Book 2 of the Iron Tyrant series. This book has slipped a little into epic fantasy, but there were some good fights. Advancement has slowed at this point. My guess is that this was a builder in the series and the next books will drive the story further. We do get a little more of…

Book 1 of the Iron Tyrant series. The beginning of a series of a card based magic system. Albeit I can see where people compare this to Yu-Gi-Oh this is not a card deck system and in fact is not too different than several other books that utilize a catalyst to give access to the…

Book 33 of the Goosebumps series. This one did not follow the same script and it was a good one. Due to the cover it was not hard to figure out the plot about half way through. Given that it was still a fun romp through a sports camp. I really enjoyed the “Only the…

This Newbery award winning book takes us to the Deep South, and a plantation on a swamp. It is interesting that even though fiction it is based on a little truth. The book shows hope and ingenuity that these people had in trying to escape slavery. There is a little redemption of the villain and…

Book 9 of the Tower series. I love the Thorne books. This takes place in the demon realm. OT favorite titan is back kicking butts and finding new ways to advance. The only disappointing part is that he spent little time forging and really creating anything new and cool. Also, would love to see a…

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…
