Review: Letters To Zell

My wedding is going to be awesome.

I can’t imagine why you wouldn’t want to come… The main characters of Camille Griep’s first novel

Review: X’s for Eyes

“I, for one, have no interest in being tortured, imprisoned, or experimented on. Again.” The story begins in a school for assassins in the Himalayas, so at first it looks like this will be a tale of deprivation and physical training. But then it switches to two brothers leaving the temple for their summer vacation, looking

Review: The X-Files Vol. 1 – The Agents, The Bureau and The Syndicate

Happy New Year, everyone! Time to start looking forward to everything coming in 2016, including the brand-new The X-Files miniseries set to start in (checks imdb) twelve days?! Good grief, I’m way behind on my fangirling here. It’s been more than thirteen years since the last episode aired (seven since the second movie. Which I haven’t

The Best Books of 2015

Whelp, it’s that time of year again. Time to look back on fifty-two weeks of book reviews and decide which ones were our favorites. Not gonna lie here, this was a tough decision.
