Book Tour: Shadow Shinjuku by Ryu Takeshi

October 12, 2021 by David W 6 Comments

Shadow Shinjuku is a Japanese crime thriller and Ryu Takeshi’s first published novel. It is so interesting that the synopsis mentions noir, as well, because that was the vibe I got while reading it. I found the combination of urban fantasy, crime noir, and thriller to be fascinating. The book also has some supernatural elements, too, so it is hard to nail this book down to one genre.

Winterset Hollow by Jonathan Edward Durham

October 11, 2021 by David W 2 Comments

Synopsis Everyone has wanted their favorite book to be real, if only for a moment. Everyone has wished to meet their favorite characters, if only for a day. But be careful in that wish, for even a history laid in ink can be repaid in flesh and blood, and reality is far deadlier than fiction […]

Review: The Watchers by A. M. Shine

October 11, 2021 by David W 1 Comment

The Watchers is the fantastic, heart-thumping, page-turning debut from A. M. Shine that really left me no choice but to keep reading – to finish the tale at a pace, running from the shrieks in the night. This book gave me major Cabin in the Woods x Lost vibes: feels like they’re in limbo somewhere. The mystery is different, strange, because there’s rules and they know what hunts them … they just can’t see them at all. There’s but one warning for you before you read on, reader: Stay in the light.

Recommended Reading: Dragons of Terra by Brian Naslund

October 8, 2021 by David W Leave a Comment

I had been putting off reading Brian Naslund’s Dragons of Terra series until it was finished because I was afraid once I started reading it I would not want to stop. I had heard it was absolutely addictive, plus adventure fantasy is my favorite, and also, well, you know, dragons, so I was not interested in waiting a year for book 2, and another year for book 3. And I could not have been more right in that decision. Had I had time between books it would have driven me absolutely bonkers. This is the kind of series that makes me want to shout from the rooftops… *ahem*… let me clear my throat:

READ IT NOW!

Now that the yelling is out of the way, let’s get to the details of what makes this series so good.

Review: In The Land of Boxes by Kim Hebert

October 5, 2021 by David W Leave a Comment

In conclusion, I don’t read kids’ books often since mine are all grown up, but if you’re searching for children’s literature with a great moral story, Kim Hebert’s In the Land of Boxes should be on your buy list or on your kid’s nightstand.
