The Bastard Is Dead by D’Arcy Kavanagh

I must say that I was not very comfortable with the title of the book and almost did not request it. The storyline promised something different, so I overcame my initial apprehension and picked it up. I still do not like the title but the book, on the other hand, was quite entertaining. Paul Burke…

Forbidden Harbor by Teresa Radice

I have had this book on my virtual shelf for a very long time. Given my tendency to try any graphic novel that looks even mildly interesting, I end up picking up more than I can chew at any given time. One of the main reasons I initially struggled with was the length, I had…

Origami Man (Gibson Vaughn #5) by Matthew FitzSimmons

Narrated by: James Patrick Cronin I've read and reviewed other books in this series before: I am still trying to get the hang of reading and reviewing with my usual routine entirely out of whack. I have high hopes for the following week. Given the chaotic times, we are in now, I was surprised at how…

Don’t Tell Mom About This by Eric Serrell

This book is available on NetGalley till April 2020 This is a tough book to review. I had different reactions at different times of the book and am unsure about how I should phrase my thoughts. To begin with, I must say that I would have loved the book a whole lot more if the…

Con Me Once by J. L. Delozier

The book is available on NetGalley till the 29th of Feb 2020 This book and its contents were not what I was expected and definitely not part of my usual fare. It is a very odd story, and in that light, a delightful one. We meet Frank Lambda, who is a comic book store employee…

Double Cross at the Badlands by Ralf MacGrady

This book would fall under a category that very few of the books I read would. I had issues with the characterisation of certain people, the language and violence described. I should have been unable to read this book. I did and actually liked it, in its own way! The story is based in the…

Crooked Kingdom (The Six of Crows Duology #2) by Leigh Bardugo

I read and reviewed the previous book earlier on the blog: I picked the second instalment a while ago but was unable to read it because I realised I had not done a very good job of reading the first. I liked the first but was not blown away as I had expected and promptly…

Elven Winter (The Saga of the Elven #2) by Bernhard Hennen

Edwin Miles (Translator), Michael Page (Narrator)   I reviewed the previous book above. Using the word 'previous' would be a misnomer of sorts because it turned out to my surprise that the second book is not really a second book. Let me take a breath and explain further.   In the first review (if you do check…
