Dangerous Games (Tempting SEALs)
Dangerous Games (Tempting SEALs)

Review:Don't get me wrong. I LOVE Lora Leigh. I have her whole back catalog from Elloras Cave and her books from Samhain Publishing. She can write a sex scene like nobody's business. But the problem I'm having with this book is all of these guys calling themselves Doms and exhibiting very little if any Dom-like behavior. What kind of Dom is Clint if Morganna's leading him by the balls during the entire book. He definitely didn't control her. And the sex between the two? It was hot but there was... Read more

The Last Time I Lied: A Novel
The Last Time I Lied: A Novel

Review:A young artist returns to a summer camp, in position as an art teacher, where fifteen years prior she was traumatized when her cabin mates went missing mysteriously, never to be seen again. In a nutshell, that's the story - mostly a standard mystery, though perhaps a touch in the thriller genre. The story follows Emma as she conquers her fears of returning to camp and her determination to discover what happened to her friends that fateful summer long ago. However, stirring up long-buried memorie... Read more

Final Girls: A Novel
Final Girls: A Novel

Review:Final Girls was a good page turning thriller that had me questioning all of the characters, including our heroine, Quincy. However, I went into this book with really high expectations, having been praised by Stephen King as "the first great thriller of 2017", and was a little disappointed in the end.

Things I loved: The plot. I loved that Quincy couldn't remember what happened to her the night her friends were all slaughtered. I loved the very idea of The Final Girls. I loved the depth of... Read more

The 4-time Gold Medal Mystery from the Creator of the Emmy® Winning Neverwinter Nights™
The 4-time Gold Medal Mystery from the Creator of the Emmy® Winning Neverwinter Nights™

Review:I’m not a regular mystery reader, but I found this one enjoyable. Not great, but fun and different, a different take on the idea of a psychological thriller. It’s not a thriller, but the main suspect has some psychological issues. Read more

An American Tragedy
An American Tragedy

Review:“…as in the case of his politics and his religion, he had borrowed all his notions of what was right and wrong from those about him. A single, serious, intelligent or rightly informing book had never been read by any member of this family—not one. But they were nevertheless excellent, as conventions, morals and religions go—honest, upright, God-fearing and respectable.” (p. 251)

Theodore Dreiser’s behemoth of a novel, An American Tragedy is a mostly annoying read, with only about the last... Read more

Invisible Man (Modern Library 100 Best Novels)
Invisible Man (Modern Library 100 Best Novels)

Review:This book is 19th on the Modern Library's best 100 novels of the 1900s. As a classic, much has been made of its importance as a study of racial identity in the 1930s. The narrator is a young black man. He is expelled from a southern university in the beginning of the novel when he is assigned the task of chauffeuring a visiting benefactor, a white man, to a school function. The benefactor asks to go for a drive, and the narrator gives him a tour of the rural south that is a little too scenic, on... Read more

An Old-Fashioned Girl
An Old-Fashioned Girl

Review:Louisa May Alcott is best known for her classic coming-of-age novel "Little Women." But she tackles an entirely different part of growing up in "An Old Fashioned Girl," the story of a country mouse living with a wealthy urban family in late 19th-century America.
Polly Milton travels to stay with her aunt and uncle in the city, for the first time, but she immediately sticks out because of her outdated clothing and lack of fussiness. Her cousin Fan Shaw (also about fourteen) is already dressed ... Read more

Book Four of The Demon Cycle (The Demon Cycle Series 4)
Book Four of The Demon Cycle (The Demon Cycle Series 4)

Review:The "story" seems less a continuation of the previous books than it is an excuse to use every other chapter to get on a political soapbox about women's rights and how women are better than men in this world. Oh and let's not forget how every group setting either has a openly gay person or someone eyeing the "bugger boys". I swear the author wants to turn this into The Sholan Alliance series for homosexuals
