I love to read. I'm usually reading at least 3 books at a time. They're not all good... some are really bad. I have trouble not finishing books though. Now CBR has doubled down on that trouble, because I want to get credit for reading the bad ones too!

Forest of Ruin by Kelley Armstrong

I can’t remember how I found this trilogy, but I borrowed this first book from my library as an audiobook.  The narrator had an awesome voice and read the story really well.  It’s amazing how a narrator can make a book so much more enjoyable. Anyway, I LOVED this series. We start out visiting a group of prisoners who are being banished / exiled to the forest of the dead.  We’re not really sure what that means, but we know it’s bad.  Ronin is the […]

Ugh, another stinker I had to power through

Ghost Road Blues (Pine Deep #1) by Jonathan Maberry

by Leave a Comment

After reading the zombie anthology that Jonathan Maberry helped to edit, I wanted to try one of his books.  My library had the first book in his Pine Deep series, so I decided to give it a try. Just woof.  I did NOT like this book.  So many people were just giant assholes and I couldn’t get behind them as characters.  If I don’t like the characters, it’s just not going to happen for me. I guess some people came back to life and just […]

Space is creepy. Ghosts in space are creepier…

Dead Silence by S.A. Barnes

by Leave a Comment

Holy crap was this creepy.  Just like the last book I reviewed, I recommend listening to the audiobook.  The sense of dread is overwhelming, and I’m not sure you’d be able to create it that much for yourself by just reading. Claire is the team leader of a salvage crew in space.  They’re on their last mission and about to be moved on to different jobs.  Claire doesn’t want to leave, because she has nothing to go home for.  In the first few minutes you’re […]

Zombie Anthology!!

Nights of the Living Dead by Jonathan Maberry and various

by Leave a Comment

  This is another one of those collaboration efforts by a bunch of well known (especially in the zombie genre) authors.  Like all of the anthologies I’ve read this year (is anthology the right word?), some were realllllly really good, and I actually wanted to hear more about the characters and world that the author created.  Some were fine and I just read through them and they left my brain forever.  I don’t really remember any of them being truly bad though. There was one […]

Two more Odd Thomas novels that were OK

Odd Hours (Odd Thomas #4) by Dean Koontz

Odd Apocalypse (Odd Thomas #5) by Dean Koontz

by Leave a Comment

OK, so I made it to book 4 of the Odd Thomas series.  I don’t know.  I really liked the first book.  Each subsequent book gets weirder and weirder though.  And don’t get me wrong, I’m ok with weird.  It’s almost like each book tries to out-weird the one before it though.  We meet AnnaMaria too, and she’s just a lot.  She’s supposed to be this super charismatic, charming person.  To me she just read as annoyingly vague?  Nothing she said made sense or really […]

I still like the characters, but the situations are getting harder to believe

A Different Dawn (Nina Guerrera #2) by Isabella Maldonado

by Leave a Comment

So in the first Nina Guerrera book, a serial killer was after Nina to finish the job he started years ago when he kidnapped her as a teen.  In this book, she’s also related to the mystery.  I don’t want to spoil it, because it is interesting.  It’s just getting hard to believe that EVERY SERIAL KILLER is obsessed with her. Again Ms. Maldonado has come up with an interesting premise.  Families that just recently brought home a baby girl from the hospital are being […]
