by Frank Westworth This is a short story, yet the author manages to bring so much into the few pages here that it still somehow feels like a much longer novel. This is a fast paced story where things keep happening and I didn’t find myself getting bored a single moment. The main character is very interesting and I think that the author has manages to use every page of this short story to develop his character very well. There are just enough twists and turns in the plot to keep it interesting. The characters faces quite a few obstacles on the way and things doesn’t always turnout the way they planned, which also makes this even more interesting. The author writes very well and this thriller is packed with action and it hooks you from the first few pages, just the way I like it. I feel like this ended up being a far too short review, but with a short story like this, I don’t feel like I can say much more without giving away the story. So please, read the story for yourself, I’m sure you won’t regret it. I can recommend any fan of action filled…

by Stjepan Šejić Death Vigil volume 1 was a nicely put together graphic novel with an intriguing plot and interesting characters. It was fast paced and there was always something happening, which also made it hard to stop reading. It’s dark and humorous and the characters are well developed. I read this as an e-comic, and at time I found some of the dialogue to be a bit hard to read, but I have a feeling it might be because of the resolution of the e-copy. It may be a lot better in the hardcopy. I can say that I did feel like the ending was a bit rushed and I would have loved for the author to spend a few more pages there to really wrap up this great story, but overall I truly enjoyed it. It’s well worth checking out. You can pre-order it at Amazon

by Tom Hoefner The Unlikely Adventures of Race & Cookie McCloud: Curses and Tacos is the second book in a series and I’ve also done a review on the first if you want to check that one out too. After really enjoying the first book in this series, I hoped this one would be just as fun as the first, and I was not disappointed at all. This second novel picks up right where the first one left us with a huge cliffhanger and now we’re tossed right into the action where the two main characters has to get along with two hilarious vampires in order to take down a werewolf. The characters, Race and Cookie, keep developing and you start to get the feeling that they are starting to enjoy working together, despite the fact that they are immensely different. I truly enjoy reading about these two and listen to all of their harmless banter as the story goes on. Their somewhat dysfunctional relationship is entertaining and makes this story humorous despite the fact that it’s dealing with monsters and what could be rather dark topics if written for YA or adults. Just as the first book in the…

by Jimmie Robinson The Empty volume 1 was a really interesting graphic novel with beautiful art and a unique and very intriguing world with many strange creatures. The characters felt well developed and despite this being a rather short novel, I got a sense of who the main characters were and what their motivation was. The plot was in a sense to save the world, but it was done in a very unique way and the way the story developed made me unable to stop reading. I was hooked from the first page and couldn’t stop until I had finished it. The art was also great and I think it really showed the world and the creatures in a great way. I want to learn more about this place and these people and I hope there will be more volumes in this series where we get to see more. I can definitely recommend this too everyone who is interested in graphic novels because I truly enjoyed reading this.

by Jess Smart Smiley When I picked this up I was in the mood for something fast and easy that didn’t require much thought and concentration. And this graphic novel really delivered. It was fun light read filled with humor and with a fun plot. It’s the second novel in a series and I think it’s recommended to read the first one before taking on this, even if it’s definitely not a must. This novel stands well on its own too. Being a very quick and fast novel with little dialog, the art does most of the talking and even if it’s a very simple art it still does the job very well. I can say that I would have wished for the young vampire Harold to have played a little more of a major role in the climax of the plot, he sort of got lost a bit in the end. He started out as a scared boy haunted by nightmares, and I wanted him to do something to really face those fears, but unfortunately I don’t think he did enough considering he was sort of the main character. Still, it didn’t really matter that much when this was…

by Quentin Tarantino, Matt Wagner I got this graphic novel through NetGalley as an e-comic book to read and review. This story picks up years after the end of Django Unchained, and I’m glad to see that Django as a character is as special as I thought he was in Django Unchained. I also think the character development was done very nicely and this was indeed a good graphic novel. I did find the plot to borderline on confusing, but what else could I have anticipated from someone like Tarantino? At times it was a lot of dialogue, which for me made it a bit slow, but that it probably just a personal preference. I like it more when the art does most of the talking in a way. Still, the fonts are placed nicely throughout and even if they were a tad bit hard to read on the computer, I’m sure it would look much better in a physical copy of the novel. I can highly recommend this to anyone who’s a fan of Tarantino and/or Western comics. You can pre-order it at Amazon

by Anna Lunde Roulette Romance – Beginner’s Luck is the first of a three part series, this also means that this first part is not a complete story. Instead, it is a build up for what is to come. The writing is good and the book is easy to read and the characters are well developed. The main character, Matilda, is somewhat of a tomboy, and her personality makes for a very interesting read. When it comes to the female lead in romance novels, Matilda feels different in a good way, and it makes for an interesting read and I want to know where this story takes her. The story had a nice pace and I never felt bored or tempted to put the book down. There was always something happening that made it interesting and I’m drawn into the plot. This story is told through multiple first-person POVs, and first I thought I might find this distracting, but it ended up being the opposite. It was so much fun to see the events from the other character’s perspective too, and it also gave me a better understanding of who Matilda is. I also think that the author managed to…

by Jonathan Ballagh This was a very interesting novel placed partly in a unique and intriguing alternate reality. I enjoyed reading about this other dimension where earth was full of machines and artificial intelligence and I think the author did an amazing job describing all of the technical aspects very nicely. There were a lot of new words and things that I had never encountered before, but I never felt confused about any of it because it was introduced in a very clear way. The style of writing is very good and the book is easy to read and the story feels unique, which is something I value a lot. I may not have been so surprised by the way the book developed and the twists and turns in the plot was rather predictable from the start, but I still really enjoyed it. Overall, the characters felt well developed, but I did however struggle a bit with seeing the difference between Brady and Felix. I do feel like they came out a bit too similar and they sort of had the same voice. Felix was a bit more curious though, and a bit more interesting to follow in the beginning….

When I was 8 years old I began breeding rabbits and went to shows and everything. Eventually had over twenty individuals, but by 17 I transitioned into breeding cats instead. I’m very blunt and honest. Don’t ask me something if you’re not ready to hear the truth. I met my husband through my mother. He was helping her renovate her house while I was in Africa working. She texted me saying I should come home because she had found a man for me. Guess she was right. I live on a small farm in the middle of the woods in a village where hardly anyone…
