Best of 2025

My latest novel, "Text Chain," made it onto someone's Best Books of 2025 list. So I've got that going for me. Which is nice. https://donnacummingsbooks.com/blog/s...

This was a long read, and I wonder if it could be better if it was split into two books, but end the end, it delivered a good climax and cliffhanger. The premise of the book was compelling and I think fans of paranormal romance will like it more than ...more

I'm not the biggest fantasy reader, but I do love a book with a map (and also runes!). Aurum is a really solid adventure that I genuinely think all ages would enjoy. It's got elements of LOTR, plus D&D, and maybe even a little Harry Potter. Good char ...more

This is a really solid WW2 drama. I liked the early meeting between the two main characters - Derrick and Ernst, one British, one German - and enjoyed how the rest of the story jumps back and forth between the two. It was a well-designed, well-struct ...more

This is a good homesteading adventure set in the Canadian Rockies. To me, the most appealing part was just seeing how tough their daily life was, making food, fixing things, raising kids, all of it was a challenge. Throw in harsh winters, dangerous s ...more

This is a fascinating and entertaining sequel to Deep Earth Invasion. Just like the 1st book, this one is a fascinating mix of sci fi and real-world science. In the first book, I loved how Carroll brought fracking into the story, and in this sequel, ...more

This was a fun, quick read. There's a lot of humor, some mystery, some love, some this, some that. It's the "this and that" which might be the problem. Though it was a fun book, at times it felt a little overstuffed, like there was a bit too much goi ...more

This is a quick read and has a lot of potential, but in the end feels incomplete. I thought it started strong, the characters were good and the premise believable, but at a certain point, the story got repetitive, and then it ended a bit to quickly. ...more
