Good plot Older than they were: The teenagers acted like they were in college rather than high school, mainly exhibited through a “Risky Business” style party. Layla was annoying, and lived up to the Eric Clapton song of her namesake Didn’t particularly care for any of the characters except for Felix as he seemed like […]
The Execution of Noa P. Singleton is a novel of why. Why would Noa commit this heinous crime? That is the question that is hit over the head like a dead horse and slowly we see inside its cranium. Like breadcrumbs, the reader was fed the story of Noa’s crime bit by bit. Although as […]
Novels that involve famed persons tend to be told through a female’s eye I did not find that to be the case in The Fortune Hunter. Daisy Goodwin’s book is one of a love triangle and is aptly told by all three participant’s point of view. It could very easily be told through the eyes […]
“The first time, you can’t believe how much it hurts” “It just kind of burns,” says another. “You’re sore for a few days.” “I heard the third time you don’t even feel it.” ~ Prologue I will admit that I was a little nervous to continue reading The Fever due to the straight off sexual […]

Stephen King’s Mr. Mercedes is too big. It is in hardcover, there are so many pages and is not very conducive while reading in bed. My eyes start to get heavy as does the book in hand, having me waking up minutes later with Bill Hodges in my face. Perhaps this is my fault, I […]
When my grandmother was a child she had a doll. She was playing with this doll while work was being done on her home. She set her toy down but when she returned it had been walled in, never to be seen again. This what first came to mind upon the discovery of Nell’s Diary. […]
Speed Date With Darcy: First Date: Sir Camden is a combination of Wickham and Darcy. He has the apparent bad boy persona but the mysteriousness of Darcy. We are shown a snippet of his good nature which actually reminded me of Colonel Brandon. So far, I have a bag of Austenesque characters. Second Date: Characters […]
House of Glass is a combination of the TV shows Crisis and Hostage both are suspenseful and deal with being held captive, along with the terror it includes. House of Glass is a lot like that. Ted Glass was very reminiscent of Dermot Mulroney’s character, he just seemed too calm and something didn’t feel quite […]
