Highland Soldiers 1 – The Enemy: A Review

I picked up a copy of this romance novel when I noticed it was free on Amazon and offered to review it for the author. As the cover suggests this is a pretty typical Highlander romance story. Normally I find romances a little difficult to read as I want more to the plot than a [...]

Lucy: A Review

This film was one of those I’d not even heard of until the trailor came up before Guardians of the Galaxy at the cinema. It looked interesting so when I had a spare evening and noticed it was on I went to see it. I already knew that the original premise of the brain only [...]

Geek of Legend – The Elvish Screwdriver: A Review

I found this book was written by the same pen name as one of the Konrath challenge books and noticed it was free for a while so I grabbed a copy. This is a really cute little book that starts with an IT tech’s interview at a new job. He has no idea that the [...]

Angel of the Sands: Part 13

You shake your head and look down. You cannot accept his proposal when you know so little about him. At first you worry that he might not react well to the rejection but after a few seconds he shrugs and picks up his chalice. “No matter. It was worth my asking. Either way you shall [...]

The Citizen: A Review

This is an ebook I was given by the author, Matthew McCollum in return for my review. This is a shorter novel told in first person present, which is handled well throughout the book, and a sort of conspiracy spy sort of story.  The main character is on the run from the goernment and the [...]
