Grave Peril



Grave Peril by Jim Butcher is book three of the Harry Dresden Wizard series. And like the two before it I LOVED it. I was sucked in. And once again found myself almost missing my bus stop because I was sucked into the stories.

This story is about ghosts and vampires. A fast and completely pleasurable read.

The Pillars of the Earth


The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett was a phenomenal read. Don't let the size of the book scare you away. Trust me, as you approach the last few pages you wish it would keep going.

This is a beautiful story that I loved from cover to cover. The characters are wonderful.
Simply put, this is on my all time favorites list.

Deathstalker War

Deathstalker War by Simon R. Green is the third installment in the Deathstalker series. As with the first two it's a wonderful adventure. Fast reading and fast paced. With non-stop action. An all around fun read.

As the books progress the war between the Empress and the rebellion escalates. This book ultimately finishes with the battle on the homeworld with the Empress.

One treat in this book was the appearance of two wonderful characters that are also seen in Simon's book Shadowsfall. I was so stunned and excited I called my friend Ellie early on a Sunday morning to tell her. They were her favorite characters from Shadowsfall so I had to share with her. I figured she was at breakfast with her folks, which she was, and she kindly humored me.

Anyway, if you like well written sci fi adventures you'll love this series.
