• Book of the Month: 1st to Die

  Well, we return to the formation of theMurder Club and wow, it’s been awhile since I read the book. Awhile but I did remember key parts so the sequence of events and the serial killer reveal wasn’t too big of a surprise for me. Nor was it for my friend but she’s always been good…

• Twisted Tales: Suddenly Super Review

  What if Violet was an Agent of Syndrome? This was another solid addition to the Twisted Tales series. It’s unfortunate this tale is only available out of the U.S. because Calonita does a great job on the first Pixar-based tale. All from Violet’s POV, Calonita explores the girl’s negative feelings about her powers. Since being…

• Truth or Dare Review

  I always enjoy it when Archie comics brings the spotlight to one of the lesser-known reoccuring characters. In this case, it was Trula Twyst, my favorite adversary for Jughead with her mental mindgames. I can see why Robbins thought she was prime material for a psychological thriller in liu of Saw and Escape Room. He…

• Book of the Month: Lessons in Chemistry

  Don’t let that gorgeous hair and sassy look fool you, Elizabeth Zott takes chemistry and cooking seriously. In fact, she takes everything seriously. She rarely smiles, and she has good reason to. Being a female scientist in the early 60s is just hell. No respect, constant comments from men and women, no one likes her…
