| A fun, highly philosophical view of consciousness and what it means to be truly human. The pseudoscience is a bit thick and unsupported. The tech, its reach, and the stumbling blocks it would present to the heroine tend to be overlooked or only ackno ...more | |

| A fun and twisted ride looking at "what ifs" and "if onlys." Well-paced and nicely written, this time-travel novel kept me entertained. My only issue with it was at the end, when one of the details that had been negated was still embedded in the fina ...more | |

| On an emotional level, the First Witch of Boston is quite gripping. The eventual outcome is known, and we want to watch the train wreck unfold. That being said, the book starts with a massive supernatural event. And that's the only one seen in the en ...more | |

Penny: The Discoveries of Julia Xero Prequel Short:
""Revenge is a dish best served cold."
-- Michael Dorn as Lt. Worf" |

"This was a fantastic little prequel! SHORT, SWEET, AND PACKED WITH HEART.
It tells the origin story of Jacques, the chauffeur and narrator from the Black Jade series. We meet him as a young boy in an orphanage in 1916, and let me tell you, his journey" Read more of this review » |
