The Medical Examiner

Image
Author: James Patterson and Maxine Paetro Pages: 144 First Published: August 2017 Genre: Mystery Thriller Book description (from Good Reads): Two bodies arrived at the morgue. One was still breathing. A woman checks into a hotel room and entertains a man who is not her husband. A shooter blows away the lover and wounds the millionaires, leaving her for dead. Is it a perfect case for the Women's Murderer Club or just the most twisted? Note: This is the 16.5 installment of the Murderer Club series and it is the first book I read. I read them out of order obviously, it seems I like to do that recently. But in reality as I was reading it did not feel like I was missing anything, maybe the backstory of how the woman mentioned here met, but well it can still be read separately from my POV at least you understand the story without issue, I will go back and start on book one and work my way up from there. Things to consider: Characters: 8.0  Initially, our lovely alive corpse, Joan, g...

The Perfect Mother

Image
Author: Aimee Molloy Genre: Mystery/Thriller Publication date: May 2018 Book description (from Good Reads):  They call themselves the May Mothers—a collection of new moms who gave birth in the same month. Twice a week, with strollers in tow, they get together in Prospect Park, seeking refuge from the isolation of new motherhood; sharing the fears, joys, and anxieties of their new child-centered lives. When the group’s members agree to meet for drinks at a hip local bar, they have in mind a casual evening of fun, a brief break from their daily routine. But on this sultry Fourth of July night during the hottest summer in Brooklyn’s history, something goes terrifyingly wrong: one of the babies is abducted from his crib.

Saga Vol 1

Image
Author: Brian K. Vaughan  Artist: Fiona Staples Contains chapter 1 to 6 Original publication date: October 2012 Book description:  When two soldiers from opposite sides of a never-ending galactic war fall in love, they risk everything to bring a fragile new life into a dangerous old universe. Thoughts: So it felt too sudden, it was a very fast read we are thrown in the middle of a war, two people are running for their lives and just go from one situation to another. The volumes here show a series of events that take place in a very small amount of time. I still do not feel too connected to the character but I really want to continue to see how they get to the present. It is being told, so all of this has already happened. It does take away a bit of the thrill as you kind of infer on the outcome, yet you do not the events and the how of the story so that's compelling to get you to read it.  The world where they are is not explained too much, but the art is stu...

Danse Macabre- DNFed

Image
  Author: Stephen King Genre: NonFiction Original Publication date: 1981 Book description(I read this only after DNFing the book):   From the author of dozens of #1 New York Times bestsellers and the creator of many unforgettable movies comes a vivid, intelligent, and nostalgic journey through three decades of horror as experienced through the eyes of the most popular writer in the genre. In 1981, years before he sat down to tackle On Writing, Stephen King decided to address the topic of what makes horror horrifying and what makes terror terrifying. Here, in ten brilliantly written chapters, King delivers one colorful observation after another about the great stories, books, and films that comprise the horror genre—from Frankenstein and Dracula to The Exorcist, The Twilight Zone, and Earth vs. The Flying Saucers. Thoughts: This is an interesting book, but you need to understand that a lot of references are very particular and for the most part I was unfamiliar with what it was...
