Fairy Tales and Nightmares: Nine Fairy Tale Retellings by A.F. Stewart My rating: 5 of 5 stars This was an outstanding dark take on classic fairy tales! I ate it right up and enjoyed every last second of it. AF Stewart has a knack for leaving enough of the fairy tales intact to tell what […]

Bel-Ami by Guy de Maupassant My rating: 5 of 5 stars Published in 1885 and translated into English in 1903, Bel Ami is one of those books that would have been sneered at as a “novel” (said with utmost disdain) when first released. It’s Maupassant’s second and one of his more popular works, especially after […]

We Need to Talk About Kevin by Lionel Shriver My rating: 5 of 5 stars This book blew me away for several reasons. 1. The writing style. When I first started reading, I found it pretentious and overdone, but actually it was deep within the character’s voice. The whole book is narrated in letter format […]

A Light in the Darkness by Kevin E. Hatt My rating: 5 of 5 stars I truly enjoyed this book for all of its many facets – crime, drama, friendship, a touch of romance, intrigue, sparks of humor – all wrapped in quintessential British flavor. Author Kevin Hatt wound the life of Haszard, the main […]
