Review:Jim Butcher once again brings Harry Dresden through another wild ride. Small Favor reads very well and is fun. Not my personal favorite of the the Dresden files though, I prefer when Harry's dog (mouse) is portrayed more prominently. In all continue reading the Dresden Files, great series. Read more

Review:Never read an Agatha Christie novel but was inspired to purchase one from watching a Doctor Who episode. I purchased the 1960s hardcover edition and it looks like it got here from a time machine itself. The cover, inside binding, and pages look brand new. Very happy Read more

Review:I enjoyed this novel on two levels; first - Nichelle is realistic, feisty and loves her bargain designer shoes, and second, I live in Richmond and enjoyed guessing all of the locations around town. Definitely looking forward to future installments in this series. Read more

Review:WOW! It is very rare for me to give an author's first novel a five-star rating But Jason Kasper's JAIS (David Rivers Book 1) definitely deserves the highest rating. The novel moves very fast, and it is very hard to put down. I read in two days. The author's prior personal experience in both combat and BASE jumper gives the details of fighting and jumping an incredible realistic grit. Like many of the great authors of this genre, the main character is tragically flawed, but the read really... Read more

Review:Good start for a series, looking forward to the rest of the story. Second series of three stories is even better than the first set. Both series have a great ending and final resolution. Getting ready to read more of this author. Read more

Review:Happened to find this series by chance and what a great discovery for me. Lots of snarky humor, great slow character development, and backstory developing. Lots of suspects and attention to detail. I like all the characters and excellent ending. Read more

Review:Boring and trite, this book was so full of cliches I could have used it as a teaching moment on what not to do when writing a novel. The females? Beautiful and spirited .... The males? Handsome, charming, kind .... It's hard to believe it took three women to write this. Read more

Review:I just finished reading "Blaze" by Stephen King (AKA Richard Bachman), my favorite author of all time, the Master of Macabre and all other genres he chooses to tackle. Needless to say, I loved this book.

Blaze is a guy screwed from birth. After his father throws him repeatedly down a flight of stairs, young Blaze ends up in a state ran boy's home. He grows into his hulking physique, his forehead permanently dented from the stairs incident, and loses everyone he loves before reaching ad... Read more

Review:OVERALL REVIEW:

Excellent anthology, all of the stories - many of them admirably varied in their sense of horrors - have something to recommend them. This is one of my all-time favorite story anthologies.

STANDOUT STORIES:

1.) "Jerusalem's Lot": An evil, haunted town repeatedly draws members of a cursed family into its Lovecraftian clutches over centuries. This is a loosely linked prequel to the novel 'Salem's Lot.

2.) "Graveyard Shift": A Fourth of July cleaning... Read more

Review:While a good story it was a bit of a let down from the previous novel.. I don't know if the author intended to resurrect Kate or to let her die. I am glad she chose to let her story continue. I hope the next story gets Kate back to the Park and gives us more Alaska and less generalizations.. Read more
