4 stars I received a copy of this book from LibraryThing inexchange for an honest review. This is a perfect little satirical novel. The loathsome characters and high society facades are reminiscent of The Great Gatsby set in modern New York. I loved the little mysteries and tricks to tie everything up at the end. This was…

Oddly Normal by Otis Frampton

4 stars A nice simple comic. Interesting story with cute (yet awesome) artwork that is appropriate for all ages. I really enjoyed this book and cannot wait to continue the series. It is a fun short graphic novel that keeps you wondering what will happen next. Oddly Normal’s character is likable and relatable. Due to…

Deadly Class, Vol. 1: Reagan Youth by Rick Remender

2 stars I was really excited to finally read this graphic novel, but sadly it did not meet my expectations. Very good idea for a story. A school for assassins seems like a story that promises to be captivating, however the rest of the book just did not reach the same level as the concept….

3 stars Very cool concept for a book. I really enjoyed the world set up and new take on mind reading.I will admit that I felt bored at times and the story kind of dragged on, but overall I enjoyed it. While I found the plot interesting, I was pretty apathetic toward all of the…

I can’t even fathom how it is possible to write something so absolutely awful.Bad writing. Poor plot development. No character development.

Ashes to Ashes and Cinder to Cinder by Cameron Jace

2 stars (Free copy through Kindle store.)I did enjoy this book a little more than the first prequel. The writing style was much more fluid and not so drawn out. As with the first prequel, I enjoyed the retelling of the fairy tale. Jace is very gifted in making connections between fairy tales, folk lore,…

Beauty Never Dies by Cameron Jace

2 stars (Free book from kindle store.)Similar quality to the second prequel. Interesting retelling. But there was still something missing for me. I just couldn’t get into it. It felt rushed and Pan’s character was too stereotypical to be believable. Good idea, but poorly executed story.

2 stars (Free copy through Kindle store.)I really liked the concept for this story. Very interesting take on the Snow White tale.However, I was really bored by the writing. The descriptions felt overly detailed to the point of me completely losing interest. Despite how short it was, it seemed to drag on because of all…
