love the anchor to faith and family. The perspective that really spoke to me was spending all our time chasing a dream…
