Oh Sherlock, how I love thee. Sherlock Holmes is one of my absolute favorite, timeless classic characters. He's witty, smart, and hilarious. I never he thought he could be made better until I discovered him with a paranormal twist. Enter Warlock Holmes, the now slightly dead wizard here to do his best to save man-kind from the demons and otherworldly things that are just right outside of our consciousness. As some of you may remember, I was devoured the first Warlock last year and couldn't wait to get my hands on the next book in the series, Warlock Holmes: The … [Read more...]
London Belongs to Me – Book Review & Why I Loved It
I've been catching up on my to read list now that the kiddo is back in school.

The Fangirl Life + The New Adventures of Peter + Wendy
Hey, kids - did you miss me? I've had quite a bit of a summer hiatus. With the kiddo being home from school, blogging took a back seat.

Today, I'll be talking about The Fangirl Life and how I experienced one of my first fangirl show moments with someone other than myself. Fangirl doesn't always have the best connotation. You know us womenfolk with our hysterias (sarcasm). I think some people … [Read more...]

Warlock Holmes: A Study in Brimstone Review
Over the last year, I have developed a Sherlock love. Although I've not read the original stories, I am slightly obsessed with the BBC series. I don't even think I've seen the movies for that matter, but the TV series has me head over heels for both Sherlock and Dr. Watson. The banter, the wit, and of course the mysteries are what make Sherlock so enjoyable. I was recently tipped off to a spinoff book of Sherlock called Warlock Holmes: A Study in Brimstone by G.S. Denning. Thanks to some warlock-like forces (aka the power of email), I got a copy to read … [Read more...]
