Even an Irish fairy could learn from this Viking Maid

Viking Strong by Doug Cenko

May 11, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Ingrid has everything a Viking wants, a best friend, kittens, a good home. But she would like to enter and win the Strongest Viking Contest. However, the thing stopping her? she can’t swim. She sinks. But she trains and when the day comes, she gets to prove how strong a strong Viking really is. Doug Cenko’s Viking Strong is funny. If you like kittens and cats, there are a lot of amusing parts with them. There are lots of dressing up our kittens, racing our […]

They lobster the kelpcakes

Officer Clawsome V01 Kelpcake Crisis!   by Brain Smitty Smith

March 20, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

CBR15Passport  already own  As the description says of this Brain Smitty Smith graphic novel, Officer Clawsome: Kelpcake Crisis!  this is Dogman meets Spongebob. And if you like them, you will like this. There is a bit of “James Bond-like” elements with a few villains (there is a mechanical shark that has one heck of a bad diet…I mean eating garbage is one thing, but whole buildings?), but overall, everything is straight forward and not overly “sophisticated.” Then again, a talking lobster who is a former […]

And that baby monkey? I just wanna squeeze it!!!!

Student Ambassador V01 The Missing Dragon by Ryan Estrada

February 20, 2023 by BlackRaven 3 Comments

I must have been the right frame of mind because Student Ambassador V01 The Missing Dragon was what I was looking for, and I knew that any other time had I read it, I would not have enjoyed it half as much. This is a cute story that is humorous, has a nice message, and at first the hyperbolic tone and actions was a bit much to take, but once I said, “Go for the ride,” it worked out fine. And I actually learned a […]

The land is Bailiwick, the hero is Barb

Barb The Last Berzerker V03 Barb and the Battle for Bailiwick by Dan & Jaso

January 17, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

CBR15Passport Different Countries. (The magical realm of Bailiwick) Barb The Last Berzerker V03 Barb and the Battle for Bailiwick is the third installment of the Dan & Jason series. However, while it was still funny, it was not as strong as the first two. It did continue the story of Barb the Berzerker and friends (and enemies) as they battle for their home, families, and friends. We see how different people (monsters, humans, etc.) come together as a team. Now, they do not fight each […]

Fish or fowl?

The Cat, the Owl and the Fresh Fish by Nadine Robert

December 21, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

When reading the title I read, The Cat, the Owl and the Fresh Fish as “The Cat and Owl” making me think this was going to be an Owl and Pussycat remake. Was it going to be “modern” or keep to the classic format? Was it going to be long, short or…. Oh, wait it has this fish thing going on, too. Well maybe I will read then (I thought) as it is going to be different. It is not an Owl and Pussycat story. […]

Well, I wanted to find out what happened next

Stung V02 Cured by Bethany Wiggins

December 6, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Book two of the Stung series by Bethany Wiggins should be read after you’ve read book one, or some of the names, events and the overall concept will be lost. This time we see in Cured how it follows a character we had seen in book one but was not important to that story arc, the two main characters of book one, a few side characters from book one and a few new people. There are some mature themes such as an event happened to […]
