Jacob Greene is a child of cultists – extremists with a deep connection to powerful gods. To stay in good favor and receive great powers from these gods Jacob’s family (both biological family and cult group family) must occasion a sacrifice now then. Jacob doesn’t seem to question this (it’s how he’s been raised, after… Continue reading

RUNNING WITH RHINOS – Ed Warner
Have you ever gone to a friend’s house to see photos and hear stories about their recent vacation? You reel with laughter at their exploits and gasp at their near-death experiences and at the end of the telling someone says, “You should write that down. It would make a great book!” This is that book.… Continue reading

THE INVASION – graphic novel
No. No, no, no. I absolutely loved The Animorphs book series by K.A. Applegate. I worked in a book store when they first started coming out and I was constantly recommending the series. The story in a nutshell: a group of young kids (Jake, Rachel, Cassie, Tobias, and Marco) witness an alien spacecraft coming down… Continue reading

THE LOST QUEEN – Signe Pike
It’s Arthurian legend retold time again. This time we focus on Languoreth, a future queen, and her brother Lailoken. They are raised in Scotland as royalty in the old ways – with mysticism and magic. But a new religion is on the rise, threatening their way of life and their future – Christianity. Languoreth has… Continue reading

THE KINGDOM OF THE GODS – graphic novel
I requested this book because it looked interesting. I do occasionally enjoy a graphic novel, and lately I’ve wanted graphic novels that are not the ‘norm.’ I had no idea that this was a Netflix series. This book is two stories. They don’t don’t really seem to be related – not the same characters, not… Continue reading

CURSED – Thomas Wheeler
I’ve had an interest in the Arthurian legends for a very, very long time and it’s been interesting to see the cyclical nature of new Arthur-era stories. We can go years without seeing new Arthur stories being told and then suddenly we get a slough of them. I was interested in this because of the… Continue reading

A LAND APART – Ian Roberts
Have you ever visited a historical site – in the U.S., these places are usually identified with brown signs signifying they are places of historic significance – and then gone into the visitor’s center at this historic site and seen the plethora of memorabilia that is somehow connected with that site, usually including plenty of… Continue reading

THE CITY OF MIRRORS – Justin Cronin
Justin Cronin finishes off his epic, The Passage, trilogy with The City of Mirrors. Time has passed since ‘The Twelve’ got their butts kicked. Life is good and the sense of real community is growing again. Amy is missing but she is being seen in peoples’ dreams. And we get to know Zero. We really… Continue reading

I, CRIMSONSTREAK – Matt Adams
If you have been following my blog for any length of time, by now you must know that I enjoy superheroes and superhero fiction. Finding books, as opposed to graphic novels (essentially book-length comics) was, at one time, relatively rare, though there’s been a bit of a boon in such titles. I read the follow-up… Continue reading

TERMINUS – Tristan Palmgren
I don’t do this too often, but I’m going to use the publisher’s descriptions as posted on Goodreads, to sum up this book: Operatives from an alien culture struggle to survive in medieval Italy, in the SF sequel to the astonishing Quietus. The transdimensional empire, the Unity, has dissolved, its ruling powers forced into exile… Continue reading
