  • Among Thieves by Douglas Hulick is the first entry in the Tale of Kin fantasy series. Being a new author, I’m sure there are a ton of pressure to make a good first impression. If you fail to capture the audience attention, they may not come back the second time around and so it’s imperative…

  • The Emperor’s Knife by Mazarkis Williams is the first book in the Tower and Knife trilogy. Now, I’ve always believed that assassins in a fantasy setting goes really well together if done correctly. Besides, who doesn’t love reading about deadly and silent killers of the night?

  • Hallowed Ground by Lori Armstrong is the second book in the Julie Collin’s detective series and boy is it a good one! I’ve had my quirks about the first book in the series, Blood Ties, but still came away enjoying the book a whole lot. Hallowed Ground continues the adventures of private investigator Julie Collins…

  • The Deputy by Victor Gischler is a fun and wacky (in a good kind of way) adventure of a book. It’s probably not going to be noticed by a lot of people or to the media but if you’re looking for a quick read that is easy to follow along and won’t scramble your brains…
