The Monk (Oxford World's Classics)
The Monk (Oxford World's Classics)

Review:The narrator 'Anais 9000', as you say, is no more than a machine. It jumps over and mispronounces some words and has a completely horrible voice. Listening to this disc for 5 minutes gives one a headache, let alone 13 hours. You should be ashamed to market such a phoney product. I am horrified. I intend to apply for a partial refund, as I had to take the product out of its packaging to hear just how unsatisfactory the narration was. Read more

Embers
Embers

Review:This book, apparently an Eastern European classic, did not resonate with me at all, but for a different kind of reader it will be just right.

Embers is a very short book about two old men who meet for the first time in decades, after some mysterious event disrupted their friendship. The story is told from the point-of-view of Henrik, who receives his long-lost friend, Konrad, after the latter returns from over 40 years abroad. The early part of the book covers the preparations for their d... Read more

Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist
Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist

Review:I really loved this book. It was everything I was expecting.

The writing was easy and flowy and sucked me right in. I loved that the chapters alternated between Norah (written by Rachel Cohn) and Nick's (written by David Levithan) point of view. Of course it made perfect sense for the setting to be in New York. I've never been to New York but I imagine it to be huge and scary, but at the same time filled with endless possibilities of adventure.

The novel starts off with us meeting ... Read more

A Kurtherian Gambit Series (The Ascension Myth Book 4)

Review:Molly's continuing saga. More team building which was interesting. Vengeance with justice that was done well. But there at the end there are some twists which leave me suspect. Oz's transformation is welcomed; Molly's is not. Read more

A Kurtherian Gambit Series (The Ascension Myth Book 2)

Review:Many months ago the impossible happened...I OD'ed on all things Anderle to the point I had to stop reading the series.
Words can not appropriately describe how deep I was into the Kurtherian universe. Having to put it aside did have an up side, though...
Upon my return to the universe there are now "Twelve" (at this time) new books available in this new spin off series...and I can now OD all over again like a Netflix holiday weekend with Chocolate Everything Ice Cream!
The 1st book in t... Read more

The Power of One: A Novel

Review:This is one of those journeys that you should definitely take. You will sympathize with every character that makes an appearance in this novel and enjoy this tale. It is not light reading,

Beware, if you are reading this for a school assignment, the movie is not the same story! Read more

A Dark Reverse Harem Romance (Dark Fantasy Book 1)

Review:I have read books written separately by each of these authors, but this is the first I've read with them writing as a duo. Wow! They make a great team and create one heck of a story! This take on Snow White is definitely a grown up adult version. Even then, it won't be for every adult. However, if you like dark romance that pushes the boundaries make sure to check this one out. I can't wait for book two!

A Reverse Harem Urban Fantasy (Their Dark Valkyrie Book 1)

Review:This is a great book that I devoured very quickly. Now I just have to wait for the next one to find out what happens to Ari and her gods.

Ari is doing her best in a dog eat dog world. Though she often thought she might come to a bad end she did not expect it to be in the form of a crazy guy going the wrong way on a one-way street. Jeepicide. She wakes up to the sight of five people looking at her naked body. What the?? The four guys were good-looking and all, but jes. When she catches a g... Read more
