Sticking it to Cancer One Book at a Time

[Now with more dogs!] An Extinction Cycle short to hold us (me) over until Book 7 is released!

Extinction Lost: A Team Ghost Short Story (Kindle Single) by Nicholas Sansbury Smith

by Leave a Comment

This is a short story to be read after Book six.  Since I just finished book six, Amazon recommended this to me.  I was deep in Extinction town at this point, so I downloaded it!  It’s only five chapters and about eighty pages long, so it was a quick read. Don’t worry, it includes my favorite character (Apollo).  Although he doesn’t get much to do, he does comfort Fitz, and the other soldiers.  He comforted some kids that they rescued in Book  six too.  Basically everything you do (including fighting insanely weird / scary / disgusting / man-eating monsters) is […]

The Variants are back, and so is Apollo!

Extinction Aftermath (The Extinction Cycle Book 6) by Nicholas Sansbury Smith

by Leave a Comment

This is book six in the Extinction Cycle books.  I read book five a few months ago, and then needed a little break from the bleak world of the Variants and the Juveniles and all the fighting.  When I picked this book up (Kindle version natch), it took me a little while to get into it, for those very same reasons.  Once I got going though, I couldn’t stop.  I love the characters in this world.  Also, Apollo is back.  Once I saw he’d be fighting with a main character (Fitz), I clicked on X-ray on my Kindle to see […]

Some Will Not Sleep – like me!

Some Will Not Sleep: Selected Horrors by Adam Nevill

by Leave a Comment

From the author, on the title: The title of the collection was inspired by the First Epistle of Corinthians (15:5), written by Paul the Apostle: “We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed”. As with much of the bible, there are multiple interpretations of the meaning in this statement. But there are several interpretations of the title of this book too. Some within it do not sleep, some who read it may not sleep, and he who wrote it often doesn’t sleep. So I found Adam Nevill (as a writer, not the actual person!) by randomly walking […]

That Night the bad thing happened

That Night by Chevy Stevens

by Leave a Comment

So my sister recommended this book to me.  Most of my friends and family know that I like to read, so I get many recommendations.  I just have a hard time remembering who recommended what book to me since I’m usually reading four books at a time.  Anyway, I remember my sister told me to read this one because she saw it on my counter and said “oh, you’re reading that book I recommended to you”.  Stunning intellect I’ve got 🙂 Anyway, for some reason it’s taken me two months to read this book.  It’s totally not because of the […]

A great (imo) twist that I did not see coming

A Criminal Defense by William L. Myers Jr.

by Leave a Comment

Ok guys.  I consider myself to be pretty intelligent.  Like I totally know words, and even how to use them!  I can name all of the James Bond movies, and who played Bond in each of them.  Additionally, I’m a great Googler.  Now that I’ve laid out my case (ooh it’s a legal book – unintentional pun!) for my unparalleled wit, I want to say that I did not see the twist in this story coming.  And it wasn’t one of those out of left field twists for the sake of being twisty.  Once it happened (after I closed my […]

The Final MaddAddam

MaddAddam (MaddAddam Trilogy, Book 3) by Margaret Atwood

by Leave a Comment

So this is the final book in the MaddAddam trilogy.  I was so-so on book 1, and I loved book 2.  I felt like the second book tied together all of the crap you had to sit through in the first book.  Then the third book ties it together even more, and even wraps everything up. Here are a few things I learned along the way, and stuff I took note of.  I don’t think that’s a great sentence, but it’s Monday, so CUT ME SOME SLACK! We’re first introduced to Zeb in book 2, and he’s a semi-main character. […]

This one feels like a cheat

Gone by Adam Croft

by Leave a Comment

OK so I was just about to start “Only the Truth” (https://www.amazon.com/Only-Truth-Adam-Croft-ebook/dp/B01HEKF8S2/ref=asap_bc?ie=UTF8) by Adam Croft, when I saw this Kindle Short, or novella, or whatever you want to call it.  It was 38 pages, so it feels like a cheat.  I read a (greater than) one thousand page book last year, and the year before so I guess I’ll allow it.  Anyway, I wanted to read it to get a feel for the writing style of Adam Croft.  I think I liked it? So the story is about this guy whose girlfriend Anya is missing one day.  You obviously know […]

To my great surprise and delight, the dog lives!

A Dark Lure by Loreth Anne White

by 1 Comment

So spoiler alert, there’s an awesome dog in this book, and he doesn’t die! To me, that is very important information to have when reading a book. If it’s not important to you, then I really don’t want to know you 😁. A dog dying in a book really sours the whole experience for me. This book is about a serial killer and rapist who everyone thinks is dead. However, obviously he’s not. His last victim survived months and months of rape and torture. She was also pregnant during it all. On the last day of her captivity he set […]
