Fat Hoochie Prom Queen by Nico Medina

Jeff -

If nothing else this book should get best title of the year. Fat Hoochie Prom Queen is not only fun to say, it looks good on the cover too. Luckily this second novel from Nico Medina features a good story to go with its title.
The story is cut from the Ugly Betty style of [...]

Blind Fall by Christoper Rice

Jeff -

Why? Why is this book so uneven?
I’ve been a big fan of Christopher Rice’s since he published A Density of Souls back in 2001. His style is typically a thriller with just a tinge of supernatural.

Changing Tides by Michael Thomas Ford

Jeff -

I feel like it took me forever to read this book, which is not a good sign. An even worse sign is that I nearly abandoned it a couple of times and I did skim over entire parts of it. I’m usually a huge fan of Ford’s work, but Changing Tides left me a bit [...]

I like what I’ve done to give the story a linear timeline that [...]
