Review: Cress

Finally, I read Cress, and it was everything I had hoped it would be!  Not to cheap out in review format as it was one hell of a ride, but my internet service is a little slow thus I shall lighten my cursing at an inanimate object and top thirteen it instead. I loved the return of […]

Book Review: Mr. Mercedes

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 […]

Must. Read. After Hannah is released from her thirty […]

Dead Until Dark by Charlaine Harris

Dead Until Dark by Charlaine Harris

Review In Charlaine Harris’ first Sookie Stackhouse novel I couldn’t help but notice the similarities between Twilight and Dead Until Dark.  In Dead Until Dark, Sookie  has a “disability” she can read people’s minds making her somewhat of an oddity. This gift excludes the “undead” better known as vampires. This also happens  to include her […]
