My Review: Let me start by saying that it takes a lot for me to like a book about vampires. How many different ways can you see them? However, Ms. Lipman has come up with a novel idea that struck me and I quite liked it. Instead of being predators of the dark, they help […]
My Review: This book starts out just like any book with a stay-at-home big sister with a movie star little sister. Mina takes it to the extreme and is agoraphobic. Her sister arriving one night threw everything into a tizzy. Bernadette is your typical starlet, thinking everything revolves around her even though she just wants […]
My Review: This is the third book of the Dresden Files. With each one, Jim Butcher continues to get better. That’s to be expected with every author. What I had to love the most about this book was Harry’s friend, Michael. Michael is a righteous man and is the Fist of God. He’s able to […]

My Review: Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children definitely falls within the small house publishing preview. Unique and oddly compelling, we’re taken along on a journey with Jacob as he discovers the impossible may in fact be possible. Perhaps the stories his grandfather had been telling all along were true, even though no one else […]
My Review: I actually went back and forth over whether to give this 2 stars or 3. The story line was great and I enjoyed reading it. We are treated by two stories, essentially. One is Lily’s and the other is Samuel’s. As the book progresses, we get to see what happened to Samuel as […]
My Review: This book has the flavor of I Am Number Four by Pitticus Lore, and yet it was different. It just had that feeling. You have your teenage girl, Gillian, who’s stuck in this life she didn’t want or ask for and having to battle it out to keep the planet safe. That is […]
