Review: The Haunting of Rachel Harroway Super Boxset

The Haunting of Rachel Harroway Super Boxset by J.S. Donovan
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This series of books delves into a woman who can see ghosts similar to the "Ghost Whisperer" television show. I enjoyed most of the books but found that I was rereading some of the book from the previous one to refresh the readers mind on what happened previously. I found this series on Amazon and used my Kindle Unlimited status to read these books.

Review: The Night Crossing

The Night Crossing by Robert Masello
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Bram Stoker was running a theater in London where he worked with his friend and famous actor at that time a one Henry Irving. When a young woman returns from the Carpathian mountains in Transylvania, she also brings home an ancient deity housed in a small golden box. With Bran's help, they rescue a young boy and put a stop to the evil brother and sister who have been preying on the poor for their Egyptian rituals that suck the life out of their victims.

Love this book! What interested me most was the way history is woven into the storyline, it makes it seem all the more like a true story. Was also captivated with characters and how life was so different to what it is today.

Review: Rabbit & Robot

Rabbit & Robot by Andrew Smith
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

And here I thought this was a YA book, it is not. I won this book on Goodreads for a honest review. This book took me a little while to get into the tempo of the story but once there I was entertained with the the comical antics of the cogs and humans. Rowen and Billy, who are Cage's valet and best friend decide to kidnap Cage on a stolen cruise ship to space to get him off the drug Woz. Two female stowaways along with the many Cogs (robots) find that the ship has been invaded by a blue worm that is making the Cogs want to eat each other. There was much foul language and sexual sitations.

Review: A Night in the Lonesome October

A Night in the Lonesome October by Roger Zelazny
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

It felt like I was watching an old black and white movie with all the different charectors from my favorite horror movies in it. Loved the way the author incorporated the evil charectors and their familiars doing most of the talking and actions in the story. Snuff is Jack the Rippers dog and Greymalk is witch Jills cat who team up to play a game with several others to bring about hell on earth or stop it on All Hallows Eve.

Review: Dreadful Company

Dreadful Company by Vivian Shaw
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Dr. Greta Helsing has come to Paris to deliver a medical paper at a convention on monster medicine, with her best friend, a Vampire by the name of Edmund Ruthven. What could go wrong? When a coven of irresponsible vampires takes up residence in the catacombs that lay scattered beneath the city, a string of cataclysmic events start to unfold. With the help of the lead werewolf, a lowly demon, an old vampyre, two extraterrestrial ghost wranglers and the head of the M&E department from Hell must team up to close the rip in time before all the world is destroyed. The characters are worthy of a TV sitcom series that fight the evil in this world of humans and monsters. I liked the storyline and how the "Phantom of the Opera" is incorporated into the overall story that tied so well with the locations in Paris, France.
