And you're probably wondering, why now?? Well, I just found my reviews, that's why. Duh!
Killing Fear by Allison Brennan. Good
Edge by Jeffery Deaver. Excellent. I'm beginning to think he hasn't written anything mediocre.
Dragon Fire
by Humphrey Hawksley. Tolerable. But it made me laugh to see he has a
Dixit as the CM of Andrah Pradesh, who has also, at some time (wait for
it!), been the Health Minister in Assam. Rotfl unbelievable. There are
other goofs, too.
Midway through The Mammoth Book of Short Horror Novels
edited by Mike Ashley. Fortunately, with happy endings, so my initial
trepidation has been assuaged somewhat (I'm no longer a teenager, so
horror stories without happy endings are not so easily brushed off these
days). So far, I've read The Monkey by Stephen King, Parasite by Arthur Conan Doyle, The Damned by Algernon Blackwood.
Temporarily abandoned this in favour of The Orc King
by RA Salvatore. I'm most bugged with this book's publishers. I picked
it up because it clearly says on the cover Book 1 of Transitions so I
was reassured I'm starting at the beginning; but then, it seems the main
character has already starred in another 13 books in another
series. Cheating! Cheating! But Todd Lockwood has painted a wonderfully
evocative cover, and I have a quote for you: "I have heard it said that
the universal hope of the world is that our children will find a better
life than we." I'll live. I'll also post if I'm going to be reading any
more books in this or other RAS series.
