• Daylight on Iron Mountain is book number 2 of the Chung Kuo series by David Wingrove. At first, I didn’t have intentions to read the second of book in the series upon just completing the first. However, I grew tired of deciding what to actually read next and so I got Daylight on Iron Mountain.…

  • Son of Heaven by David Wingrove is the first book in a whopping 20 of the Chung Kuo series set to be released through 2015. Know how they always say don’t judge a book by its cover? Well, I broke that sacred rule here. Upon glancing at Son of Heaven, I immediately was drawn in…

  • 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…

  • The Alloy of Law by Brandon Sanderson is a novel twist/sequel based on his claim to fame (at least to me it was), the Mistborn trilogy series. I’ve just finished writing the review for Elantris a few days ago and I said that it seems it impossible for the author to disappoint me. Well, I…

  • Elantris by Brandon Sanderson is the sixth fantasy book I’ve read from this author and never once has he disappointed me. Well, he’s not about to start with Elantris. This guy just has a gift to create beautiful fantasy worlds but not only that, he knows how to tell a damn good story to go…

  • Blood Ties by Lori G. Armstrong is the first in her Julie Collins detective series and its a damn good one! Rounding out at about just 373 pages, I found myself deeply engaged in the book and surprisingly, it’s not due to the mystery plot line! The character of Julie Collins is very interesting and…

  • Tigana by Guy Gavriel Kay is a stand-alone fantasy book that tells the tale of a group of characters trying to dethrone two separate tyrants who have taken over their land. It’s a very engrossing story and not really suitable for readers who expect a lot of action in a book. It is however written…

  • The Black Ice by Michael Connelly is the second book in the Harry Bosch series. After being blown away with the introduction of cop detective Harry Bosch in The Black Echo, I just can’t help but feel that the author is experiencing the “sophomore slump”. The story in The Black Ice screams mediocre and it…

  • While We’re Far Apart by Lynn Austin will definitely be considered as a boring book by many who judge a book only after reading a couple of chapters but for those who actually invest their time and energy to it, they will find it all worthwhile in the end. This book is emotional and will…
