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.

This time Raven is boxing all over chasing a large quest line. But no matter how much he digs the secrets keep getting deeper and deeper. Now a new enemy is appearing. I like the evolution of the world in response to the changes happening due to the game. Raven’s advancement in this book, albeit…

Book 2 of the Hardy Boys. This fun exciting adventure has the boys dealing with some hardcore criminals. The boys father goes missing, can they get him back? Lots of narrow escapes, problem solving, and a haunted house. A fun adventure for those young teens, especially boys.

Book 1 of the Hardy Boys. The junior detectives are on a race against their dad to solve this case. I liked that this showed the difference between an adult vs child even though they do a lot of great things there are points where they needed help. That does not mean the responsibility was…

Unless the next book is crazy long, I am assuming that it will not be the end of the story. I was hoping for a bit more on the other two development paths in this one. Aside from that, Raven continues to bounce around still being the good guy. The hints that the next book…

Raven is still on his constant pace of trying to keep up with everyone and everything. Although, we do gain deeper insights to his past. We are coming up on the last two books in the series and while I expect the next book to be a builder for book 11, there’s still seems to…

This book delved even deeper into the mystery and now we get to interact with players from other servers. I love that Raven is not so overpowered that he can waltz through everything, well at least without a bunch of luck. Good use of skills and interesting development mechanics leave you excited to see where…
