Review: Dark Innocence
Dark Innocence by PJ Alexander 3 stars – it was okay, but not my style This is another book that was sampled from an ARC website. Unfortunately, I couldn’t have my computer read it aloud to me as I usually would, seeing that it was only available in mobi or epub instead of pdf, so…

Review: Rise of Magic
Dragonia: Rise of Magic by Craig A. Price Jr. 3 stars – I liked it, but the repeated storyline is getting boring This is book 4 of 5 in the Dragonia series, though this is the last book sent to me for review. I’ve enjoyed reading the books thus far, but I’m not waiting with…
