Book Review: Curse of the Dead-Eyed Doll
I requested Curse of the Dead-Eyed Doll on NetGalley because I’m currently writing a middle grade horror story, and I haven’t read much middle grade this years.

Read MoreBook Review: Space Opera
Space Opera was a strange book that seemed to break all the rules. Even though the end was slightly anticlimactic end, it was an enjoyable ride. However, it did take me while to get into. This was not the kind of book I got sucked into right away and read in a few hours. The…

Read MoreBook Review: Cthulhu Blues
I finally got around to reading Cthulhu Blues, the third installment in the Spectra Files trilogy. It was refreshing to read a book set New England. Many of the books I’ve read lately have either been set on the West Coast or in the rural midwest. While I do enjoy reading about places I’ve never…
