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.

Final releases book of the Alex Delaware series. This is definitely what you would expect at this point in the series. One of the top of the series so far. The funnest part of this was the process on a super cold case. This one has twists and turns right to the end. If you…

Nearing the end of the released to date series. Of course he has these novels dialed in. That said sometime the endings get a little to neat. But there was a definite psychological twist to this one. I liked the concept and as expected the pacing and story were on point. This one was a…

Minus the totally misleading title of this novel. I thought this a good follow up to the first Animorphs book. Obviously this series is reminiscent of so many others and yet has some unique aspects. The pacing is great and the action flows. Not a lot of story as these are very short books. But…

Getting almost to the written to date end of the Alex Delaware novels. What can I say the master has me chewing and enjoying each and every morsel. This again lands in the top 10. Loved the premise and the deduction. The pacing as well as the plausibility. This is a recommend. Still strongly an…

This was book 2 of the Way of the Shaman series. The book was paced well and kept me involved. My one complaint is waking at 2:00 in the morning ticked off that the author had blatantly violated the standard 3 try series and as such had temporarily stopped me reading. Looking from the end,…

The Alden kids are in a deep mystery this time. This was a little more like a mystery than the early books. Again these feel less cheesy and more like a fun mystery. Are they still age appropriate for the young ones? Absolutely yes. If you have a kid that is struggling to read. This…

The boxcar children are at it again and as you guessed it this time they are aboard a train. These short books get better each installment. Still a little cheesy but aside from that enjoyable reads. I would recommend this book of you just want to get a taste of the Alden family adventures.

I was delighted that this novel was more to my liking. I felt like this was a much stronger novel. Lots of great twists and red herrings to keep you guessing. The end of the novel I thought was a little coincidental on timing which I felt was unbelievable. That said I think this is…

Alex is hot after the next group of baddies. However this novel was not the same caliper as the last two. Did I enjoy it? Yes. But that said this felt like far less of the psychology and more of The “who dunnit”. That said there were good twists but it felt like this novel…

Book 1 of Animorphs. This is a strong middle grade book. Was it well paced, yes. Did it remind me of Power Rangers? Yes. For the length is it worth the read? Still going with a yes on this one. I would say that boys and girls age 10 and up would enjoy this. Also,…
