The Thief (The Queen's Thief, Book 1)
The Thief (The Queen's Thief, Book 1)

Review:I have mixed feelings about this book. I enjoyed it, but honestly, I failed to see the brilliance everybody is raving about.

The reviewers like to point to a huge twist at the end of the story as the biggest reason for enjoying this book. But if you know in advance that you should expect something, it is very easy to pick up clues on the way and figure out the big secret fairly quickly. I think this anticipation of the big reveal threw me off a bit and I ended up a little underwhelmed whe... Read more

The Lies of Spies: (Kyle Achilles, Book 2)
The Lies of Spies: (Kyle Achilles, Book 2)

Review:Anyone who has read any of Tim's books knows that he is brilliant. Not only are his stories unique, but he has a command of the English language like few other authors. Reading is a passion of mine, as well as my business, but I always learn a new word or two from Tim. In this book, I discovered the word "ensorcelled." I had never seen it so immediately learned the definition and added it to my vocabulary.

I am looking forward to more creations from Tim and hope he never stops writing... Read more

Review:the cardboard characters in this book bear as much resemblace to real people as wax dolls do. the writing is terrible, and the killer can' t remember the killings despite ruminating on them--really? a dumb book. Read more

Detective Grant Abduction Mysteries - Snatched Super Boxset
Detective Grant Abduction Mysteries - Snatched Super Boxset

Review:I thoroughly enjoyed reading this box set by Mr. Hunt - Snatched. The transitioning between the different stories was smooth and done in an unusual way kinda backwards. The characters are interesting and seem to get along exceptionally well though they are completely different individuals. I look forward to reading additional stories by this author. Read more

Midnight Tales and Dangerous Magic - The Language of Thorns
Midnight Tales and Dangerous Magic - The Language of Thorns

Review:The Good: Not a word can be said about this book before I mention how glorious the illustrations are. These pieces of art don’t simply illustrate, but they help tell the story, building in the margins with progressive and chilling detail as each story unfolds. I know that I’ll regularly be finding new details in the art as I reread in the future. But with that said, I can now rave about how wonderful the stories were as well! I have been excited about this project since it was announced, since o... Read more

Pestilence (The Four Horsemen Book 1)
Pestilence (The Four Horsemen Book 1)

Review:I enjoyed the read! :D Characters not over complex and believable enough. Writing flows well and the plot but doesn't overwhelm with minute details or descriptions. It's a light read with enough emotion to compel one to keep on reading. Ending could have several outcomes-- and author chose the easy way for it to end. Again, it's a light, entertaining read! Will go on to read the second in this sequel. Read more

A Reaper at the Gates (An Ember in the Ashes)
A Reaper at the Gates (An Ember in the Ashes)

Review:I’m really sad about writing this review because An Ember in the Ashes is one of my favorite books of all time. I HOUND everyone I know until they read it. Elias and Laia from Ember are two of my favorite characters in all of fiction. I’ve reread Ember and A Torch Against the Night *so* many times in eager anticipation of Reaper at the Gates releasing.

Reading friends, I DNFed Reaper at the Gates.

My favorite characters. My favorite series. My most anticipated book of 2018.
