Book Review: Angelfall

Books like Angelfall are one the few reasons why readers shouldn’t give up on reading paranormal stories and picking up self-published books. The journey might be taxing but once you come across stories like Angelfall, all those hitches you’ve passed by will be greatly compensated. It is amazingly unique and greatly depicts Susan Ee’s superb devotion to the genre.

Book Review: The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar and Six More

Henry Sugar is a Roald Dahl through and through. It was funny with outrageous characters but definitely an awesome book for the family. It may have a lot of pleasant exaggeration but the lessons it conveyed were certainly practical and heartwarming. I actually found myself laughing and crying at the same time for Henry wasn’t your typical hero. He had been evil and clueless and yet, he never backed down from making a difference in the lives of those poor children. I’ve learned a lot from Henry. On how he transformed from being immature to mature, from being self-centered to…
