The Lost Carnival by Michael Moreci

by Leave a Comment

I have wanted to read The Lost Carnival for a while now. It was not because it was about Dick Grayson or DC Comics or about a (future) superhero. It was not because Michael Moreci wrote it, or Sas Milledge and Phil Hester illustrated. No, it was because I wanted to know why the character was upside … [Read more]

Fighting the book

Flesh and Blood by Caroline Mitchell

Reviews of the Last Two Shetland Island Books

Cold Earth by Ann Cleeves

Wild Fire by Ann Cleeves

Cold Earth review (4 stars) This was a disappointment. I know that the series was obviously moving to a Willow/Jimmy pairing, it just didn't work for me in the end. And it didn't help that the case got overshadowed by the will they, or won't they parts. The actual mystery was good in this, but … [Read more]

This is the second book I read this year, and it was nearly as painful as the first!

The Stranger in the Mirror by Liv Constantine

So I finished this book back in January, but I just re-read a summary of the book to refresh my memory.  Ugh.  My brain is reminding me how much I disliked this book too!  The basic story is about a woman (Addison) who's engaged to a great sounding man.  He's a nice, smart, intelligent guy with a … [Read more]
