‘Consuming Fire’ Completely Consumed Me

‘Consuming Fire’ Completely Consumed Me

  When it comes to my experience reading Consuming Fire: An Alexa Silven Novel by C.B. Hoffmann, I should probably start at the very beginning. The first sentence of this enticing novel reads, “She was accustomed to coming here; she was an assassin embroiled in a sultry web of blackmail and deceit.” Well, that did it for me. For one […]

A Hard-Core, Fast-Paced Autobiography by One of Punk’s Biggest Legends

Hard-Core Life of My Own has a somewhat intimidating title and an even more intimidating front cover. Abiding by the withstanding adage about book covers (you know the one—say it with me: you can’t judge a book by its cover), I didn’t let that deter me from devouring the content within.

The Genie Hunt Puts A Supernatural Twist On The Usual Mystery Novel

The Genie Hunt Puts A Supernatural Twist On The Usual Mystery Novel

I took one look at the cover of “The Genie Hunt“ by M.C. Tuggle and decided I was going to start reading it during the day, when it was nice and bright out.
