TRIGGER WARNING: War
Whistle in the sky. We run into the hallway and hide.

The crash of breaking windows sounds in ballet class. The teacher looks at us, makes sure everyone is alright, and lets out a breath. “Class is over. Call your folks to take you home.”

Hunter's Hidden Camera by Anthony Auswat presents itself as a psychological thriller, but in reality, it’s a much lighter read than that label might suggest. While there are definitely thriller elements, the story often leans into absurdity in ways th ...more |

It’s pretty common with long-running series to reach a point where the characters start to feel repetitive—especially in romance, where the central conflicts can run out of steam. But Baby, It’s Cold Outside by C. F. White is a clear exception. This i ...more |

I absolutely loved The Tale of Admiral Benbow by D. A. Holdsworth—what a delightful and memorable read! First of all, it’s a full-length rhyming poem, which already makes it stand out. It’s been a long time since I’ve come across such a well-crafted, ...more |

I had mixed feelings about Conflict of Interest by C. G. Macington. It’s one of those books that’s a bit tricky for me to rate, mainly because it falls outside of my usual preferences. I tend to gravitate toward darker, more grounded stories, so this ...more |

Mistress and Mage is one of those books that easily earns five stars, yet feels almost impossible to review concisely because there are so many elements worth discussing. Still, I’ll try. First, this book is a perfect choice for readers who enjoy Rege ...more |

“We are all alone, born alone, die alone, and—in spite of True Romance magazines—we shall all someday look back on our lives and see that, in spite of our company, we were alone the whole way. I do not say lonely—at least, not all the time—but essentially, and finally, alone. This is what makes your self-respect so important, and I don't see how you can respect yourself if you must look in the hearts and minds of others for your happiness.”
― The Proud Highway: Saga of a Desperate Southern Gentleman, 1955-1967
― The Proud Highway: Saga of a Desperate Southern Gentleman, 1955-1967
“Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!”
― The Proud Highway: Saga of a Desperate Southern Gentleman, 1955-1967
― The Proud Highway: Saga of a Desperate Southern Gentleman, 1955-1967
“A man who procrastinates in his choosing will inevitably have his choice made for him by circumstance.”
