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.

Book 41 of the Goosebumps series. Standard boy, friend, bully layout. This was fun because it is about learning to be a magician. The storyline is not horror so much as just the very end. I did smile at the twist in the end. Overall a fun short read.

Book 32 of the Goosebumps series. Another new house, strange mysterious girl, and bully. That said it was a fun romp in the woods as a couple of mysterious black Labradors suddenly start showing up. The only problem is that no one else sees them. I liked the mystery behind this one and the “supernatural”…

Book 16 of The Good Guys. This was harder for me to get through. Whereas Clyde is more intrigue, Montana has always been about butt kicking. This one was not that and in fact even the little bit of fighting was somewhat subdued due to reasons. It isn’t that this was a bad book, it…

Book 11 of the Bad Guys series. Things are heating up the the bid for emperor. As our two stories run together, Clyde is actually helping Montana. Well, indirectly. Fun to visit an old place in this one. Also, I am excited to see how his magic evolves, given the book he is studying now.…

Book 10 of the Bad Guys series. It is great to see the two stories beginning to weave together. This is definitely full of intrigue and false fronts. Not to worry though, because petty crime is on the rise. Now the princess is back but there is something much deeper and sinister going on. Still…

Book 9 of the Bad Guys series. We made it to the City of Darkness. Lots of fighting, saving people and overcoming unconquerable odds. Seems like Clyde might actually make something of himself. I love that the bad guy actually tries to do what is right. Ready for strange and deadlier monsters? This was a…

This short story is deep and wonderful. What are the consequences of eternal life. I loved the nuances that this story touches on. The toad in comparison to the Tucks. Life moving on as those stuck are forever watching it change around them. I love the question asking if you would choose to live forever…

Book 8 of the Bad Guys series. This is the end of a mini arc in the arc we are working through right now. No, we don’t see the City of Darkness yet, but hey that does not leave our favorite elf out of the narrow escapes, saving the less fortunate, and taking on the…

Book 7 of the Bad Guys series. This time it is a side quest that ends up being the whole book. Not to worry, the world ending threat is probably more important that the city of darkness. Still fun to see level 3 Clyde bumble his way through trying to get back to level 9,…

Book 6 of the Bad Guys. This is the final step in the Corpse King arc. This time we go underground. We say goodbye to some old friends and spend time with a whole slew of new problems. But not to worry because would it be too not have strange Gods in the mix as…
