Twisted Minds 2 reviews Hilary Norman
Piatkus Books, 2002
Keep in Mind Existing Offspring When Considering Marriage
+ A completely engaging read!
This is the second Hilary Norman book I have read and it certainly won't be the last. It was a bit predictable in parts especially the final chapter and it was unnecessarily long in certain parts that a bit of editing could have fixed up but that does not diminish from the fact that it is a great ...

Earthbound 2 reviews Logan Swanson
Playboy Mass Market Paperbacks, 1982
Reading Earthbound Restored My Faith in Humanity
Why this criminally-overlooked novel continues to languish in obscurity and be denied the attenion accorded to works of lesser caliber is beyond me. Quite simply, this is a work that represents our age, distilling the angst of modern man in flawless, crystalline prose. I almost popped a nut. Buy it ...

On the Warpath 1 review Gerald Hammond
Severn House Publishers, 2006
When You've Got a Problem and No One Else Can Help, Call on Super Gran!
Most people's grandmas are sweet and kind old ladies but defenceless and vulnerable. Not so Helen Mercier, a legend of the French Resistance in World War II. She knew where to place the knife in a German soldier rapist, after the war she became an excellent journalist, reporting from the world's ...

Doctor Who and Warriors' Gate (Number 71 in the Doctor Who Library) 3 reviews John Lydecker
W.H. Allen, 1983
The book explains all
+ Not Free SF Reader + Adventure in a non-place
Warriors' Gate is probably the most complex Doctor Who episode made, yet it seemed purposefully crafted to withhold information the viewer needs to understand what's going on. Fortunately, the novelization (actually written by Steve Gallagher) shows his original intent for the story, and ties up ...

Kockroach: A Novel 16 reviews Tyler Knox
William Morrow, 2007
Learning From Insects
+ Akfak + Kockroach
In KOCKROACH, Tyler Knox skillfully combines gangster and noir detective genres along with an inverted take on Kafka's METAMORPHOSIS. In so doing, he creates an often inspired comic novel that examines such enduring philosophical questions as what makes a man a man, a roach a roach, men ...

The Kingdom of Bones: A Novel 6 reviews Stephen Gallagher
Shaye Areheart Books, 2007
A depth not often found in thrillers
+ Review by Mirella Patzer - Historical Fiction Author + "Your business is yours. I can see that this is dark country."
Love can be the most wondrous force in our lives, or the mechanism of our worst nightmare. Regrettably, we can't choose who we love, even when the object of our desire might be the cause of our ultimate destruction. Spanning nearly two decades, from the late 1800s to the early 1900s, THE KINGDOM OF ...

The Trophy Wife 22 reviews Diana Diamond
St. Martin's Paperbacks, 2001
The trophy for best kidnapper goes to......
This is a pretty good thriller which is extremely exciting in the scenes with Emily and her tormentors. If the book was all like this it would have been five stars in rating easily but the lengthy scenes with Walter and other secondary characters do drag on from time to time giving the book a ...

Angel from Hell 1 review Christopher Nicole
Severn House Publishers, 2006
Just as Good as the Jessica Jones Series
Angel From Hell is a sensational novel with a surprise ending which you do have to think about to realise what it implies. It also has Christopher Nicole putting himself into the story in the intro and final paragraph as the novelist interviewing the now very old Anna Fehrbach who insists on ...
