I picked up this book from Waterstones in Brussels because like so many others the cover caught my attention. The blurb further intrigued me with how the reader appears to have a part in the mystery solving. This is the first book by Janice Hallett and is in the form of an epistolary novel. This …

Book Review: Star Wars: Heir to the Empire – Timothy Zahn
I first discovered this book in college when "Star Wars: The Clone Wars" show was all the rage but like so many others it languished on my TBR pile for quite a while. I don't know what prompted me to pick up this book recently but I'm so glad I did. Heir to the Empire …

Book Review: Thor – The Saga of Gorr the God Butcher – Jason Aaron
The new Thor movie “Thor: Love and Thunder” introduced the character of Gorr to the MCU. While this portrayal by Christian Bale was different from the Gorr in the comics, this didn’t come as much of a surprise since the MCU is a different timeline as compared to the comic variant. That being said when …

Book Review: The Terminal List – Jack Carr
Another book I picked up because of a trailer seen online. The Terminal List is an upcoming show on amazon prime video starring Chris Pratt and, of course, its based off a book. Like my earlier review of The Gray Man, Terminal List is another book that a lot of action fans will love. The …
Book Review: The Gray Man – Mark Greaney
I watched the trailer for the movie 'The Gray Man' on youtube the other day and I wondered if this was based off a book. A quick google search gave me the answer and I soon found myself reading the novel of the same name. The book is the first in a series of novels …
Book Review: Dark Nights Metal
This is the first Batman graphic novel I’ve read in a long time. The team of Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo return after their impresive Batman new 52 run. I heard quite a bit about this at the time of its release in 2017. The story revolves around a very interesting premise involving the multiverse …
Book Review: Kings of the Wyld
I remember seeing this book in passing but didn’t pick it up because, going by the cover, I assumed it was some dark fantasy/horror related story (yes, I judged a book by its cover). I was way off base in that it wasn’t really dark, nor was it from the horror genre. Its definitely fantasy …
Book Review: The Paris Detective (Detective Luc Moncrief #1-3) – James Patterson & Richard DiLallo
I should start this by saying that I picked this up because the title made me think of a Hercule Poirot or Armand Gamache type protagonist. What I got instead was a young mix between Poirot and Jacques Clouseau, leaning towards the latter. This book, though interesting at times, was a little disappointing. It feels …
