Eclipse by Andy Rash
If you get the chance to read Eclipse by Andy Rash before April 8, 2024, please do. However, my store is having issues with trying to locate copies (this was read via an online copy). Still it will be great after the events. The idea is simple: a boy learns about a solar eclipse in his area. He finds out the exact location closest to him) that will be in the direct path of it. His dad okays them going, they pack their bags, go […]
The Heiress by Rachel Hawkins
This is the second book I’ve read by Rachel Hawkins. I loved her first book, The Villa, which centered around an Italian villa which was the site of a mysterious death in the seventies. This second book centers around heiress Ruby McTavish Callahan Woodwar Miller Kenmore. Ruby first became famous when she was just a toddler after being the victim of a famous kidnapping (think Lindbergh baby with a happier ending). She’s been married and widowed four times which only adds to her notoriety. When […]
A Peculiar Haunted House by Paul Czajak
I have had the opportunity to read A Peculiar Haunted House by Paul Czajak a few times now (it is due mid August 2024) via online reader copies. And each time I think it gets better. The idea is simple: a house on the street is too peculiar for anyone to live in. In fact it probably is haunted. Spoiler: It is! Because every time someone moves in and tries to remodel and change things about, the house will not have anything to do with […]
Spirited V02 Go, Ghoul, Go! by Liv Livingston
The one thing I have with sequels is that if I read them too far apart, I forget parts of book one/the book(s) before. And that happened with Spirited V02 Go, Ghoul, Go! by Liv Livingston and Glass House Graphics. I mean, I remembered that Liv is the only living person (if you don’t count the werewolves and creatures of the swamp and such, I don’t count vampires) in a school of mostly ghosts. I remembered that she has two good friends, a “mean-girl” in […]
The Expatriates by Janice Y.K. Lee
The Expatriates was a big buzzy book when it was first published and has been sitting on my TBR pile for literal years. I decided to read it when I saw that Prime was turning it into a series. I have not watched the series since finishing the book and I have no plans to, which should tell you what I thought of it. I love “rich people problems” stories, but I’ve figured out that the rich people in question need to be so insanely […]
Hugo’s Haunted Handbook by Dave Whamond
Hugo’s Haunted Handbook by Dave Whamond is a cute story about getting rid of a “scary ghost” who maybe is not as scary as you think, or as “gone” as you might hope. The humor is modern, with some cleverness for both the aimed reader (stronger age six/seven to around age 10) and adults. Along the lines of Fitz and Cleo by Jonathan Stutzman and Simon and Chester by Cale Atkinson. Things are simple, and the artwork is what you need to watch so you […]
