Beath and the gang are driving through the city, trying to steer clear of grunts (zombies), giants, and other creatures as they make their way to the shopping mall for supplies.

Ebook Review: Life and Beath
Matt Pike is on a roll. He’s churning out books on a regular basis, and so far they’ve all been so good whenever I pick one up I can’t stop reading until I finish. Life and Beath gives some of the back story of Zhang, or Z-Hang, a plucky girl who has the power to move objects, and grunts (a.k.a zombies) from far away, using hand gestures. Without giving too much away, poor … [Read more...] about Ebook Review: Life and Beath
Ebook Review: The Vanishing
I read David J. Delaney’s The Vanishing, and I had nightmares. But that is a good thing. I could not put this fast-paced crime thriller down. It’s one of those books where you don’t even realize you’re turning the page (or swiping your phone), and before you know it, it’s over. And though the ending was satisfying, I really wished it would just keep going. In this story, … [Read more...] about Ebook Review: The Vanishing

Ebook Review: The Book of I
The Book of I by Jorge Armenteros is a beautiful, lyrical, very stream-of-consciousness type of novel. Parts of the story even read like short poems. The narrative follows Teaston, a tortured painter who feels a strong urge to jump from a cliff. Later on it is revealed that Teaston had an unhappy childhood and eventually he broke and was forced to spend time in a mental … [Read more...] about Ebook Review: The Book of I
Ebook Review: The Fifth Crusade
The Fifth Crusade by Mark Butler is an enthralling read. I’m not normally a fan of medieval Europe, but Butler has managed to both bring to life some wonderful, conflicting characters while being informative about the Fifth Crusade. The prose is pretty yet just the right amount of graphic, especially when it comes to the brutal battles the crusaders fought. There’s a lot of … [Read more...] about Ebook Review: The Fifth Crusade
Ebook Review: The Wonderful Alice of Oz
The Wonderful Alice of Oz is a fantastic read, with quirky, unpredictable characters and a lot of mystery. Glick continues to masterfully weave two classic tales into one epic, wonderfully creative story. The Wonderful Alice of Oz is the third book in Ron Glick’s imaginative series that combines Oz and Wonderland. In this book, the focus is more on Wonderland and the … [Read more...] about Ebook Review: The Wonderful Alice of Oz

Ebook Review: Kings of the World
Kings of the World is Matt Pike’s first novel, though it’s the second book I have read of his (see my review of Apocalypse: Diary of a Sruvivor, where I decided I must read every book he ever writes). Kings of the World is about four teenage boys—Cooper, The Ginge, Knuckles, and Pete—who are chosen to represent Earth on the Galactic Council, a committee comprising of members … [Read more...] about Ebook Review: Kings of the World

Michaels deftly portrays a couple made for each other, though each has to endure hardships and heartbreak before they find each other. The main characters are August Wolff, a self-made man not afraid to do hard labor to get what he wants, and Amelia Ruth, a woman who must sacrifice everything to give … [Read more...] about Ebook Review: The Art of Love
Ebook Review: Imago
Imago is a gripping, complex thriller. Although I'm not particularly religious and tend not to gravitate towards fiction that revolves around religion, Imago was fast-paced, and had a great underlying message. The story involves two groups of people: the rationalists and the religionists. Both sides have extremists, and both sides also have moderates who have interesting … [Read more...] about Ebook Review: Imago
