Blood City Rollers by V.P. Anderson

March 1, 2024 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I read Blood City Rollers by V.P. Anderson and illustrated by Tatiana Hill via an online reader copy.  I know that I will not be reading it again when it comes out, or buying a copy as there were several spots that I was not “digging” and felt they were not as fleshed out as they could have been. It might be easy to do roller derby in a graphic novel, but it might not be the easiest subject if you are adding vampires, witches, […]

Wei Skates On by Nathan Chen

Pop’s Perfect Present by Corey Finkle

November 20, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

While I am still trying to clean up my older reader copies from my online list, I have found a few new ones as well. And the below tiles came out earlier in 2023, which I read via online reader copy. And both are fun books that fit today’s themes with diverse characters and a single parent.  Do you like to ice skate? Wei in Wei Skates On really likes it. In fact, so much they started as a toddler and by almost double numbers […]

A mistaken identity that leads to ones true identity

Ana on the Edge by A. J. Sass

October 30, 2020 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

When I saw that I could request a reader copy of Ana on the Edge by A. J. Sass, I figured, “Why not?” As worse case would be I do not like the story and passed it onto a coworker who might.  Lunch reading was slow going, so I decided to take it home and try and give it a longer at a time reading stretch. Unfortunately, that did not work out, as I needed to excuse myself for a two-day hospital stay. I did […]
