This Isn’t a Book Review, but It’s Still Awesome

February 21, 2014 by MsWas 2 Comments

We’ve had thrilling interactions with authors on social media and this blog already this year, but I must tell you, R. C. O’Leary is no ordinary author. R.C. O’Leary has put his money where his mouth is! Author of Hallways in the Night, O’Leary has not only offered free books but has generously pledged that he will donate  all royalties of his books sold February 21-28, 2014 to our cause – with a guaranteed a minimum donation of $25.00, no less! Hallways in the Night, a legal thriller, is […]

Hello, Clarice

February 20, 2014 by Rachel S Leave a Comment

Last year I decided to read the Hannibal novels after I watched the first season of NBC’s Hannibal.  For those of you who have not seen Hannibal, please watch it.  Don’t let them cancel it on me!  Claire Danes’s husband plays Will Graham, and his crazy face rivals her cry face! And man, these Hannibal Lecter books are FUN.  I highly doubt I need to summarize the plot, but in case you have not been alive for the past twenty-five years, Hannibal Lecter is a convicted serial […]

This book is mesmerizing

January 17, 2014 by Valyruh 2 Comments

  This is my first foray into the works of Swedish crime-novelist Kepler, and it was –umm — mesmerizing. The horrible slaughter of nearly an entire family leaves Detective Joona Linna determined to solve the mystery, and as readers learn right away, the highly-respected detective is always right and is famous for his “told you so”s. The problem is that no one has any idea why someone butchered the father across town, then went to the home and murdered the wife, the little girl and […]

Once upon a looking for Donna time….

January 11, 2014 by popcultureboy Leave a Comment

       Oh DONNA! First you blew my mind, then you broke my heart. And now, with only your third novel in 21 years, you have managed to do both. An intriguing plot and a promising start give way to bloated navel gazing for nigh on 800 pages. Full review is on my blog here.
