Three Assassins by Kotaro Isaka is a novel set in modern Japan revolving around, well, assassins. It’s billed as a quirky and fun read but I was left fairly underwhelmed. With so much hype surrounding the author’s previous novel, Bullet Train, which sees it getting turned into a major motion picture movie, I had high…

DISCLAIMER: I did not complete the book and have stopped at the 60% mark. Fairy Tale by Stephen King is his latest dark fantasy novel. I was not able to stomach the rest of the 40% to mark this novel under my completed list. I just couldn’t do it. To surprise myself, I did not…

All the Lies They Did Not Tell by Pablo Trincia is an investigative journey that tries to make sense of the phenomenon that triggered multiple kids to be separated from their birth parents and had their lives forever changed. It is based on true events that occurred in the 90’s around Italy. Ever wondered if…

How High We Go in the Dark by Sequoia Nagamatsu is a tragic novel that weaves many stories and characters together through time. The bleak setting leaves the world in a somewhat dystopian state and it doesn’t help that the majority of the stories throughout each chapter are just as depressing as the previous one…

Dead Silence by S.A. Barnes is a horror sci-fi novel in space that is being compared if the Titanic meets The Shining. Fans of claustrophobic horror settings will definitely want to give this a look. However, this just didn’t hit it for me. While I’m no longer scared as I was once of ghosts and…

Powers and Thrones: A New History of the Middle Ages by Dan Jones is what I’d consider a “brief” tour of a period in civilization historians have coined the Middle Ages. Although this book consists of almost 650+ pages, it’s just nigh high impossible to fit every single detail of every single event that occurred…

The Book of Cold Cases by Simone St. James is a standalone crime and mystery novel sprinkled with some paranormal activity. Goodreads was celebrating Mystery & Thriller Week and based on a long list of recommended novels to commemorate the occasion, I had chosen The Book of Cold Cases. I’m glad I did because this…

The Watchers by A.M. Shine is the author’s debut horror novel. The premise of the story got me captivated almost immediately. I’ve always loved stories where humans were hunted or studied by an alien race instead of the other way around. Sadly, if you were in the same category, you’ll be disappointed because this novel…

The Maid by Nita Prose is a heartwarming novel about a hotel maid with a very peculiar outlook on life becoming the prime witness to a mystery murder at the Regency Grand Hotel. To be clear without giving it up, this novel is not your typical “whodunit” type story. This is very different than what…

Wolf’s Head, Wolf’s Heart by Jane Lindskold is the second book in the Firekeeper saga. I had a pretty decent time with Through Wolf’s Eye and was pretty curious to see how the story would progress. I had some expectations but unfortunately, the turn of events happening here in the followup isn’t enough to keep…
