Brilliant ?

Review from Chiaroscuro: The Mouse and the Candle →

This book was fascinating. It’s so much more than just another vampire book. A story of hope, trust & faith. A look at the background of vampires and their myths vs truths. You’re following the incredible journey of a little girl and a priest who are tested in many ways as to whether or not..

Magical Oliver Twist

Review from Twins of Orion: The Book of Keys →

A magical Oliver Twist. Two twins are separated and inside of the Foster Care system, and not the good side of the Foster Care system, which is the part that always gets highlighted anyway. This book is meant for young readers, but there’s enough complexity of plot and character development for adults to find satisfying..

Unique idea

Review from Forever Warriors →

Unique, enjoyable, and engaging story. The performance was well done. Parents: there is some language in this book. Enough to be PG-13 as a film for sure. There is also a scene that could be triggering for those that have suffered from sexual crimes but there isn’t any nudity or lewd descriptions. —I was given..

Written for a young audience

Review from Fade to Black →

Overall this was a decent book but it really felt like it was being written for the teen/tween age group. If that was the authors objective then they did a great job. The characters have a decent amount of back story and intrinsic motivation for their actions. You are led into the secrets of each..

Awesome short adventure

Review from Hoods: The Beginning →

HOODS: THE BEGINNING is a novella that is setting up what I hope to be a series about a group of Runaways-esque (the comic not the band) superheroes in the city of San Valencez. This is, for those fans of David Niall Wilson’s other works, the setting for his Dechance Chronicles books. It is a..

Lots of Potential

Review from Hoods: The Beginning →

San Valencez has a problem. Gangs are overrunning the city and the cops are too corrupt to do anything about it. It’s not even safe for high school kids to get to and from school because every street seems to be the territory of one gang or another. Which sets up the action of the..

Great crafting based LitRPG

Review from Crafter’s Passion →

‘Crafter’s Passion’ is a really great LitRPG book that is unique in my experience in that it is both light on the stats (not crunchy) and deals with someone looking at the world from a crafting perspective instead of the usually ‘slash, slash, loot’. The only issue I have with the book is that I..
