James Lingard - The Caucasus Cauldron

4 Stars A gripping thriller! What a wonderful story in The Caucasus Cauldron by James Lingard. I haven't read work from this author before, and I enjoyed this story. This is a great historical thriller. This author brings the story to life. This author has a great imagination. Filled with spies, terrorists, and Russians, plus a lot more. In 1992 (which is an interesting year to now be called historical). The story revolves around Mac, the protagonist of the story, and is on a

Miles Watson - Devils You Know

4 Stars Quite a dark and dramatic anthology. What a grandly dark collection of stories in Devils You Know by Miles Watson. This is the first time I've read this author's works, and it won't be the last time. This anthology of all these greatly, dark, evil, criminal and murderous stories, fits this title perfectly. I have just become a fan of this author. One of my favorite stories was Nosferautu (what could be darker than Nazis), and it was extremely interesting. I liked all

B.P. Smythe - Mavis Bone and the Fledgling Killer

4 Stars Enjoyed this story! What a grand story in Mavis Bone and the Fledgling Killer by B.P. Smythe. This is the first book of this author that I've read, and I have become a fan. I like how it shows a bit of the backstory of not just Mavis, but the killer. Everyone has a reason why they do things, even if it doesn't make sense to others. I really liked Mavis, and she is a strong, and "knows what she wants" kind of a person, and somehow, that led her to being a private inves

Ann Morris - Lexi's Special Tooth Fairy Pillow

Illustrator- Agus Prajogo 4 Stars Great story Morris pens a fun and entertaining story in Lexi's Special Tooth Fairy Pillow. I have read work from this author before, and I really enjoyed it. The characters were wonderful, and they taught a lot about culture, and how the loss of a first tooth can be an interesting, but also scary experience. However, there are things to look forward to. The illustrations were magnificent. This book would be perfect to read to a child or have

Rob White - The Maestro Monologue

4 Stars An Interesting Read What an interesting self-help read in The Maestro Monologue by Rob White. haven't read work from this author before, and I enjoyed this title. This book gives a lot of information about self-help and making that negativity that you feel on the inside be able to escape, so you can do what you want to do. It's about not letting yourself doubt or conscious of taking risks and steps toward your goals. It's a good read, and it can be helpful. It's a go

AJ Parnell - Making Monsters: Dark Origins

4 Stars Grand Read What a grandly dark story in Making Monsters: Dark Origins by AJ Parnell. This is the first book of this author that I've read. I enjoyed this dark story and the wonderous creatures within. Yes, unfortunately ,the creature is a supernatural serial killer, so part person, part monster, and he's leaving a path of kills from England to South Africa. This book has a lot of twists and turns, and corruption, and you never know what's going to happen next. The sto

Joel Flanagan-Grannemann- Talia: On the Shore of the Sea

4 Stars A Great Read Sequel What a grand story in Talia: On the Shore of the Sea by Joel Flanagan-Grannemann. I read the book before this, and I had to read this one, just to find out what happened next. This is the second book of the "servants of the moon and sun series). It's a great sequel, and I like that the two books are basically "fairy-tales" for adults. There is a lot going on, and Talia isn't your typical fairy, and I know that sounds a bit weird, but for this story

Charlotte Whitney - The Unveiling of Polly Forrest

4 Stars Great Read What a grand mystery in The Unveiling of Polly Forrest by Charlotte Whitney. This is the first book of this author's that I've read. The story brings in the reader instantly, and introduces the reader to Polly, and her family. Here it is, 1934. Michigan. There are different perspectives, but one thing that happens, Polly's husband Sam is dead. Murdered (and that's putting it lightly). I like how the story was put together, and the writing style of Whitney m

George P. Norris- The Blue Executions

4 Stars Grand Unique read What a grand realistic story in The Blue Executions by George P. Norris. Norris writes this story well, and his knowledge of being a retired NYPD officer, and of the city, shows within this story. Basically, there is a serial killer, and he's aiming for police officers. It is a very realistic story and I've read some that aren't. There are different levels to the story, including Tommy's relationship with an ADA. The reader was pulled into the lives

(CSSD: Central Sterile Services Department) 4 Stars Very informative Losper pens an informative title in Managing a CSSD: A personal Perspective by Joan M. Losper. I haven't read work from this author before, and even though I had to really look up what CSSD is and what the department does, so I can be informed when I read this book, I learned a lot about something I didn't even think about before. This book gives a lot of information about Central Sterile Services Department

William Florence - Emerald Ridge

4 Stars Great Read What a great, dramatic story in Emerald Ridge by William Florence. This is the first book that I've read of this author’s, and I enjoyed it. I hope to read more of Florence's stories. This author has a great imagination and I'm glad it's being shared with stories. This is the first book in the Max Blake Mysteries that I've read, and it's book 6, and I will probably read more in the series. Max Blake, in this story, has to travel to Ireland, to solve a myste

The characters had a lot of depth and were very realistic. I read a lot of stories, and I love the different writing styles and storytelling abilities. This author had a grand writing style, and indeed can tell stories. This author has a great imagination. It is a very well-written story, and I enjoyed it. It’s one of those embrace

Jes Drew - Red as Blood

4 Stars A Grand Read What a grand story in Red as Blood by Jes Drew. This is the first novella in the The Clockwork FaerieTale series. I've read work from Jes Drew before, and I enjoyed it. I am a definite fan of this author! I always wondered what happened to Rose Red, and I guess now I know. It's a fairytale gone western. I really liked this story and a very unique and interesting take on a character from an old fairy tale. Rose is in trouble, and her sister seems to be it.

Sally Lee Baker - Yukon's Yodeling Yaks

4 Stars Yes, saying it is just plain fun! Baker pens a wonderfully, tongue twisting story in Yukon's Yodeling Yaks. I have read all of the alphabet books in this series, Grandma's Books. Here we meet the Yodeling Yaks, Yosef, Yolanda and Yara. The characters were funny and very creative, all setting the stage for learning about the letter "y." The illustrations were wonderfully done by the author. This book would be perfect to read to a child or have the child read it back. I

4 Stars A great collection This collection of poetry by Rolle W. is a wonderful work of words. The words almost danced across the pages of Book of Short Sorrows. I enjoyed reading this collection, and entering the mind of the prolific poets. Such a wonderful read. I liked how the poems were categorized, but I didn't think it was totally necessary, but that's just my opinion My favorite was Before the Journey which starts with "My friend, don’t you wait for me, It’s a long way
