I'm going to judge it from a more general perspective. Did I enj" Read more of this review »

A magical murder-mystery on the heels of the Vampire Marvel event called "Bloodhunt". It has magic (of course), our favorite Doctor and Asgardians! What's not to like? But go read "Blood Hunt" first. Oh, that one has Vampires! (lots of them) ...more

Quotes by C.J. Edmunds (?)

“Most people don’t get their soul mates in their designated lifetime or if ever they do, they let them go. It doesn’t matter to me who you are, who you love, as long as they love you back. That is what’s important. The world seems to have forgotten that and have conducted themselves all based on the concept of love that is both selfish, misguided and outdated. And if the world saw what we see, things would be a whole lot better.”
