There is a long wait in between books for each of Ron Glick’s series, but each time so far, the wait has been worth it. Three is no exception. The aptly named third book in the Godslayer Cycle series picks right up where Two left off, with some background information to refresh the reader’s memory. Nathaniel Goodsmith is back home in Oaken Wood, along with the dwarf Bracken … [Read more...] about Ebook Review: Three (Book 3 of The Godslayer Cycle)

Ebook Review: Chaos Company
Chaos Company by Christopher Slayton is one of the most action-packed books I have ever read.

Ebook Review: Creeping Beath
I’m so happy that Matt Pike decided to write this series. In the fourth book of the series, Zombie RiZing: Creeping Beath, the story picks up right where it left off. 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. The poor kids, plus Ms. … [Read more...] about Ebook Review: Creeping Beath

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: Midmen
Steve Ochs is a stand up comic/TV writer/producer, and his background and personality really shine through in his book, Midmen: The Modern Man’s Guide to Surviving Midlife Crisis. Even Steve’s email to me asking for a review was hilarious. As a woman in her 20s, I am definitely not in Steve’s target audience, but the topics he covers in Midmen can be applied to pretty much … [Read more...] about Ebook Review: Midmen
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: Free Money
Barry Vass’s Free Money is, for the most part, a fast-paced, action-packed thriller, adventure type story. The story revolves around Jimmy Spencer, a floorman at a casino in Las Vegas, which means he watches over the gaming tables in the casino and makes sure that no one is cheating. Spencer visits a friend and learns about a very lucrative secret, one that people are … [Read more...] about Ebook Review: Free Money

This time, Beath and her group of friends, Abby, Zhang, Sonny, and Vihaan, along with their science teacher Ms. Simmons a.k.a Ms. Magic (a nickname that is still being deliberated) go up against a giant and mean-spirited teenagers as well as the usual zombies … [Read more...] about Ebook Review: A Fate Worse Than Beath
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
