C.I. DeMann lives in Portland, Oregon, and spends far too much time thinking about sports, music, time travel, and doughnuts.

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 book has two storylines alternating back and forth. The parts about the building and running of the World's Fair was fabulous. The parts about the serial killer, I didn't read at all. I didn't come to this book for true crime. I've got enough ni ...more

This is a solid sci-fi war story. Really cool concept of humans using animal DNA to fight back against insect-like invaders. The action started early and kept up throughout. If you're into sci-fi adventure, I'd recommend this. ...more

This is my third book by Jeri Massi, and they continue to be solid. This one brings us into the lives of school kids, with a good mystery, some Christian undertones, and even a bit of nostalgic fun. Recommended.

I'm not sure how it happened, but this is the 3rd novel I've read about strange discoveries on African mountains. I guess I've got a type, eh? Regardless, I enjoyed this one. Very good adventure, good sense of danger, good mystery, and good writing. ...more

This is my second Massi book and I've liked both. They feel like 1950s pulp science fiction in the very best way. I like the world Massi's created and the cast of characters who move through it. I look forward to more in this series. ...more
The Ask and the Answer by Patrick Ness
"3rd Read

I'll be lying on my deathbed and still refusing to lower my rating on this.

This is fun thriller that feels like a blast from the past. It's sorta like a 50's-era comic book, sorta like an old pulp detective novel, and sorta like an old-timey cliff hanger action movie. I guess the key word in all those comparisons is 'old,' ...more
