Mary Poppins Opens the Door is the third book in the Mary Poppins series; click here to read my reviews of Mary Poppins and Mary Poppins Comes Back.This is another wonderful addition to the Mary Poppins series! In fact, I'd venture to say that this one might be one of the better ones. Mary Poppins is a bit more Disney-esque in this one than she was in the previous two: a little softer and nicer. I truly enjoyed all the...
What kind of murder mystery starts out with the full knowledge of the identity of the person who pulls the trigger? The obvious answer is that it has to involve magic of some sort. This is one of the elements of this gripping tale of love, murder, family and magic by Chrysler Szarlan in the book The Hawley Book of the Dead.The story begins with the glitz and glam setting of Las Vegas and a husband and wife magic show. They are enjoying...
I was quite disappointed with this fourth and final book of the Sapient Salvation series. What started off as a good story in book one and two, turned into a mediocre and predictable ending. I felt rushed throughout the book and like I was being led nowhere.The characters, while we see emotions control most of their actions, never mature or evolve. Maya remains the innocent and timid girl we met in the beginning. While the authors would have us believe...

Hello! I was super excited to receive an advance copy of a chapter from Ransom Riggs' forthcoming novel, Tales of the Peculiar. It is going to be a sort of companion to the Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children trilogy. If you've read those books, then you've met the peculiar children: children who have some sort of supernatural feature. Maybe they're invisible, or levitate, or eat their supper with the mouth...

It is no secret that I love a good anthology. After all, there is no better way to get introduced to a new (or new to you) book series or author. Most often there is good variety in these gems of literature and most of those times the good out ways the bad significantly. In the book Hex Appeal by P. N. Elrod, it is pretty much an even split between the good and the so-so stories.This collection of stories centers around the use...
I have mixed feelings about this book. I usually like all dystopian books I read, but lately I've been disappointed. Aberrant is similar to The Hunger Games, A Brave New World and Divergent, but at least it's different enough to make it original. Early in the book, we learn that the main character Olivia is different from everyone else, being the first and only baby to be conceived naturally in generations. In a world where...

What do you get when you combine Clint Eastwood with Han Solo and Captain Kirk? Probably something closely resembling Ichabod Drift, captain of The Keiko, privateering ship in Mike Brooks new space opera Dark Run. This tale combines elements of the American old west, pirates of the high seas and of course space travel.This is a book that relies heavily on the characters in it. We spend most of our time with...
My Lady Jane is definitely an original take on the historical novel. The authors took many liberties while writing this book. They more or less rewrote history and romanticized the short reign of Lady Jane Grey. It's full of satire, whimsy and witty dialogue. While the concept of shapeshifters in Tudor England and the situations the characters find themselves in are absurd, the whole thing simply works!Lady Jane is a wonderful character....

One thing I look forward to when a new book by a new author comes out is the possibility of a new magic system to explore. In Reliquary by Sarah Fine, we get introduced to one of the more unique systems of magic. Some are practitioners and some are merely sensitivesThis is a story brought to us through the eyes of our main character, Mattie Carver. She's a young lady who has her life planned to perfection and we all know...
I'm not the first reviewer here on the blog to discuss Charley Davidson books. Actually, Lili reviewed and was "Daring You to Read..." this very book a few years back. I don't know why I waited so long to get into this series, but I'm really glad I did. First Grave on the Right is hilarious, fun and witty.I think it's a perfect book to listen to as an audiobook. To be honest, this was the first audiobook I ever listened to in its entirety....
