Zombies, and cops, and religious zealots, Oh My!

Revival: Deluxe Collection, Volume 1 by Tim Seeley

May 1, 2024 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Do you like horror with romance, religion, horrific secrets and one crazy (and dead) poet? Then, you probably should read Revival: Deluxe Collection, Volume 1 (which includes volumes one to eleven). The gore and violence is borderline gratuitous at times and other times goes well over the decency mark. There is sex, drugs and probably some rock and roll (but I was too busy covering my virtual ears from the saw that’s (spoiler) chopping up a body, to notice). If you have any kind of […]

Women Who Kill by Sarah Tanat-Jones

April 16, 2024 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Women Who Kill by Sarah Tanat-Jones has its pros and cons. The biggest cons are the triggers. I took this from another review: use of the words ‘trans*xual’ and ‘transv*stite’ instead of transgender, mentions of rape & sexual abuse, violence, death.  Now I take issue with the use of death as it’s a book about women killers, and therefore, death is implied. However, it is the way that some deaths are mentioned or who the victims were that I am assuming they are referencing.  Afterall, […]

Third Time Isn’t Always A Charm

Teen Killers V03 Teen Killers At Large by Lily Sparks

The Fourth Closet: Five Nights at Freddy’s (Five Nights at Freddy’s Graphic Novel #3) by Christopher Hastings.

March 1, 2024 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I took a two week staycation recently where I was able to read about a dozen books. Some were short, but a few had a little kick to them. Such as Teen Killers At Large V03. The Teen Killers Club series Lily Sparks created a modern day Bonnie and Clyde, with kill switches implanted in the necks of people, hackers, billionaires, rough family dynamics, and a bunch of killers under the age of 18. This novel was probably the weakest of the three only because […]

    I think I outgrew Stephanie Plum, but this sounds great.

    Yeah, it’s a great look at early jazz. Poor guy, but he was definitely not the only one.

    Agree 💯 with this review. I'd even add that I didn't buy Willem's relationship with Jude. It was just a...
