  • Tenacity

    Book 9 of The Completionist Chronicles. The next step and a very cool insight into selfishness and the hidden detriments that go with it. Also, what would a Tower Defense game look like in a novel. Ok. So a little strange with more to follow, but still done in a way that did not make…

  • Implode

    Book 8 of The Completionist Chronicles. Strong advancement while losses mount. This book is strongly about boon and bain. It is noted a lot, but I like that every choice has both good and bad repercussions. This is overlooked in a lot of novels. Good twists and betrayals. Overall a great addition and way to…

  • Invent

    Book 7 of The Completionist Chronicles. This book takes us in a very unexpected direction. Still lots of crafting and plenty of time in the landfill, but besides that a fun and interesting set of challenges that leaves us on the brink. The story has stayed strong even as you realize that this is a…

  • Inflame

    Book 6 of The Completionist Chronicles. This one takes us to the next level. A lot of humeros parts and normal silly puns on real world items. I did enjoy the reference to President Musk. Overall, this was a good read maintaining a great balance of good and bad things happening allowing the main character…

  • Ruthless

    Book 5 in the Completionist Chronicles. This book is a strong step forward in the series. As we follow Joe as he ranks up over and over again. I liked the balance between good things and bad things that happen as he struggles forward. It is a good balance where he is not too powerful,…

  • Essence

    This was an anthology based on Divine Dungeon. That said, I enjoyed some of the stories more than others. You really need to have read the series to enjoy these and even then they are not as engaging as I remember the Divine Dungeon series being. I am going to read the spinoff series and…

  • Chilling Reflections

    Book 3 of Villain’s Code. Bring the third book in the series, you have to ask if this is the beginning to a much larger plot or is this a simple wrap up that leaves us knowing that there will always be more threats out there. The interesting thing on this one were the questions…

  • Mad Master Alchemist

    This stand alone novel follows my personal favorite character. And after following Alph, I have to still say that he is my favorite. The absent minded professor in a fantasy world. You have to love him as he blows stuff up with a vengeance. If you’re dumb enough to cross him, we’ll read the book.…

  • The Mystery of the Wild West Bandit

    Book 135 of the Boxcar Children series. This fun one takes us to a Texas reenactment town. A movie company wants it and mysterious things are happening. I like the focus on motivations and more on how what one person wants can cloud their judgement on what damage they might do. A good wholesome read.

  • Culmination

    Book 9 of Battle Mage Farmer. When you have a series this long it takes a book to wrap it up. Not to say this did not leave room for more books, just that it was a great conclusion to a fun and exciting series. I liked how this ties to Titan and allows for…
