Postmodern Deconstruction Madhouse by Peter Quinones Book Review from @kleffnotes

Katherine Kleffner

Peter Quinones’ Postmodern Deconstruction Madhouse contains a variety of stories and ideas in a loosely connected universe that reads as an experimental examination of human life and culture. When I began reading this work I was intrigued by the variety of relationships discussed within the chapters, but also found myself enjoying the elements of film criticism. Quinones’ scene work, which seems like the best way to describe his chapters dedicated to human interaction, is strong and brings forward vivid images of the characters he creates.  Continue reading “Postmodern Deconstruction Madhouse by Peter Quinones Book Review from @kleffnotes”

Book Review: The Curse of Sacerdozio by @Glen_Aaron1 via @tdmiller820917

tdianemiller

The Curse of Sacerdozio by Glen Aaron achieves a feat that few novels can boast: it succeeds in effortlessly encompassing multiple disciplines. Framed as a mystery and crime drama, Glen also gives readers character psychology, cultural and historical references and legal analysis and interpretation. The novel entertains as it educates allowing the reader to be both intrigued and informed.

Book Review: Beauty & The Beast Fire at Sea by @NancyHolder via @stacyamiller85 #BATB

Stacy

Many fans were saddened when Beauty & The Beast ended its run on The CW in 2016. Detective Catherine Chandler and Dr. Vincent Keller enchanted fans with their romance as their love faced dangers due to the fact that Keller’s DNA had been genetically altered by government agency Muirfield in an attempt to create a super soldier government weapon, this caused Vincent to develop”beast-like” abilities. When he saved Catherine’s life, their fates became forever intertwined. We were invited into the world of Catherine and Vincent, their best friends JT and Tess and Catherine’s little sister Heather every week for four seasons. There was always action, adventure and danger.  But above all, undeniable love and loyalty.

Book Review- Supernatural Mythmaker by @TimWaggoner via @stacyamiller85 #Supernatural

Stacy

As a fan of Supernatural since its premiere on the now-defunct The WB network (it currently airs on The CW) on September 13, 2005, I’ve looked forward to seeing the story of Winchester brothers Sam and Dean unfold for twelve years.  These two brothers have given up their lives for “the family business,” pursuing supernatural evil that threaten the safety and lives of innocents. They’ve battled demons, ghosts, witches and more. Not to mention gods.  The later were often egotistical and not above taking human sacrifices (Remember Leshi in the Season 5 episode “Fallen Idols”?)

Passages By Anne Hamre Book Review from @kleffnotes

Katherine Kleffner

Anne Hamre’s novel, Passages, is an entrancing historical fiction work adapted from actual events that happened in the lives of her grandparents from the late 1890’s into the mid-1920’s. The primary narrator of the story is her grandmother Anne, a strong-willed woman in search of independence, who falls in love with a hired farmhand, who later becomes her husband Frank. The story of their love crossing continents reads like an epic romance, though as with such stories not everything can always be full of joy and happiness. Hamre’s adaptation of her family’s history is filled with such depth that you will find yourself entranced by the love weaving throughout the novel. Continue reading “Passages By Anne Hamre Book Review from @kleffnotes”
