Book Review – God of Fury by Rina Kent
In search of something to read that would rival Song of Achilles, I went with the internet’s recommendation of Rina Kent’s novel, God of Fury. Apparently it’s one of many in her “God’s of” series, but this featured a more stand alone couple that would not require any previous interactions with the series.

Riley Sager’s new book, With a Vengeance, kind of snuck up on me! Which is actually pretty stupid given that he’s released a new book in June for the past several years.

I was only trying to fool myself when I said I was going to bake other books in between Rou Bao Bu Chi Rou’s Case File: Compendium novels. Knowing that a fifth book is due out the second week of the month was enough for me to move straight onto the next novel.

A new bookstore in town finally sold me on reading my first manga! A good cover and an enticing blurb are all it really takes for me and Rou Bao Bu Chi Rou managed to get me hook, line, and sinker with her manga novel, Case File Compendium.

At my local and brand new Barnes & Noble, I was walking around checking out covers and titles, when Eric LaRocca’s newest novel caught my eye. With a name like At Dark, I Become Loathsome, and a distorted devil-like creature gracing the cover, how could I not be intrigued?
