Review: Smoke on The Water
Smoke on the Water is the second installment of the Sisters of the Craft series. After many months of build up around the Taggart sisters and the Venatores Mali we finally got to see how the entire story ends. I am actually sad to see this series end. The lack of witchery the Sisters of the Craft series centered around was a breath of fresh air. “I feel as if I know you,” he said. “Better than I can know you. Like I’ve always known you. Like we were … destined.” “We were.” He shook his head, and my chest began to ache. He was going to deny this, deny us, and then ... Continue Reading...

February successfully develops a decent story by melding our reality with time travel. “I’m looking for a ticket back home,” I said, choosing my words carefully. ... Continue Reading...
Review: TAG
TAG is the story of two people who find love in the most obscure circumstances. Its a little different from your average New Adult Romance and that's why this one stands out so resolutely. Tango, an ex-marine superman, has accepted a job to babysit a kid with a bad attitude in an equally bad situation. 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...
