Blackwulf By: Glenn Herdling & Angela Medina

This had promise as a new hero, so I have no idea why I stopped with just the first volume. It['s an interesting origin story, pitting brother against brother against father.


 

X-Men Classic #59 By: Chris Claremont, Dave Cockrum & Bob Wiacek


The X-Men reluctantly team up with Corsair to find Lilandra who has been kidnapped. A lot of action on this one.

X-Men Clasic #57 By: Chris Claremont, Dave Cockrum & Josef Rubinstein

One of my all time favorite issues.  It's Kitty telling a story to Colossus' sister.  And what a delightful, swashbuckling story it is! This is just a sweet and endearing issue!


 

X-Men Classic #55 By: Chris Claremont, Jim Sherman, Bob McLeod & Josef Rubinstein


I know that comic books are like soaps-you have to get the next issue for the continuing story-there's always some sort of cliff hanger but this particular volume is all set up and not a lot of action until the very end. 

Classic X-Men #13 By: Chris Claremont, Dave Cockrum, Bob Layton & John Bolton

After reading a number of large, heavy subject, literary tomes, it was time to revist my comic book collection and just relax!  Phoenix Unleashed was a great trip down memory lane with the X-Men battling Eric the Red and  Firelord!


 

The Starless Sea By: Erin Morgenstern

Holy merde-this was quite a trip! Stories within stories about stories plus a little space time coninuum thrown in for some extra fun!  Morgenstern manages to keep the many plot lines, characters and times clear and moving in this not to be missed storytelling ride!

Tell Me What You Did By: Carter Wilson

Wow-super creepy! This suspenseful thriller is fascinating, not just in the unique plot devices, but the moral implications of this who done it (and why they done it)!  If you're looking for a twist filled thriller to keep you guessing and on the edge of your seat, then this is the book for you!

The Bishop's Pawn By: Steve Berry


Even though it's the 13th book in the Cotton Malone series, it contains the origin of Cotton's involvement with Stephanie and the DOJ.  Full of fantastic action sequences and moments of pathos and moving passes, The Bishop's Pawn is vintage Berry.  Full of his trademark history and twists and turns, this one has truly jaw-dropping moment toward the end!

Murderer By: Anthony Shaffer

What a bizarre play!!  The opening scene alone is beyond creepy, but it definitely grabs the audiences attention and doesn't let go until the very end.  This piece is not for the faint of heart, but it is endlessly fascinating, despite the gore!

Finders Keepers By: Stephen King


A fantastic follow-up to Mr. Mercedes!  I have to admit, Holly and Jerome are my favorite characters in this series! Another great mystery from the master!  King ramps up the tension in this one running storylines on parallel tracks until the collide near the end and the reader's blood pressure ramps up!  A truly creepy ending to this one!
