Taxi Ghost by Sophie Escabasse

October 16, 2024 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I had been interested in Taxi Ghost by Sophie Escabasse for a while. I lost my online reader copy, so I went to the library instead. It still looked interesting, but also looking more closely at the cover I thought it also looked like it was going to be an odd book. The ghosts are in the car, the main character out front, standing there like she’s the best driver in the world, and ready for adventures. Well it turns out that she might not […]

Sequel as good as the first if not better

Witches of Brooklyn: What the Hex?! (A Graphic Novel) by Sophie Escabasse

October 13, 2021 by BlackRaven 4 Comments

Witches of Brooklyn: What the Hex?! (A Graphic Novel) by Sophie Escabasse is the sequel to the Witches of Brooklyn Volume one. This is a delightful little story that flows well. For the adult reader, it is easy and will take no time to read. Yet, the ages 8 to 13 will be the perfect group to savor every piece. This story is a familiar one about friends and envy, but with the addition of fun, kooky aunts, their equally fun, kooky friends, an oddball pet, […]

Fly My Pretties! Oh wait, wrong witch…. !

Witches of Brooklyn by Sophie Escabasse

December 21, 2020 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Witches of Brooklyn is more of a 3.5 review and not 3. This is because it was not an “OMG LOVE!” nor was it, “OMG HATE!” read. There is a lot going on, but at the same time it is an easy story to follow. Good guys are good, bad guys are … well there are not “bad guys” just one spoiled pop-princess and people with no sense of visiting at decent hours of the day or night (depending on what you consider 1 AM). […]
