I had a great reading month completing 6 novels, I had no five star reviews but 3 four star reviews, 1 three star and 2 two star reviews, I read one advanced copy that is due out in a week.  This month was special  I gained a record 47 followers this month. So thank you to new and old followers.

Four Star Reviews: 

On the Come Up By Angie Thomas, her follow up to The Hate U Give while I didn’t think it rose to the five stars that I gave The Hate U Give, it was darn close.  We follow a young up incoming female rapper, as she tries to make it in the rap game and still keep her voice.  It is both coming of age and thought provoking, my favorite of the month.

Westside by W. M. Akers This is a pretty strong debut, my netgalley read this month. It’s about Gilda who solves tiny mysteries (like a missing glove of jewelry) on the the westside of New York in the 1910’s. Her Westside is haunted and dying it looks like a shell to Eastside. Gilda while detecting a missing glove stubbles upon murder, mayhem and a conspiracy that could destroy New York.

Batman: White Knight by Scott Snyder – this book sold me on it’s what if scenario, What if the Joker went sane? What would happen to Batman? This is a really fun book by one of my favorite writes of Batman comic’s at the moment.

Three Star Reviews:

Sherlock Holmes vs. Cthulhu: The Adventure of the Deadly Dimensions by Lois H. Gresh this novel combines the writing styles of H. P. Lovecraft and Sir Arthur Cohan Doyle, and the mix is not so smooth, I wanted to enjoy this one a little more, some parts were really good but others were hit and miss.

Two Star Reviews:

The Burglar by Thomas Perry has a great premise of a female burglar fakes like a visiting relative to the super rich neighborhoods as she jogs around, but really she’s casing fro her next heist.  She finds a really nice home with signs that no one has entered in a while, what she finds are very expensive painting and three bodies all killed executioner style with a video camera rolling. The burglar after tampering with the evidence to hide her herself, takes it on her self to take find the murderer.  This novel finally gets exciting among the final pages but I was  too little too late for me.

Dark Days: The Road to Metal by Scott Snyder and Grant Morrison, How can a Graphic Novel featuring today’s top comic book storytellers? It could have two new and totally relevant comics and then a a whole lot of filler with random panels talking of the God machine, and including the full complete comics with no summary of events. I still want read Dark Nights: Metal but this Graphic Novel only hurt my excitement for reading it.
