I wanted to branch out to other authors of the genre I like to write, supernatural/suspense, who, like Mary Downing Hahn, tell stories (for children, teens, or adults) that involve the concept of overcoming fear. I’ve found that Darcy Coates’ books fall under this umbrella. This is the first book of hers I’ve read, andContinue reading “Book Review: The Whispering Dead by Darcy Coates”

Book Review: The Thirteenth Cat by Mary Downing Hahn
I started this week reading a book from a MG detective series, but after catching a lot of grammar errors and seeing it had WAY too much dialogue, I abandoned it and read a book from Mary Downing Hahn (in 2 days!!).

This book delved more into the magical history of Connie’s family. This time, while nearly cracking under the pressure of pursuing tenureContinue reading “Book Review: The Daughters of Temperance Hobbs by Katherine Howe”
Book Review: Newes from the Dead by Mary Hooper
I came across this book during some independent research I was doing for an article I was writing about “Half-Hangit Maggie”, who had an ordeal similar to that of Hooper’s protagonist, Anne Green. As a piece of historical fiction, I was impressed, overall. The story flipped between Anne’s first-person narration as well as a limitedContinue reading “Book Review: Newes from the Dead by Mary Hooper”
