Plunging back into the underworld we follow Gregor the warrior as he battles his way through another prophecy. Only no one wants to tell him what this one is. Lots of familiar faces return both good and bad. If you’ve followed the adventure up to this point then this one will be very familiar and…

This is part of the SlappysWorld spin off from Goosebumps. A small quick read and a fun pirate adventure. Slappy does some commentary but does not appear in the actual novel. If you’re a Goosebumps fan then read on and enjoy.

This is an alternate history of Disney’s Aladdin story. It broaches the question of Aladdin never getting the lamp. It focuses more on the “street rat” angle of the story. It is darker but still manages a happy ending. Be warned there are killings and torture talked about but neither in great detail. I would…

I must confess I never saw the movie so I have not idea how it compares. First warning this is what I would consider either high PG-13 or R. Leaning mostly toward an R rating. This book is very slow at the first and I almost quit several times but it was recommended to me…

Must better escalation, but still leaves you without a big payoff. This story is reminiscent of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, with a strange vampire twist. Excellently done and kept the pages turning. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

The next installment of the vampire series. This one is a two parter, be aware and set to read the next book as it ends in a “to be continued”. It is still a great read. Fasted paced and filled with the wonders of the vampire world this book is mainly focused on the trip…

Middle grade book and a short read. This would be great for child around 11 years old. The main character is a girl who is setting out to be a knight. All around wholesome and fun. Great recommend for that young reader.

Here is book 3 in the series. A very fun read but there was still parts I would have liked to have seen done just a little differently. Of the three books I think this one is the closest aligned to the Hunger Games trilogy.

A good middle grade / younger adult novel. Gregor returns to the underworld because of another prophecy. A lot of our old friends return but most fade into the background. I think she should have done more with Raging, but a fun adventure book that is sure to entertain.

The second part of The Shining. If you have seen or read The Shining then this squeal is for you. With a whole new issue and cast of characters except for one special boy we rejoin him much later in life. However that special hotel though burned to the ground is not forgotten.
