Who wouldn’t be excited to be invited to an exclusive party by one of the most popular people? And she said keep it a secret…so they did, from all their friends and families. Unfortunately, almost as soon as they arrive they find themselves facing peril–bad weather, power outages, no reception and oh…everyone is slowly getting murdered one by one. Some of them are friends, some are strangers to one another, what connection do they have? Why are they being murdered and which one of the […]
More Dead Girls
One of my favorite authors is Dennis Lehane. He’s a hard author for many because he goes so deep into the violent and depraved nature of people that most of us are blissfully unaware of. He shines a spotlight on the real boogeymen of the world and we can close the book when we’re done and say, “I’m glad this was just a book” and can go back to our normal lives. I feel like Eric Rickstad is a similar author with similar subject […]

This is a story of rural America in the 1980s, a failing farm, a slain family, […]
More Gideon and Sirius – and Sirius lives through the whole book!
So this is book two of the Gideon and Sirius series. Sirius is again one of the two main characters, and he’s just as lovable as in the first book. Gideon’s ok too. He’s a little childish, but I don’t find him that annoying. I read a few Goodreads reviews for these books, and a lot of people noted that Gideon’s constant puns and joking around are annoying. I’m a big fan of puns. My dad’s a big punner (made up word), so that endears […]
Dewey #813.08 Short Story Collections
