But when led to help up-and-coming actor David Styles, Andra’s presence seems to be more curse than blessing.

M. Langlinais liked Richard Jackson's review of How to Write a Murder: "Almost a DNF. After reading some of the reviews that rated this book higher than I did I am glad they enjoyed so much. I just didn't get it, I guess. It seemed too convoluted to me. I have to admit that I did enjoy how the characters reacted to disco" Read more of this review »

M. Langlinais liked Missie Wolfe's review of Yesteryear: "So much promise (and hype) with this story, and it did not deliver. It had the potential to explore really important cultural themes like patriarchy, the misogyny of evangelical Christianity, female competition and expectation, etc. But instead those" Read more of this review »

M. Langlinais and 1 other person liked Aimee Swayne's review of Yesteryear: "I loved it at the beginning but by the end I didn’t. I wanted to just finish it and then when I did was disappointed by the ending .. a lot I didn’t think was plausible and I was left asking more questions. Not one for me. "
