Review:The world of October Day may be fictional, but October and her friends live and breath, and so are capable of making us think and making us feel.

October has always been a crusader for justice and protector of children. But as this series evolves she has moved from disenfranchised and broken-hearted to empowered.

A meeting of the Faye is called to discuss the cure for elf shot, which causes pure blood Faye to sleep for 100 years. In those with some human blood it brings death. A cu... Read more

Review:Kazuo Ishiguro's 1986 novel, An Artist Of The Floating World, which won that year's Whitbread Prize, may be a great novel, but it just misses out on that elite company. Of course, the fact one can make arguments pro and con means the book is worlds above the tripe one would read were the author's surname Oates, Boyle, or Eggers. The reason for the miss, in my mind, is that the novel never fully sores- it never takes that Keatsian leap into the subconscious, to wrench the reader into an experienc... Read more

Review:There’s something steady, steadying about the old country. Did you know that the first western experiment with sound money came when Henry I chopped off the hands of coin makers who were diluting silver with other metals while carrying out their craft (somebody tell the FED!)? Did you know that the first western ideas of property and justice were established pre-Magna Carta with the ‘reeve’ and ‘jury’ system of ancient Saxon England? Recent studies have shown that almost 50% of Britons live with... Read more

Review:“When the ships come... wear the necklace”.
The best post-invasion the world had ever seen. The secret is in the pendant... A very refreshing and original view of Sci fy and post apocalyptic plot, with tons of action and fast paced. Determination, strength, fear, sense of hopelessness and despair is very well combined in its twists and turns. I’m going the the second round, definitely! Read more

Review:This is part of a series. As with most series it leaves you expecting more resolution, maybe wanting to read more.. Not worth my time to pursue more of the series even though it was inventive and entertaining. Read more

Review:Not often you can find a good story these days that isn't full of sex and violence. The story line is well crafted and compelling and most of all simple. Doesn't go of on a dozen different tangents trying to beef up a poor plot. Read more

Review:I've read a number of books regarding the end of times with them most being about EMP's being the reason. But this book is about an another all to close reason that could very well happen also. I only gave it four stars because I just did not understand how a Dad could act the way Chris did to his son. Other then that I was taken in by this book. I can not say I enjoyed reading it because it is a topic that is not joyful but worth reading anyway. Read more

Review:When you open this book, be prepared for something like pushing your car to the limits on a winding road! Fast-paced twists and turns all the way to the last page! I can feel Gregg's familiarity with real people in real situations in his well developed, interesting characters; it's easy to keep track of them and the parts they play. And the true-crime, non-fiction, real-life, no-ending ending is exactly what I'd expect and what we'll probably find to be "classic Gregg Olsen" style. "Write on... Read more

Review:Sometimes I think it's hard to find a book with a good balance of suspense and romance, but for me this one did. It grabbed me from the beginning and held my interest all the way to the end. First time reader of this author, won't be my last. Read more

Review:I was pleasantly surprised how many times I laughed out loud during the first half of this novel! There is some fine black comedy. At first. During the second half of the novel things are not so funny, in fact quite bleak. What seemed coldly humourous in Undine Spragg at first, slowly and steadily reveals the disturbed mind of the narcissistic sociopath, a full blown clinical case. Undine is downright frightening, and makes for a chilly, yet strangely delicious read. Once again, Warton's ... Read more
