Curse of the Specter Queen Review
This is such a good book. Such a good book that the first thing I have to tell you in this review is that if you enjoy the action of Indiana Jones, the occult and humor of The Mummy and the cool explorations and fun tidbits of the Amelia Peabody series. I know I just…

The Winter Soldier: Cold Front Review
Unlike Loki and Gamora, I have very little knowledge of Bucky Barnes outside of fans think he’s hot and he’s in a psuedo mentor-romantic relationship with Captain America much like Batman and Robin.

Dark Ascension: The Wicked Ones Review
This new series brings readers the origin stories of some of Disney’s most notorious villains. Okay, they already have several books focusing on this topic but Benway’s book is more focused on a canonical reasoning for how the Tremine sisters became the ugly steps they are.

Ranking Gallagher Girls
1. Out of Sight, Out of Time: One of the things I most admire about this series is that it allows Cammie and the other characters grow, maturing with the plots growing increasingly dark as they grow.
