I finished my most recent review the other day on Goodreads:

Best 2023 April Books

April 12, 2023

I read this book because I finally got into RPG type novels and this one had the reputation as the first.

It’s not an RPG novel like many fantasy type novels I’ve read. It’s much more a dystopian novel with a dominant RPG universe called Oasis. All the world’s society revolves around this game, invented by a pair of batty billionaires.

One billionaire retired and the other died. When he died, the revealed he had placed an Easter Egg, a hidden object in his RPG universe. All he left was a cryptic poem. Find the egg and you’ll get all his billions. People searched relentlessly, to no avail. There were three keys and three gates to be found. No one found the first key.

Then Wade came along. He was a poor kid, parentless, raised by his grandmother and obsessed with finding the egg. He researched exhaustively all the 80s trivia the billionaire loved and joined with the other grunters (egg hunters) in playing and solving old video games from the 80s.

Then one day . . .

This novel is certainly worth reading. Don’t miss it if you love RPG fiction. Or dystopian fiction. Or coming of age novels.

Summer boredom is cured by a trip to Space Camp, which results in a trip to space. This is a fun, fast-paced elementary to mid-grade adventure story. Although it’s clear the kids have had prior adventures together, this can be read as standalone.
I liked how they combined their abilities and intelligence to solve problems and support one another. The trivia questions they ask each other are a good way to sneak in some history and facts without a lecture.
The way we get to hear the villains plotting is great. They almost steal the show.
Khai Lannor did a good job with the story as well as voicing adults and all the different kids.

Best March 2023 Reviews and Discounted Books

Best March 2023 Reviews – I’m writing my first fantasy book this year, so I went back to one of my big influences, Terry Prachett in my first review.

If you’re just looking for discounted books, go here. You’ll get my audiobooks for free and other books discounted with every newsletter.

Best March 2023 Reviews > Sourcery

Best March 2023 Reviews


Once again, Terry Pratchett dazzles with a brilliant combination of humor, fantasy, and amazing description. I very literally laughed out loud four or five times while reading this book for the second time.

The inept wizard Rincewind is the primary star in the book, but there are many colorful characters, such as Conina, the daughter of Cohen the Barbarian, with heroism in her blood. Death makes an appearance, along with the other Horsemen of the Apocalypse, who are occupied in surprising activities.

Finally, there is the antagonist/protagonist Coin who is the eighth son of an eighth son of an eighth son and that makes him a sourcerer–a source of magic and the source of the name of the book. He’s young, inexperienced, and more powerful than all the wizards combined.

No more description is needed. You will enjoy this book if you have a sense of humor

Best March 2023 Reviews – A Cowboy Necromancer Book

Best March 2023 Reviews

March 3, 2023

A Challenging Continuation of the Series

Harmon Cooper does not disappoint! The Cowboy Necromancer Sterling Montero and his daughter The Sunflower Kid head west to see the ocean. The fact 90% of humanity has died due to an alien invasion and subsequent apocalypse doesn’t deter them. But they quickly meet challenges they never expected.

The novella ended with me wanting more. Some problems were resolved, but more remained.

Hilarious

I’ve never laughed so much listening to a zombie story before…but then again I’ve never listened to a book about zombie turkeys before either. Hilariously written and actually has some great characters too. Many cameos as well. Definitely an awesome time listening to this one. Hoping for a sequel!

Best March 2023 Reviews – A Half Demon Rebuilding Heaven

Best March 2023 Reviews

March 4, 2023

Author Harmon Cooper continues his action-packed series featuring Danzen a half-demon, half-human assassin. He got tired of the assassin business and retired and was immediately attacked by assassins. He dropped out of sight and was found by his fully demon brother, who was out to kill him as a potential rival to rule hell. His father, the ruler of hell, wants him to be his successor. His mother wants him to rebuild heaven, which fell to earth hundreds of years before.

That covers the first six books, aside from brutal battles with demons and monsters in every chapter. Danzen continues to gather the powerful remnants of heaven methodically. He has loyal friends and one who is more than a friend.

He has a choice–should he join up with hell-spawn to rebuild heaven? If not, his whole mission will fail and he will die.

Review of My Undead Mother-in-law
  • Overall    5 out of 5 stars
  • Performance    5 out of 5 stars
  • Story    5 out of 5 stars

This series is the first I have read of Andy Zach’s and I am not disappointed! This story has tons of action, well written characters, and the zombies are not mindless slow shells. A refreshing take on zombies as a whole. The plot moves at a good pace and the story arc continues to work well over the series. I look forward to book 3! Audio Version: Phil Blechman and Raven Perez do a great job with their respective characters and the overall narration.

But maybe you want to know about my new audiobook, Secret Supers in Space.

Here’s the blurb:

The Secret Supers are bored out of their minds during summer vacation-until they go to Space Camp. They learn all about the space program, try out moon gravity and zero-g simulations, and practice docking with the International Space Station.

But that’s the easy part. The villains they defeated in the past are back with a diabolical plot that renders the middle schoolers’ superpowers ineffective. Jeremy, Aubrey, Dan, and Kayla face the biggest challenge of their lives. Even if they escape the villains’ clutches, will they survive?

I love this story, a great continuation of the first book. The Super Secrets have one heck of an adventure, and I was happy to be along for the ride.

My New Audiobook

Jeremy Gentle, 7th-grader, in an electric wheelchair due to cerebral palsy. His father, Bradon Gentle, works as a financial planner and his mother, Denise, works as an occupational therapist.

He loves science, math, science fiction to the point he tends to be bit obsessive about his interests. His parents have adapted their home for him, putting in an elevator and giving him a science lab where he can work on his experiments downstairs.

In the book Secret Supers, he accidently gives himself a superpower.

Meet Dan Elanga, the next Secret Super

Dan Elanga, is the son of Cameroon immigrants, Elisha and Beulah Elanga. He was born blind and his father, a successful merchant in Cameroon, migrated to the US to help their son fully develop his abilities despite his blindness.

Dan became Jeremy’s best friend, perhaps because they were opposites. Dan was big and gregarious. Jeremy was small and private. Dan likes to joke. Jeremy is serious.

Dan was the second person to get a superpower.
