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 is a classic story. If you have not heard about it, I believe you must be living under a rock. This book has great pacing and really weaves in bible to the story. The voices are very distinct and the plot is engaging. I would recommend this one is a strong read. I am…

This is book 4 of the Animorphs. I have been expecting for these books to get significantly better. They are still a little clunky with the pacing. They are good books but still need that little something that makes it great. All said it is still on the recommend list.

The Boxcar children have a new mystery on their hands. A fun winter cabin adventure. This is not among my top favorites of the Boxcar series. However it was a fun adventure that would key into those young readers out there. If you love short quick adventures then reading about the Boxcar Children is for…

Another of the Animorphs. Still a fast pace middle grade series. This was, so far in the series, the best. The author has hit stride and got pacing right and excitement. If you have hung in there so far, you will be glad you did. The books are stand alone enough you could pick up…

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…
