The Cat’s Maw Book One of The Shadowland Saga by Brooke Burgess This book has cats, what more does it need? Okay, so maybe a good story. Guess what, it has that too. This is the story of Billy Brahm and the strange and terrible things that happen to him. Billy is a 10 year [… read more]
I wanted to like The Elder Scrolls Online and I am sure I would have had the game been just a game and not this MMO online crap (not that they are all crap it is just I cannot afford to play them). Loved Skyrim so I thought what the heck I will give it a [… read more]

Deviation, book two in The Clone Chronicles, is very good story that could (and does) stand alone, but goes well when read together with book one (Imitation). Deviation definitely shows the authors growth in the series and completes the story the book one left hanging. Pleasantly surprised at how this book kept me reading to [… read more]
