I don't know what just happened, and I'm almost afraid to examine it too closely in case I find things to nitpick (and I certainly could nitpick) and end up lowering my rating.
This hasn't been a very good year for me, rating wise, and I was pretty close to giving up on Lackey altogether. I was really...

4 stars--I really liked it.
It's the characters and the writing that keep me interested in these books, not the plot. Like with the last book, the pacing is strange, and Mildmay and Felix seem trapped in loops of self deprecation and anger that are repeated over and over. The plot is a slow burn,...

A good old haunted house story is something I've always loved, so when the narrator of this tale offered me a chance to listen to the audio in exchange for a review, I jumped at it. Poppy Z. Brite is an author I've heard a lot about and I've been wanting to read his work for quite some time. I learned a few things...

Cold Fire / Hideaway / The Key to Midnight
| Author | Dean Koontz |
| ISBN | 0399146261 |
This is the first book I've read by Dean Koontz and let me just say that it was great. Amazing. Page-turning, edge-of-your-seat astounding. And for me, that's saying something. Normally I wouldn't like a book like this, but The Key to Midnight was just plain amazing. It had everything a book needed; suspense,...
