  • Monster Hunting 101

    Book 1 was of the Titan Termination series. This was a fun romp with a female protagonist a little reminiscent of Katniss Everdeen from Hunger Games. Almost a LitRPG twist on the character. Overall the magic systems are interesting with the skill trees and advancement along them unique. I really like the repercussions when using…

  • Say Cheese and Die – Again

    Book 44 of the Goosebumps series. The evil instant camera is back and causing havoc everywhere. I love the random take a picture and see what bad thing will happen. I also like the lesson of revenge on this one. Overall a fun short read that will leave you wondering how they’ll get out of…

  • The Runesmith’s Trials 5

    Book 5 and conclusion of the series. This book could have been a trilogy unto itself. So many things happen and it is thing after thing whirl wheeling down to the end. I did enjoy the series, and I like that it is open enough we could have more tales from this same universe. The…

  • The Runesmith’s Trials 4

    Book 4 and Artemis is still wheeling and dealing and maybe saving his girlfriend. He is still getting pulled into crazy life threatening situations and he only just barely escapes. A wild ride with a typical workaholic entrepreneur. Lots of fun, craziness, and spells/runes to keep you entertained. One book to go in this series.…

  • The Runesmith’s Trials 3

    Third book in the series and this is the beginning of his actual shift from being a peasant. That said there is still plenty of dungeon adventure, steamy times with his dragon girlfriend, and deals to be negotiated. I liked the shift in perspective that is beginning to happen as he moves from nothing to…

  • Runesmith Trials 2

    This is the second book of the series and there is plenty of battles, dungeon delving, and negotiations to go around. But not to worry because a certain person is also sending assassins against Artemis. Not to worry he is still advancing and getting stronger, not to mention his work at getting more runes. Overall…

  • The Runesmith’s Trials

    Book 1 of the series. This is a crafting and shopkeeper series. You get dungeon diving, shop building, and politics. Overall it is a good read, however there are some adult situations making it inappropriate for young readers. I liked the rune system and advancement felt about right for a first novel. This is a…

  • Egg Monsters from Mars

    Book 42 of the Goosebumps series. This is the standard weird stuff happens and it shows human greed. What would you do if you found a strange egg in your yard? And then when it hatched. The twist was just silly but other than that it wasn’t terribly horror. Overall a silly fun read.

  • Night of the Living Dummy III

    Book 40 of the Goosebumps series. Another Slappy story, the dummy who is alive. This one leans into the tried and true formula of kids who like to play pranks suffering the worst kind of prank. Most Slappy stories feel the same and this one followed suit. Aside from the dummy that keeps getting passed…

  • How I Got My Shrunken Head

    Book 39 of the Goosebumps series. This time we head to the jungle. A great jungle adventure with greed, betrayal, and magic. Overall a fun read that is a bit different than others in the series while keeping with the standard format. A fun quick read.
