Review:This is one of the better Alex Verus installments. The story is fairly linear and at most times, a page turner. The ending had a few surprises and unexpected twist. Well worth the money and if you are a fan of the series you'll probably love this latest episode.

I had two negatives. One was the ending felt like a loss. Two, I find it hard to believe that two main characters can spend months together, most often isolated, and not move their relationship forward (or backwards) in anywa... Read more

Review:Bound picks up where Burned left off. Alex and Anne are now working for Drakh, which is not what they really wanted, but with the way Burned left off, there weren't many options to work with.

Thi situation makes everything much for difficult for both them. The Light Mages don't trust them, the Dark Mages don't trust them, even the Order doesn't trust them. So what exactly can they do?

I do have sympathy for Anne and Alex since their hands are tied for pretty much the entire&nb... Read more

Review:Since Jim Butcher's Dresden Files seems to be finally winding down, I have been searching for a suitable replacement for a wizard in the urban fantasy genre, and I have definitely found him in Alex Verus.
Think Harry Dresden transplanted to London. Benedict Jacka even gave a respectable shout-out to Harry in his first book, Fated, when he said in Chapter one, "I even heard of a wizard in Chicago who advertises in the phone book, but I think that's just an urban legend."
And so, the "wan... Read more

Review:While good in theory, this book is flawed in that it inroduces too many elements too quickly. Similar to some of the Bond movies, this book takes random ideas and strings them together into a huge conspiracy that jumps around on cool things while missing out on plot and key character development.

For example, in the car chase scene, there are several different types of monsters that attack Shaman, and he has a counter for all of them. It seems that Green has a lot of good ideas and simply... Read more

Review:This book is ok. If you enjoyed the previous books then you will probably enjoy this one. Why do I not rank it higher then three stars? One... the story went too quickly. It also lacked enough "quiet times" of social interaction and character building. These are needed as the story of Verus is about him growing as a human being as much as his fight against dark mages and injustice and simply surviving. This book had a bit of growth and personal revelation but it was rushed and the payoff i... Read more

Review:Although fictional characters are used in this account of the negotiations between Hitler and Chamberlain, this novel has an authentic and sinister feel . Harris’s wonderful prose, his attention to detail and believable descriptions make the reader feel they are witnessing a moment in history. Not his best, but up there. Read more

Review:Obsidio is the endings of all MFing endings. Wow.

As a reader, I always look for satisfaction in an ending of a book, and definitely for an ending of a series. Endings don't always have to be tied up in a nice and perfectly tied bow, but it would be nice to feel good about what I just read.

But wow. Jay and Amie have created this beautiful masterpiece, that isn't only visually appealing, but engages in such a stimulating way.

Without saying too much to possibly give spoilers... Read more

I received this book for free from KidLitExchange in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own.

Justyce McAllister is top of his class and set for the Ivy League—but none of that matters to the police officer who just put him in handcuffs. And despite leaving his rough nei... Read more

Review:A great debut novel. I may not have identified closely with the culture or many of the characters, but it was a well crafted tale. I look forward to more from this author and more about Isaiah.
Well done. Read more

Review:The book amazing. It was obviously well outlined so that bombshell after bombshell were continually surprises and unforcastable .o
It was a difficult book to review without being a spoiler. However, I can say it was an excellent tale that delved into the difficulty of forgiveness, self analysis, and truly confessing bad behaviors to others. None of the characters were really likeable nor truly despicable. Real people with real problems. I had some problems with the character shifts in dome o... Read more
