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.

Alex in the thick of it again. This was not my favorite so far but was still pretty good. Defiantly mature audience advised. This one felt a little like it was jumping around in the beginning as though it was not sure where to go. Even looking back there are parts that feel mashed together…

I like books that have medical background and this is that book. I like that she talks about healing the brain and not just from one perspective but through a number of things. I like that she lists out the supplements she thinks will help and why you should take it. All in all I…

If you are old enough to remember the video game Dungeon Keeper then you’ll get the plot of this book. However the narrative the author puts to it, albeit with a lot of “gamer” terms thrown in is still fun. The pacing was good and kept me engaged. I loved the duel POV, that kept…

Somehow I got out of order on this one and ended up on book 3 of the Hopalong Cassidy series. However as a stand-alone it read fine. No surprise that Louis L’Amour is one of the all time great writers. He keeps the story engaging and moving forward and so what if Cassidy is luckier…

I felt like the tone of this book changed. Partly because this explored Alex sans Milo. Snooping and getting way too involved yet again. To me this novel was another step to typical thriller. That said it was very enjoyable and the pacing good. There is some pluses and minuses to this book but still…

Alex is after a serial killer. This novel is the closest so far to a standard thriller. Really drags you in and keeps the pages turning. Especially as red herring after red herring fools your thoughts at the killer. In the end it was a satisfying read more gruesome but less on the sex side.…

This one surprised me because it felt more traditional thriller until the red herring was exposed. I did enjoy this one. Alex does get into danger again and we are back to The Milo and Alex team. This one bordered an ‘R’ rating, definitely PG-13, for sexual descriptions. This was an evaluation on elitism and…

Alex is following yet another crimewave. This book goes back to the same setup as earlier novels focusing in on a specific psychosis. However, this was the rare novel where Dr. Delaware isn’t in real danger. The novel still reads well and feels more plausible than the last one. Still great pacing though I feel…

This was the first western I have ever read. I was not sure what to expect, but I really enjoyed this novel by a writing icon. If you’ve never read or watched a western, then pick this up. It is a treat. Definitely romanticizes this time period, but also made me realize how much attitudes…

The conclusion to the Looking Glass Wars. This was a very good conclusion to the series. We get to see a lot more of the caterpillars. I am a sucker for happy endings and this one was perfect. On the whole the trilogy was well done and a neat spin on Wonderland. If you’ve read…
