The Calling (Darkness Rising)
The Calling (Darkness Rising)

Review:The Gathering is a fun little paranormal novel, set on a tiny island in Canada. The setting, in fact, was one of my favorite parts of the story. It was so richly drawn, I found myself wishing I could visit. We also get a little bit of Native American lore, an interesting topic that I hope is explored more in the sequel. I wish the same attention had been paid to Maya, a very bland character, despite her...unusual abilities. Rafe and Daniel, as the potential love interest and best friend, re... Read more

Defender (The Sanctuary Series Book 1)
Defender (The Sanctuary Series Book 1)

Review:Reading Defender was like falling in love with RA Salvatore's Drizzt Do'Urden novels all over again. Crane tells a captivating story, full of action, character growth, and ridiculous jokes. Fantasy novels have a tendency to focus too heavily on certain elements of a story (like a character's religious journey, how they feel about their family, an inner monologue, love interests, or just plain combat mechanics) but Defender is well-balanced and plot development is natural. I hate it when you can ... Read more

and Pawns of the Pacific - The War Planners

Review:I was a bit “uninterested” when I started reading book one. I almost put it away but I thought I would give it a go. I am glad I did! I could not put it down. I have read the whole series. I was hoping and still am hoping that Mr. Watts continues the planner series to find the evil woman (sorry if I gave away som of the book). I also have read all his books and cannot wait for another. I give thumbs up on the Max Fend series as well. Read more

Fire and Ice Trilogy Book 3) - Fused in Fire (DDVN World

Review:Loved how everything was tied up In this story. Regan and Darius are perfect together. I admit it threw me for a loop about the "wetness" and all that entails, I hope the understanding comes in the future. Thanks for a great trilogy. Read more

(Discworld Novel 19) (Discworld series) - Feet Of Clay
(Discworld Novel 19) (Discworld series) - Feet Of Clay

Review:Feet Of Clay is a terrific book. It has always been a favourite of mine and reading it again (for the third or fourth time, I think) it has lost none of its brilliance. It's worth saying that if you're new to Pratchett, don't be put off by the trolls, dwarves and so on. It's just an incredibly effective device for mirroring human society. (And Detritus the troll is a wholly wonderful character, too.)

Here, Vimes and the Watch are investigating apparent attempts to poison the Patrician... Read more

Unseen Academicals
Unseen Academicals

Review:While it was a very enjoyable book, I think it was not one of the best Discworld novels. The characters were very well written and interesting, and I'd love to read about Mister Nutt's further adventures. If you like sports, football in particular, you'll find this book highly entertaining. Read more
