The Girl's Guide to The Apocalypse is essentially a satirical tribute to the Millennial Generation. In the wake of a catastrophe that causes all modern technology to fail and disease to spread causing zombie like creatures Verdell becomes the narrator and hero of her own tale. She's luke warm about her long term boyfriend (should she break up with him, or keep him?), her boss is obsessed with a book entitled The Secrets of Risk Management and the world has devolved into a free-for-all cannibal country.

Review: Smoke on The Water
Smoke on the Water is the second installment of the Sisters of the Craft series.

I honestly couldn't remember what series Katy had written, but I was convinced I'd read a title by her before with negative results. Goodreads informs me I haven't actually read anything of hers. Fortunately, I read the novel regardless of the fact that I had misguided negative feelings for Katy Evans and loved Manwhore. "Ruthless, they say. A complete manwhore, they say. And so ambitious he’d put Midas to shame. Oh yeah. They say Saint won’t ... Continue Reading...

He has just as many secrets as the man who hired him to keep watch over his daughter and just as many reasons to keep them to himself. The girl is nothing like Tango expected and slowly he breaks down her walls protecting her from the world. He realizes too late that ... Continue Reading...
