Breeana Puttroff’s Thorns of Decision Will Hit You Where It Matters

Thorns of Decision

Okay, Curious One.  I’m moving through the first four books of the Dusk Gate Chronicles by Breeana Puttroff fairly quickly!  They are crazy good reads!  This post is going to sort through the third book, Thorns of Decision.  If it wasn’t hinted at by the title, you are aware that some prickly instances may happen throughout the book.  Some hard feelings are felt, and some decisions are made that begin a trail of pain and new beginnings.

Will You Bend the Rules to Save Your Life? Degree of Guilt Discussion

degree of guilt

Sooooo… What do you think of this novel, Curious One?  I’m gonna start off by saying that Degree of Guilt, written by Richard North Patterson is one of the most intense novels I have read when it comes to raising questions of personal ethics and morals.  Literally every page is full of questions, lies, half-truths, concerns and confusion.  Honestly, even with my personal struggle regarding half the content, I loved Degree of Guilt. 

I’ve never read or been too interested in courtroom-based novels, but I’m glad I read Degree of Guilt.  It was suggested to me by a friend, and I will definitely say it was worth it.

The Dark Room by Minette Walters

The Dark Room by Minette Walters

I hope you are ready, Curious One, because today I ventured into the world of The Dark Room, created by English writer, Minette Walters.  What can I say?  It’s a classic, semi-convoluted crime novel that makes your brain work overtime!  It was wonderful, if a bit too much on occasion. 

There’s a multitude of mixed messages hidden in these pages, but I did my best to keep them straight.  There were so many people involved in this book, detectives from a handful of different locations, a few families, some neighbors and a handful of coworkers that were all recurring characters throughout the 300+ pages.   Honestly?  It was a mess of names and backgrounds and motives and I was overwhelmed for the first third of the book.  Hahahah!

Hey there, Curious One!!!  So, today we are going to explore learning lessons from others.  Whether they are your peers, elders, your parents or your siblings, lessons can be taught in so many ways by so many different people.  Sometimes, all it takes is a single word or statement.  Other times, you have to learn them by yourself and solve them by yourself. 

Making mistakes is the only way you can learn, and learning is the only way you can grow.  So, let’s grow and explore the beautifully curious world of Neil Gaiman in his 2008 fantasy book titled, The Graveyard Book.

Vampire In Denial by Dale Mayer

Alright, Curious One.  Today I took a chance on a topic that I typically stray from.  Vampires.  To me, vampires should be kept as dark, immortal, terrifying beings who hunt at night and take what they want.  They should always epitomize the genuine traits of what most people consider monsters.  No diamond skin, no surviving off blood bags or animal blood and definitely no love affairs with fragile humans. 

However, because I loved Dale Mayer’s Psychic Visions series first book, Tuesday’s Child, I decided to go ahead and check out her first book in the Family Blood Ties series, Vampire in Denial.
