  • The Alloy of Law

    Book 4 (1) of Mistborn. This starts a new arc that is years in the future. First off are the characters. The main and supporting characters are great. I like the mix in the magic that has evolved over time. Secondary, this book while kicking off the next arc also could work as a standalone.…

  • The House of Cross

    Book 33 of the Alex Cross series. This appears to be the conclusion of the M arc. New stages happening again, government plots, deep secrets. It is a fun chilling adventure into the snowy backcountry of Canada. If you follow the series this book will be more of what you enjoy. High danger, serial killings,…

  • Always, Clementine

    This yelling will have your heart breaking for lab animals. The book should be if it isn’t already a Disney movie. Aside from that it is a beautiful book about friendship, loyalty, and being yourself and accepting yourself as you are while still trying to be the best you possible. Overall, it is a fun…

  • The Night in Lonesome October

    This standalone novel is a good neat Halloween read. Most of the novel you’re just trying to figure out what is going on and which side is which. Our main character is a dog, who has played the game before. Bad things are about and deaths abound. It all leads up the the conclusion on…

  • The Hero of Ages

    Book 3 of the Mistborne series. This one completes the Era 1 portion of the series and provides a satisfactory ending. This is a good series. This is epic fantasy and as such it is slower in points. In the end the slow burn is worth it and we bid farewell to our friends as…

  • A Decade of Death and Decisions

    This interesting compilation of story with audience participation. This compilation while fun and clever is annoyingly written in 2nd person. I nearly stopped reading this book because of that fact and would have missed on a very fun Halloween adventure. That said this is written for a mature audience due to language, alcohol and drug…

  • Let’s Get Invisible

    Book 6 of the original Goosebumps series. This one follows his classic flow with a bit of magic put into the ordinary world. I guess my only complaint is that he tells us that Max likes Erin but then that whole part of the storyline isn’t developed any further. Overall a fun kid’s horror book…

  • Alumni

    Book 2 of the Artorian’s Archive series. This is epic fantasy, don’t think anything is going to happen quickly. That said it is a fun cultivation novel. The interesting part of this series is that Artorian is so old, reminiscent of Up. Aside from that the growth progression is very slow, more along the idea…

  • Noa in the Flesh

    Book 3 of the World of Change series. This is the end of this Arc of the series. It is well done and exciting to the end. One interesting game works functions that took the place of the standard cultivation path. Insane level gains seem to be negated by everyone around him just getting stronger…

  • Pearl of the South

    Book 2 of the World of Change series. This book takes us through several ups and downs along with several restarts. I have loved the difference in this one. The fun addition of hacking is a fun way to take what would normally be a negative and turn it to a positive. Overall this is…
