Max and Chaffy: Search for the Ice Chaffy by Jamie Smart

Max and Chaffy: Welcome to Animal Island by Jamie Smart

Max and Chaffy: The Great Cupcake Mystery by Jamie Smart

March 14, 2025 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Do you want a cute story in a series that helps you to enjoy reading for the aged 6 to 9 (younger 10)? Max and Chaffy: Search for the Ice Chaffy by Jamie Smart is  the book you. For the child reader, you should read the first ones, but an adult can pick up things quickly. The fun part is that there are hide and seeks added. The colors are bold and details minimal, but keeps things moving along, while having fun reading. I did […]

The Undetectables by Courtney Smyth

March 13, 2025 by finnyfinfinn Leave a Comment

I would never regret dying in a cat costume. I am now actively plotting how I can do so. Should I dress like a cat all the time just in case?  Because I am totally willing to do that. The Undetectables came together when they were fourteen at the site of their first murder, that of Theodore Wyatt of the infamous cat costume. Six years later his murder is still unsolved and the girls have scattered. Mallory has been struggling with fibromyalgia, Diana is busy […]

The Next Mrs. Parrish by Liv Constantine

The Next Mrs. Parrish by Liv Constantine

March 10, 2025 by Classic Leave a Comment

I don’t have too much to say about this one outside of, not every thing needs a sequel. This was just bad. From beginning to end the only comment I had to myself was who was this for exactly? The first book ended perfectly with Daphne Parrish (the first Mrs. Parrish) getting away clean from her ex-husband and his new terrible wife. This sequel had so many ridiculous side plots that I just got fed up. And with how this second one ended, I have […]

Glitch Volume 1 by Abigail Blackman, Eleanor Summers and Shima Shinya

March 6, 2025 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

While cleaning up older links to online reader copies, I found one from 2023. How or why it was still active, I do not know (I have had ones from February 2025 that have already become inactive). Therefore, yes Glitch Volume 1 by Abigail Blackman, Eleanor Summers (translator) and Shima Shinya is available in a finished copy, as are the other (so far) three volumes in this series. I am not sure if there will be more, but I hope it is wrapped up in […]

Amazing Grace

How To Kill Your Family by Bella Mackie

March 6, 2025 by finnyfinfinn 2 Comments

Total psychopath or justifiably big mad at her treatment at the hands of her wealthy bio-family? That’s for us and a jury of her peers to decide! Grace Bernard has been imprisoned for a murder she didn’t commit. But not for any of the several murders she did carry out. Getting away with all of the murders is the ultimate goal, but as Grace languishes in prison waiting for her appeal she’s got some time to kill. What better way to fill that time than […]

She’s not the spirit we wanted, but the one we needed

Zawa + The Belly of the Beast by Michael Dialynas

March 6, 2025 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I was a few pages into Zawa + The Belly of the Beast by Michael Dialynas when I said, “I think this might be a rating of four.” I was not sure why, but the humor and story up to this point made me think I was going to really really like it. Well, I did enjoy it, but not really really liked it. As the story went along, there were some missing pieces, and I was not liking some of the characters (the ones […]
