Vampires in Fiction II
I thought I’d have another go at this topic since the last one was so well-liked, and since I have more to say about vampires. These undead creatures (people?) have gone from stone-cold horror villains in Bram Stoker’s Dracula to hot and mysterious love interests in the more modern-day books like The Vampire Diaries and…

Review: Midnight Sun
The Twilight Saga Companion Novel: Midnight Sun by Stephenie Meyer This book annoys me slightly, only because, though it’s hardcover, it’s slightly taller than the rest of the books I have in the series. Why do people do that? Make books of the same series in different sizes? Paperbacks vs hardcovers, I understand, but to…

Review: Breaking Dawn
The Twilight Saga book 4: Breaking Dawn by Stephenie Meyer This is the last official book of the Twilight Saga, but I still have the companion novel Midnight Sun to read after this. After that, I’ll watch all the movies; I’ve been avoiding watching then so as not to affect my impression of the books.…

Review: Claws of Midgard
Claws of Midgard by Des M. Astor 3 stars – Okay, But Not My Style Once again on the hunt for new content to review for indie authors, I turned to a website for ARC readers. I filtered to Young Adult Fantasy “to be released” and found this book. Since I like Norse mythology, I…

Review: Dracula
Dracula by Bram Stoker 4 stars – I liked it, it was good This book is one my friend Jakob and I promised we’d read together over the summer of 2022. We never really got around to it, but I still managed to start it before the summer ended. I started reading on September 15,…

Review: City of Glass
