Welcome to my weird world!
I was hooked from the get-go on Defy The Night, the first book in a trilogy and the first I’ve read from Brigid Kemmerer. If books like these were assigned to high schools instead of the usual dinosaurs like The Great Gatsby or Wuthering Heights, more kids would definitely love to read. Imagine Robin Hood...

I’ve been a fan of Cale Dietrich ever since his Love Interest days. Can’t believe that was almost ten years ago! Four books in, I’ve noticed a pattern he has, of his protagonists being, well, probably a fair bit like him? I see a bit of myself in a lot of his heroes. They tend... Continue Reading →
I read this book knowing I would love it. And I waited ages for it to arrive, like my dad when he was a little kid waiting for Episodes 5 and 6 of Star Wars. Books like these will get children to actually like reading, because it does something that so many authors forget to... Continue Reading →
Okay. So, The Dryad Storm, the last book in the long-running Black Witch series, is not just the longest book in the series at 724 pages, with all the others having 600 or a little over, but the text is smaller too, to the point where I think if this were the same font size... Continue Reading →
Simon Mayo is responsible for one of my favourite book trilogies as a teen, the Itch trilogy. Long story short, it was about a science geek named Itchingham (a curse of a name, I know) who discovers a radioactive rock not found on the periodic table which had the power to be a new energy...

Fable For The End Of The World is a suitable title for this book. The definition of a fable is a short story with a moral or two, usually involving animals. It has a moral and some very interesting creatures, plus it’s a standalone. It also has the material to warrant a franchise or at... Continue Reading →
Oh, the sweet throwbacks to nightmares we have in the school system, feeling like we’re the biggest unworthy screwups. Our hero in this fun little book is Jude Barnett, and for those unaware, this is a companion sequel to Instant Karma, that book being about Jude’s sister Prudence earning the ability for bad luck to...

A friend of mine who knows I’m into pirates, especially of the queer variety (we’re both forever Flag Means Death fans) lent me this book for me to read, and it was a step-up from some other recent works I’ve read. If anything, it’s made me more excited to finally try out the Pirates of... Continue Reading →
I haven't published any reviews in months, and I apologize for that. I've been battling depression and have been very out of it for reading, and a bunch of other stuff I like doing too. I'm slowly getting back to normal, and I have a bunch of reviews to publish, and, well, I just got... Continue Reading →
I was wondering if and when Ransom Riggs would release a new book, and if it would or would not be related to his megasmash Miss Peregrine series. The first three books in his original trilogy were all perfect scores on my old website, a series of adventure, fantasy, history, tension and heart that shot... Continue Reading →
