Lingerie For Felons by Ros Baxter #Review
PJV Quickie: The first few chapters of Lingerie For Felons didn’t exactly wow me. I guess I just wasn’t sure what to expect. What I was expecting was the typical romance novel, but that’s not what it was at all. Sure, there was a great romance there, under the surface; the main driving force, however, was the journey Lola went on to find out who she truly was. Once I realized that, I began to enjoy the story a lot more. Review What can I say about the protagonist, Lola? At time […]

A Death Struck Year author Makiia Lucier Guest Post
TIPS FOR AVOIDING SPANISH INFLUENZA (Or so they thought) When Spanish Influenza struck the U.S. in 1918, no one was prepared for it. Not only were its origins a mystery, but there was something different about this version of flu. For one thing, it did not target babies and the elderly, as was typical, but healthy young men and women in the prime of their lives. And it didn’t just force people into bed for a week before vanishing. Spanish Flu killed, very fast. Scientists worked round the clock […]

#Review: Queen of Hearts: Volume 1 – The Crown (The Queen of Hearts Saga #1) by Colleen Oakes
PJV Quickie: The most important thing I can tell you about QUEEN OF HEARTS is that it is a re-visioning, an adaptation, of Alice in Wonderland, which is probably more than obvious to anyone who has ever read that book or seen a film/tv adaptation. I love Alice, and I love adaptations of it because Wonderland is such a fantastic place I love to see how different authors interpret the world, the story and the characters. QUEEN OF HEARTS by Colleen Oakes didn’t live completely up to my high ideal f […]
Nomad by JL Bryan #Review
PJV Quickie: NOMAD is about a girl so desperate to avoid a dystopian future that she time-travels to current day America. From the characters to the plot, NOMAD is unlike anything I have read. I highly recommend it to time-traveling fans who like their heroine with more attitude than lovers. No love triangle or silly YA tropes here! Review: The pink-hair heroine on the front cover caught my attention, but it was JL Bryan’s writing that sold me on NOMAD’s time traveling story. C […]
The Faceless One by Mark Onspaugh #Review
PJV Quickie: Unlike many horror novels, THE FACELESS ONE sacrifices a quick pace to focus on the characters and story. The horror derives not from the killing itself but from the anticipating of the inevitable deaths. Review: THE FACELESS ONE is a much slower pace horror novel than what I usually read and it’s interesting that the villain of the novel doesn’t technically do the killing. The villain, an uprooted god from the Gulf of Alaska, was one of many carefully guarded secrets of shamans […]
