Block’s The Sins of the Fathers **Review originally written in August, 2011.**I needed a hole to fill the VOID left by my consumption of the John Connolly Charlie Parker series. Luckily, Connolly has a new book coming out in September, The Burning Soul. Until then, I needed a detective series of substance. A character so cool, so…
Joe Hill’s Thumbprint “You’d be surprised what you can do to people”. I haven’t read or watched a lot of fiction that has to do with war. I’ve only really seen a handful of movies and the majority of them paint soldiers in a glowing light. I’m not about to sit here and criticize those…
Brubaker & Phillips’ Fatale But what good was it loving someone so perfect when you were watching yourself crumble to dust every morning in the mirror?

However, rather than killing her, Hush keeps both Catwoman and her heart in good health as he toys with Batman, trying to end…
Locke & Key: Clockworks When I finished Clockworks, there was a note at the end of the book indicating that the story would be concluded with Book 6. I think this is a mistake.
