Children of the Dark by Jonathan Janz
3.0
My first Jonathan Janz book. I've been hearing some high praise in the Horror community for this author, and I went into this with some high expectations. Unfortunately, for me, these expectations might not have been realistic, and the book fell short. It was a good story, with some cool points, but overall, the relationships between characters felt too forced or unrealistic, and it ruined the flow of the story...plus I couldn't hang with POV narration from a 14/15 year old boy and how much he loved his dream girl that was dating his worst enemy.
Judas Priest: Heavy Metal Painkillers-An Illustrated History by Martin Popoff
4.0
This book is a great journey through Judas Priest's legacy, with each chapter covering individual albums from Rocka Rolla through Angel Of Retribution, as well as hitting upon Fight, Halford, and Tipton's solo albums. I listened to each album in Priest's catalog as I dove into each chapter, and it was a great ride.
Night Chills by Dean Koontz
3.0
I read a lot of Dean Koontz as a kid, and while I remember really enjoying his books, and devouring them one after the other, I don't really remember anything about those stories. I've been wanting to go back and revisit them for a while now, and finding a used paperback of Night Chills at the book store gave me my first opportunity. Wow. That was a lot of rape. I certainly don't remember that from when I read it as a kid in the 80's, but this was still a good, entertaining read for me. I was looking for this kind of nostalgic thriller, and Night Chills delivered.
Along Came a Spider by James Patterson
2.0
This is my second Alex Cross book. It is entertaining, but I don't think I'll ever need to return to the series.
As Evil Does by John Tigges
2.0
Motorcycle gangs! Drugs! Devil worship! Oh my! Yeah, this is definitely an 80's horror paperback. The only thing missing was a good guy driving a Trans Am... oh... sorry... yeah, it had one of those as well. Incredibly cliched with a totally off the wall plot line and some terrible dialog. Fun for a laugh, and that kick ass paperbook cover, but really, there isn't much substance here.
