The Exodus Gate

by Stephen Zimmer First, I want to apologize to all my followers and to Mr. Zimmer for taking so long to get this done. Life has a way of delaying things like no other. Now, to the review: The Exodus Gate is an urban fantasy and I have to say that I really enjoyed the [...]

The Franklin Incident

by Raymond Rose This short story set in Steam-punk Philly reached out and grabbed me by the shirt. From the very first sentence, I was compelled by the excellent writing to read to the end. Seeing this world through the eyes of Collector Jonathan Adams was both interesting and immersing. I particularly liked the past [...]

The Lost Daughter of Easa

by J. L. Mulvihill This High Fantasy novel is a diamond in the rough. The fantasy world that J. L. took me to was beautiful. Her characters are interesting and the story is great. The rough part is that the editing was not the greatest and the style is a bit new. Although, it was, [...]

Sorta Like a Rock Star

by Matthew Quick Although this is a departure from my normal Fantasy/Sci-Fi genre, I have to say it was an excellent read. Mr. Quick, from the very first brush stroke (Amber Appleton) creates a masterpiece. I connected so much with Amber, a homeless teenager, that I really felt her joys and her pains. I remember [...]

Boy21

By Matthew Quick This book is a bit of a departure from my normal Sci-fi/Fantasy genre. The New York Times referred to it as a sports novel; but I have to disagree with them. It is a story about a young man who loves basketball. More than that, though, it is, in my opinion, about [...]

Better Together

By Raymond Rose Better Together is a departure from my normal Paranormal and Fantasy genre books. It is a beautiful story about a man and his relationship with a woman and her son. I thought it was an insightful story about the creation and growth of a family. It explores very much the definition of [...]

Ghost Story

By Jim Butcher After the previous book ending the way it did, I was eager to read Ghost Story. There were some things that were predictable, they had to be in order for there to be a story; but I think that Butcher writes well enough that the predictable parts were not a source of [...]

Shadowheart

by Tad Williams This is the final volume of the Shadowmarch series (Shadowmarch, Shadowplay, Shadowrise, and Shadowheart). I don’t feel that I can just review this book without reviewing the whole story because I have a hard time remembering where one book ended and the next began. So here are my thoughts on the whole [...]

Fragile Things

by Neil Gaiman After a long while, I have finally finished reading Fragile Things, a compilation of short stories and poems by Neil Gaiman. It was not Mr. Gaiman’s fault that it took so long for me to finish. I would finish a story and then take a break. I have read a few of [...]

A Stroke of Midnight

by Laurell K. Hamilton This is the fourth book in the Meredith Gentry series and I have to say it was not my favorite. That isn’t to say that it was not a compelling read. I read it in less than twenty-four hours. My complaint is that even though a lot of things happened, the [...]
