Labyrinth by A G Riddle- BookΒ review Alan Norris has lost everything. Except for his daughter. And he's willing to do anything to protect her.The day of his wife's funeral, as he's walking to give the eulogy, the ringing in his ears starts. His tinnitus began when he was in the Marines, the day a roadside bomb went off. Usually, it's a low whine - a tea kettle that never quite boils.

Here is my review of Labyrinth- another great science fiction book by A. G Riddle

Red city by Marie Lu ( New Alchemists #1) – BookΒ review. Alchemy is the hidden art of transformation. An exclusive power wielded by crime syndicates that market it to the world’s elites in the form of sand, a drug that enhances those who take it into a more perfect version of themselves: more beautiful, more charismatic, simply more. Among the gleaming skyscrapers and rolling foothills of Angel City, alchemy is controlled by two rival syndicates.

Here is my review of Red City by Marie Lu- fantasy with Alchemy and gangs

Seeing a few people surprised and/or irritated that The Damned King isn’t the final book in a trilogy, so please help me spread the word: THE EIDYN SAGA IS A FOUR-BOOK SERIES. It has been ever since I signed with Orbit in 2021. I’m writing book 4 right now. It’s coming!
