Review: The Button Man by Davidson King

Rating: 4 .25🌈 Assassin and kid stories have turned into a favored theme of mine, whether it’s a movie or a book.

The dynamics that develop between the pair are usually so fascinating depending… Continue reading Review: The Button Man by Davidson King

Review: Charlie’s Doctor (Shadow Elite Book 1) by Jocelynn Drake

Review: The Trials (The Spell Saga Book 4) by Cari Z

Review: Demon House by Mia Monroe

Rating: 2.75🌈 Demon House by Mia Monroe is a quick mildly entertaining Holiday read. It’s a short story with no real drama and , nothing that’s going to ask anything of a reader more then a casual connection to the characters.
