Once again, Ballantine delivers with an exciting sequel to her Book of the Order series. First off, this swashbuckling sequel dives right into the story instead of introducing everything (as was the case with Geist). I was […]

I’ll admit, the back cover blurb for The Syndicate sounded interesting to me, but it wasn’t my genre choice so I wasn’t sure how much I would enjoy the novel. I have no complaints about the writing.

The first time I read it (yes, I did reread it), I thought there wasn’t enough background-plenty of action and adventure, but not enough supporting details. When I […]

This book was provided by the authors for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. Right from the beginning, I was hesitant about reading Vibrational Passage, a “cross between suspense, sci-fi and conspiracy thriller fiction” according to the authors. I enjoy reading science fiction, however not thrillers or suspense novels but I […]
Well, how about those characters?: I liked the characters a lot. But there were a few personality traits that I just didn’t like at all. Patch was very stalkerish and creepy. I didn’t mind it too much but there were occasions that it came through a little too strong. Nora, on the other hand, just annoyed me at times. She acts like she’s a complete […]
