Alison Pink (7 KP) rated Come In and Cover Me in Books

Jan 15, 2018

This book tells the story of Ren an archeologist who can see ghosts. Her first experience is with her older brother who was killed in a car accident when she was 12. It carries over into her work in the field years later when she sees a young, Native American girl chopping off her hair in a creek. Lynay as the ghost comes to be known leads Ren to various discoveries, both about herself & ancient culture.
The story had absolutely no action to it. It was well written, but I unfortunately found myself getting bored with at multiple points in the plot. The summaries I read prior to reading the book sounded good... an interesting idea, intriguing characters, but the execution was poor. Not worth the time really.

Kristin (149 KP) rated Murder Red Ink in Books

Dec 7, 2018

Disclaimer: I received an e-copy in exchange for an honest review.

I personally loved "Ghosts of San Francisco" and I'm an avid reader of anything having to do with Jack the Ripper, so when I was given the opportunity to read and review "Murder Red Ink," there was no way I could pass it up. And once again, Mr. McGhee does not disappoint!

This book involves a very interesting take on the Ripper murders, and it kept me engrossed from beginning to end. There were many times I had to put it down because of that pesky thing called "life," but I just didn't want to, and that's how you know a book is awesome.

Wonderful novel, tantalizing plot and theories, and another great story from this author. Keep 'em coming! =)

5 stars

Franjpan (10 KP) rated Super Bunny Man in Video Games

Nov 26, 2018

An indie game about a guy in a rabbit costume. There are 40 exiting levels to roll, jump, float or fall though, including a story mode, co-op and multiplayer (up to 4). Find hidden carrots, race time attack ghosts, or simply just try to get to the end potal. While it is still not finished there are lots of great levels to get started on, although it is sure to cause frustration when you keep dying at the same point. We've all been in that situation when we get near to the end in the first try then it takes half an hour to get back there. But I think that this just makes it better when you finally finish a level. Overall a great game to play.
