The characters are all incredibly imagined, and they will all surprise you. Read more

And I Darken

Well, having just finished my research, I stumbled upon this book by accident and therefore found it fascinating to read a fiction version of what I had already researched.

Red Badge of Courage (Puffin Classics)

Review:Classic civil war battle novel. The language is fairly poetic and written after the civil war, but I thought it brought the war to life. It tells a story about a man's personal journey as a soldier in the civil war. It's his fears, his passions, his courage, selfishness, and all from one man's viewpoint. Read more

The Strange Case of the Alchemist's Daughter (The Extraordinary Adventures of the Athena Club Book 1)

Review:This book - or fragment of a book - is well written and interesting but doesn't have an ending; only a beginning. Unfortunately you will need to purchase the rest of the series to find out what happens. I find that currently I am unwilling. Read more

Grace) (Under Mr. Nolan's Bed) - Boxed Set (Temptation

Review:Selena Kitt is a very good writer and this trilogy is no exception. What two girls find under Mr. Nolan's Bed leads to their sexual awakening and that, in turn, leads to the unraveling of a tangled web of deception that includes their parents, a priest and a whole area of he Catholic Church. The action center is near Detroit, allowing the use of some real life characters such as Mayor Cobo and others along with an excellent depiction of Hudson's store in its early days. Read more

All the Stars in the Heavens: A Novel
All the Stars in the Heavens: A Novel

Review:A good period read. I loved the descriptions of old Hollywood and actors. The ups and downs of being famous seemed to be the real way life is. A crooked road, not a super highway. Laughter and tears in equal parts. Read more
