Amelia Dark Magician and Pesky Ghosts

Amelia Shadows V01 Amelia Shadows and the New Head Ghost by Matthew Dow Smith

March 13, 2026 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

While I enjoyed the build up, the ending was too quick in the graphic novel, Amelia Shadows and the New Head Ghost by Matthew Dow Smith. We have the slow climb of Amelia and her tutor trying to beat the “New Head Ghost” her father has hired to manage their home, then BOOM Ameila figures out “the secret” to her father’s choice, why there is a new ghost in the house (and why he is so bossy), and then has more questions. It is interesting, […]

Going to Dark Places

Dark Places by Gillian Flynn

March 11, 2026 by Caesar's Wife Leave a Comment

Dark Places tells the horrific tale of Libby Day, the sole survivor of her murdered family. Libby was only a child when her mother and two sisters were slaughtered, and she was the key witness who testified that her troubled brother Ben was the murderer. Why did Libby, and the rest of her small town, believe Ben could be guilty of such a brutal crime? Well, he dyed his hair black. He liked heavy metal music. He doodled upside-down crosses in his diary. Satanic panic […]

You Did Nothing Wrong by C.G. Drews

You Did Nothing Wrong by C.G. Drews

March 11, 2026 by Classic 4 Comments

Please note that I received this book via NetGalley. This did not affect my rating or review. I have to say, I am glad that I gave C.G. Drews another chance. I did not care for the first book that I read by them, Don’t Let The Forest In, and once I found out there was going to be another book in that series I went, well that’s a hard pass. But I saw a fellow friend/reviewer who loved this book so gave them another chance. […]

Prince? Assassin? Both?

The Boy Wonder by Juni Ba, Chris O'Halloran, Aditya Bidikar

March 11, 2026 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

When I learned that Dick Grayson was only one of several Robins I was probably in my thirties. How could this be? I mean Bruce Wayne stayed the same, why didn’t Robin? Did he really need to be Nightwing? Red Hood? Red Robin? What does this prove?  Honestly, I don’t know if it has to prove anything, but in Juni Ba, Chris O’Halloran, Aditya Bidikar (and others) The Boy Wonder they collected some of the stories that focus on the newest addition the SuperHero of […]

Who is Jean Moreau if he is no longer a Raven?

The Sunshine Court (All for the Game book 4) by Nora Sakavic

The Golden Raven (All for the Game book 5) by Nora Sakavic

March 9, 2026 by carmelpie Leave a Comment

“He hasn’t played a clean game in years,” Kevin admitted, “but he knows how to follow orders. If you tell him to submit, he will.” “Literally the most awkward way you could’ve worded it,” Jeremy said. ― Nora Sakavic, The Sunshine Court The Sunshine Court tells the story of Jean Moreau after he leaves the Ravens. Jean’s story overlaps with the end of the third book in The Foxhole Court trilogy, “The King’s Men.” After being extracted from Edgar Allen, Jean Moreau must come to […]

The story in grandmother’s attic

A Family Secret by Eric Heuvel and Lorraine T. Miller

February 26, 2026 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Due to the familiarity of the story presented in A Family Secret by Eric Heuvel and Lorraine T. Miller (Translator), things were not as impactful as it could have been. However, if this is your first or near first time reading a WWII / Holocaust story, it is good. The images are busy, so take your time with them. The ending is a smidgen idealistic, but it’s also a nice touch. I am now curious about the sequel / companion graphic novel. I would have […]
