Review: War Song: Legacy Rising (The Price of Power #0.5) by Michael Michel

February 28, 2024 by C. J. Daley (CJDsCurrentRead) Leave a Comment

Synopsis Admar’s future is a path paved with broken glass. Each step forward living under Scothean tyranny cuts away another piece of his humanity. Right down to the very bone. But even a meager life as a miner is better than a pointless death. A sister, a mother, a lover, all lost at the uncaring […]

An Intro to Indie Fantasy For Those Wondering Where to Start

February 27, 2024 by C. J. Daley (CJDsCurrentRead) Leave a Comment

The idea for this came to me several months ago, probably during the latest flair up of “indie/self pub is inferior” or something similar. The point of which is not to argue, but to highlight some writers that are either underrated, or great examples of where to start with indie fantasy. My original idea was […]

Review: We Are the Origin (Wrath of the Gods #1) by C. M. Lockhart

February 25, 2024 by C. J. Daley (CJDsCurrentRead) Leave a Comment

Synopsis She was a shadow. Forced into a life of serving the queendom before she was old enough to deny them, Brandi was a cultivator of death and the queen’s own blade, reserved only for the disloyal and the blasphemous. Crafted by the queendom and forged in blood, she was nothing more than a tool. […]

Series Spotlight: The Walking Dead by Robert Kirkman, Tony Moore, & Charlie Adlard

February 24, 2024 by C. J. Daley (CJDsCurrentRead) Leave a Comment

For starters, I was not an original reader of the series. I’m not huge on comics typically, and because I like to read a lot, and in chunks, I normally just don’t connect with the shorter form. However, as a huge fan of the show, I decided to give them a go, and I went […]

Review: Shattered Spirits: The Fall of Ishcairn by Cal Black

February 23, 2024 by C. J. Daley (CJDsCurrentRead) Leave a Comment

Synopsis Legends say a dead god is buried under the stone city of Ishcairn, protecting its inhabitants by dashing enemy fleets into the jagged coast of Craeburn. Adjunct professor Corrie Ecksley doesn’t believe any of that, but she knows from her work excavating nearby burial sites that the ancient Craeburn people believed it enough to […]

Series Spotlight: the MEG (1-6)+ by Steve Alten

February 21, 2024 by C. J. Daley (CJDsCurrentRead) Leave a Comment

The majority of these were included free with an audible subscription last year. I had seen the first Meg movie, and I am a huge fan of sharks, so I grabbed these up and decided to give them a listen. I remember countless hours spent just absorbing everything I could during the annual Shark Week, […]

The image above is for the beautiful and somewhat new illustrated hardcovers from Orbit Books. Which, unfortunately, I do not own yet, but feel a devastating desire for.

Series Spotlight: Dexter (#1-8)+ by Jeff Lindsay

February 15, 2024 by C. J. Daley (CJDsCurrentRead) Leave a Comment

I’ll start by saying that I haven’t read these since 2019, however it is one of the series I find myself thinking over the most. I was of the tribe that watched the show first, and honestly at the time, this kind of novel wasn’t really my thing, so hats off to Michael C. Hall’s […]
