The Paper Magician

the paper magician

This is the first short story in a series of shorts. Despite being short, it actually took me a lot longer than usual to read. The pacing of the story was all over the place and I was having a hard time staying focused on it. It’s not that I didn’t like the story, it […]

Alone (A Bone Secrets Novel) by Kendra Elliot

Alone (A Bone Secrets Novel)

Last night I finished reading Alone (A Bone Secrets Novel) by Kendra Elliot. This was a pretty smooth read and I enjoyed the story. It’s a combination of mystery, thriller, sort of drizzled with romance. There is one sex scene in the book, but it’s pretty mild. In other words, the book is 98% story, […]

The Giver Quartet by Lois Lowry (The Giver, Gathering Blue, Messenger, Son)

When I first picked up The Giver to read I didn’t realize there was an entire series of four books. The way The Giver is talked about I always assumed it was a standalone story. If you haven’t read this book or series yet, I want to warn you in advance that it’s not really […]

Nearly Departed in Deadwood by Ann Charles [Book Review]

I needed something lighthearted and entertaining, but I wanted a little mystery too. I had read some reviews and seen a few people mention Nearly Departed in Deadwood on Facebook, plus the Kindle version of this book was reasonably priced, so I gave it a shot. Personally I could have done without some of the […]
