Cult of Dracula, #2, by Rich Davis
Karen’s Magic Review I had to reread the first book to remind myself of the story as this is a continuation. Second time around, I found that I picked up on things I missed the first time. The good thing about a recap is that it’s easy to flick back. After my refresher, it seems… Continue reading Cult of Dracula, #2, by Rich Davis

When done well like this one, it's very satisfying. I was always taught to write about what you know, and I know the author lives in… Continue reading A Partner in Crime by Tony McManus
