A Peculiar Haunted House by Paul Czajak

by Leave a Comment

I have had the opportunity to read A Peculiar Haunted House by Paul Czajak a few times now (it is due mid August 2024) via online reader copies. And each time I think it gets better. The idea is simple: a house on the street is too peculiar for anyone to live in. In fact it probably is haunted. Spoiler: It is!  Because every time someone moves in and tries to remodel and change things about,  the house will not have anything to do with […]

This school has spirit

Spirited V02 Go, Ghoul, Go! by Liv Livingston

by Leave a Comment

The one thing I have with sequels is that if I read them too far apart, I forget parts of book one/the book(s) before. And that happened with  Spirited V02 Go, Ghoul, Go! by Liv Livingston and Glass House Graphics. I mean, I remembered that Liv is the only living person (if you don’t count the werewolves and creatures of the swamp and such, I don’t count vampires) in a school of mostly ghosts. I remembered that she has two good friends, a “mean-girl” in […]

The Witch is a you know… so some heroes gotta stop her

The Witch's Throne volume one by Cedric Caballes

by Leave a Comment

I like graphic novels, enjoy some fantasy and if a story has comedy and adventure, that is not a turn off. And The Witch’s Throne volume one by Cedric Caballes is all the above.  Set up as if you are playing a Dungeons & Dragon like online game, there are multiple stories going along simultaneously with about a dozen main characters. However, it is not always clear when you are moving onto them, and with the several characters and several story-lines all at once, things […]

History is not only about the past.

Obaasan's Boots by Janis Bridger and Lara Jean Okihiro

by Leave a Comment

It took me months to read Obaasan’s Boots by Janis Bridger and Lara Jean Okihiro because I was reading it via an online reader copy at lunch and when I could sneak it in on my phone (which was not as often as I’d like as there was always something else to read or do when there). This long time reading probably affected the biggest issue I had which was, I was not always sure which cousin was who. Charlotte and Lou are marked by […]

From Creepy Indoor Waterparks to Paranormal Activity-Plagued Cracker Barrels

Nightmare of A Trip by Maureen Kilmer

by 3 Comments

When the Somerset family heads out on a road trip from Wisconsin to Florida, mom Leigh expects plenty of bumps along the way – but even she doesn’t expect to be haunted by ghosts after a strange incident at an abandoned house. My family has always been big on road trips, and consequently I have spent days driving down endless roads in both the United States and India. You see plenty of road trips on television and in books, but rarely the family caravan type. […]

The Boy on the moon

Lunar Boy by Jes and Cin Wibowo

by 1 Comment

I am starting my review of Lunar Boy with: I have questions. None are about the story itself, which is, a child from the Moon is adopted by a woman from New Earth. They live on a space station until the mother, in the process of helping her New Earth friend deal with the death of his wife, falls in love, marries, and moves to New Earth. Then, Indu (the child) must deal with not just the stress of a move to a new home, […]
