Dashing Through the Snow (Novel by Carol Higgins Clark)
The novel entitled “Dashing Through the Snow” by Carol Higgins Clark, and I’m guessing with the help from her mother Mary Higgins Clark, was very disappointing. I couldn’t even bring myself to completing the entire book before I had to call it quits. The novel lacked interest for …

Jane Eyre
‘Jane Eyre’ reflects Charlotte Bronte’s own independent spirit, but also her desire to be loved and appreciated as a woman and as a human being. Poor yet spiritually rich, plain yet beautiful inside, Jane Eyre is, in many ways, a Cinderella of the Victorian times.

Grendel John Gardner
John Gardner ‘Grendel’. Probably, most people heard about Grendel, an infamous monster, a half-human who used to terrorize Dans’ villages.

The Heir by Kiera Cass, 2015 Book
I’d already read the previous three books in ‘The Selection Series’, and I didn’t enjoy them. I didn’t particularly like the characters or the plot. So, when I heard that the trilogy was being stretched into a five-part series, I was not impressed. But I did read it, because …

The Longcase Clock book
It is often, although by no means always, the case, that when a book has the most straightforward and perhaps even boring of titles, inside there may lurk a fascinating wealth of information and interest. I certainly think that this is the case with The Longcase Clock, Eric Bruton’s …

How to Kill a Monster by R.L. Stine
This book, How to Kill a Monster, by R.L. Stine is an interesting book for children. It is an easy read, with several interesting twists. The main characters are fairly realistic, although, as in all R.L. Stine books, the adults are strangely dissociated from the action.
Even though the plot …
Touch of the Wolf by Karen Whiddon
I have read this book written by Karen Whiddon, and this book is very fictional. Something about this book made me remember another similar book that I’ve read, only that this is way better.
The book that I have read before has the same characters, which are shape-shifter. …

Dirty by Megan Hart
I should preface this review by stating clearly that this is a work of erotic fiction, so you should stay away far away from it if you are easily scandalized.
Disclaimers aside, I think Hart is one of the best erotica writers out there today. She understands that the …
The Punisher Vol 5: Streets of Laredo
PUNISHER: Streets of Laredo
Ennis’ Punisher was pretty uneven when it was published under the Marvel Knights’ line. This humor of the earlier issues isn’t as apparent here as in other volumes,and in fact, the end of this book also marked the titles’ transition to the MAX adult line.
Mercifully.
This collection …
The Life Cycle Library for Young People and Parents: Book 1
