Review:I was totally enraptured by this story from the start....then I reached the end. It fell flat! Thus, 3 stars. Great story, fast paced. The two main female adult characters were well written. Both deeply flawed and swimming in self loathing, easy to dislike them and yet waiting for them to each find salvation. I was disappointed for it really never came. Quite a disappointing ending considering the rest of the book was quite good. Then again, I didn’t like any of the characters and it was hard t... Read more

Review:An engrossing book of secrets, lies, forgiveness, and family that will definitely keep readers enthralled until the very end. From the opening lines, I was captivated by this story and its complex but fascinating characters. Full of mystery that had me guessing until the surprise little twist at the end. A very well-written book that I thoroughly enjoyed and recommend. This is the first book by Nicole Baart that I have read and it has left me wanting to read more by her.

I received an adv... Read more

Review:Fun read through the times of Holmes and Watson and solid story. Only 4 stars because nostalgic for the master's touch in writing, just a bit less, but still impressive. By far the best modern day Doyle-based book I have read. Read more

Review:Love the Eve Dallas series. These stories continue with great characters, evolving relationships and great story lines. The advances in technology are fascinating, the concepts intriguing. I can't wait for the next book in the series. Read more

Review:This book is spectacular, but advertised as containing audio version as well. The end of the book has a chapter called "Link to free audio recording of Seneca's Letters." The chapter just says "The Letters of Seneca," with no link. The text is not live either, so it's not like you touch it and it goes to the link in question. Read more

Review:What a shame that Terry Pratchett is not still alive1 Not only would he be writing more books to delight us all, but we would love to read what he would think of a world where “Post-Truth” is a real term. Terry Pratchett writes nonsensical satire that ends up making perfect sense. Terry Pratchett is the master of a fantasy sub-genre that probably belongs to him alone. Most of them are clever, witty, and rapid-fire novels. Almost all of the Discworld novels fall into different categories: Tiffany... Read more

Review:The conclusion to Tad William's _Otherland_ saga, _Sea of Silver Light_, is a massive, sprawling, complex, sometimes confusing, but ultimately satisfying journey. The plot turn that closed Volume 3, _Mountain of Black Glass_, has left Our Heroes divided once again, and with some peculiar choices in travelling companions.
Though their separations, combinations, and ultimate reunion do drag on, there is little of the aimless feel that plagued the previous two books, especially the second, _Riv... Read more

Review:If Michael Carpenter (Dresden Files) and Sandman Slim were brothers, then Bobby Dollar would be their youngest sass-mouthed brother. He is not quite good, not quite bad, and always very interesting. Leave it to Tad Williams to fill in a blank in Urban Fantasy that I didn't realize was missing until now. I look forward to the further adventures of the D-Man. Read more

Review:At last Williams returns to fantasy!

If you like your fantasy light & fluffy then stick to Terry Pratchett. If you like your fantasy tolkienish where the elves are all good guys with merit badges in archery and the bad guys can be spotted a mile away by their big moustaches and their evil grins, then this book is not for you.

No offense to Tolkien but we have all grown a bit since LOR and while his fantasy could be considered `pure', authors like Tad Williams, Robert Jordan &a... Read more
