https://killingmykindle.com/2018/10/10/episode-1-38-i-punched-satan/ Wherein I review: 144. The Fall of the House of Cabal (Johannes Cabal #5) by Jonathan L. Howard 145. Post Captain (Aubrey & Maturin #2) by Patrick O’Brian I bid adieu (temporarily, dark forces willing) to my favorite necromancer and I continue the swashbuckling seafaring adventures of Captain Jack and his doctor pals. And I continue to bust through two other wonderful but long books.
And Then There Were Satanists … The Legacy
The Legacy, by John Coyne, is a mixture of an Agatha Christie whodunnit, as members of a house party are knocked off one by one, and an occult thriller. It’s not always clear how much of the menace is due to dark magic or just plain old greed, as six people have been elected to inherit a legacy — of vast wealth, property, and possibly, supernatural power. Coyne wrote the novel as a tie-in to the successful film starring Katharine Ross and Sam Elliot (and […]
A Couple of Friends Fumbling Their Way Through a Not-Quite-Zombie Apocalypse Situation
I previously read John Dies at the End by David Wong about two years ago, and just now remembered that there was a sequel to it after my friend mentioned that I could borrow her copy should it ever be returned to her from a previous reader… I myself ended up checking this book out of the library not a single day before my friend got her own copy handed back to her literally right in front of my own two eyes. Isn’t that coincidental… […]
“When the mind’s filter disappeared, the big picture disappeared with it. There was no forest, only trees. At its worst, there were no trees, either. Just bark.”
The reviews on Uncle Stevie’s latest tome have been mostly similar: a great, suspenseful first half, telling a story about a police investigation into the brutal murder of a child by a seemingly innocent man…and a less successful second half, filled with supernatural elements and a character from earlier novels. Most reviews have pointed out that the story presented in the first half were quite enough for a full novel: local good citizen arrested for horrific crime, town turns against him and his family, regardless […]
Episode 1-37: Brothers Gotta Hug!
https://killingmykindle.com/2018/10/02/episode-1-37-brothers-gotta-hug/ Wherein I review: 143. The Brothers Cabal (Johannes Cabal #4) by Jonathan L. Howard Where I wax romantical about how much I love the Johannes Cabal series. And the joy of a solid 4th book in a series.
Erika Foster – a fabulous leading lady.
This is book two of the Erika Foster series. I don’t feel that I can say that Robert Bryndza is fast becoming my new favourite thriller author, as I believe I have said that at least times this year about other authors I have discovered. So instead I will say that Erika Foster is by far one of my favourite leading female characters. Where to begin with Erika…. As a character, she is great, and as a female character, she is brilliant. I love how […]
