Pious by Kenn Bivins
5.0
Pious is a book about forgiveness. Throughout the story, we see so many different things that mask themselves as peace and forgiveness, but this isn't a book that lets you walk away thinking redemption is all niceties. In fact, if I had to summarize the story in a sentence, I'd say Pious is a book that teaches us that forgiveness is not about forgetting sins, but about accepting them, living with the consequences, and slowly building a bridge across the chasm that those sins create.
I applaud Mr. Bivins' first foray into novel writing. The characters pop, the message is clear, the dialogue is quite intense at times, and the book leaves you thinking about what happened for days afterward.
Great read!

Ghost Ship by Diane Carey

I saw this sitting on my Kindle and decided to give it a shot. I guess I can blame most of the character differentiation on the age of the book, and the fact that they were dealing with season one characters. Still, it gave me the feeling that the author just didn't "get it" in parts. Oh, and warp 13? Hrm....

This little book is packed with life. I strongly recommend it.
