Was it Grisham’s best? No, not by a long shot, but there’s something comforting about revisiting familiar stomping grounds. I heard people say the sequel to The Firm was utterly boring, and after reading this book, I have to question peo…

I was pleasantly surprised! I didn’t expect the book to be bad, but with the horror genre evolving the way it has, I just didn’t expect it to be such a nicely packaged story. Then again, wasn’t the first edition published in the 70s? You…

First, let’s credit Adam Lazarre-White with five stars for outstanding narration. I’d never heard him before, but bravo for taking a good story and making it sound phenomenal! The story itself is good, certainly better than average. Hau…

A solid horror read! In the vein of original Stephen King in the way horror was meant to be enjoyed. Don’t let the haunted house trope scare you away. The house is only the launching pad for what promises to be an exciting revisit of wha…

Imagine a novel whose overarching plot is only slightly better than average but whose individual scenes are liquid gold. The way this guy writes about a monster wave chasing a captain on a barge is nothing short of spectacular. I wish he…
