Hosts is the 5th book in the Repairman Jack series. For those of you who haven’t been introduced, Repairman Jack fixes things, fixes situations that are out of control.

All the Rage is the 4th book in the Repairman Jack series. The story centers around an impossible molecule that becomes inert a month after extraction from its source. All evidence of it (digital image, physical composition, notes on paper) reverts to a different molecule, different substance. Dr. Nadia Radzminsky has been hired to study […]
Legacies is the 2nd book in the Repairman Jack series. It was the first of his adult series that I read. It seems rather violent after just reading the YA novel Jack: Secret Histories, a prequel to the series. It’s hard to determine if Jack is a good guy or bad. I like the concept […]
I enjoyed this 2nd book in The Dresden Files more than the first. The murders Dresden (resident wizard, detective consultant extraordinaire) investigates have signs of wolf activity.

It has been almost ten years since I first saw Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, after reading the first few books and waiting impatiently for it to be released. Since then there have been many book and movie releases. After nearly a decade, […]
Whoa. That just about sums-up the third novel of George R. R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire in a word. Clocking-in at over 900 pages, it manages to move at a faster pace than its predecessors. A lot happens. Story arcs that have been unresolved for what seems like forever have finally been […]
For those who are new to Frank Beddor’s Looking Glass Wars trilogy, the story takes place in the Queendom of Wonderland and it’s surrounding countries, where Alyss, the heir to the throne of Wonderland (and one of the two remaining members of the Heart family) is taken through a the pool of tears (a passage […]
