The Library at Mount Char - 5 Stars
Let’s get one thing out of the way: the author has a sick imagination—this book clearly comes from a very damaged mind, and I mean that as a compliment.
The first part was a bit light on plot, and I started to lose interest. But once it gets going… oh boy. There’s a great setup, super cool characters, no-holds-barred scenes, and a solid writing style holding it all together.
It’s weird in all the right ways, the kind of story that sticks with you for its sheer originality.
I read an interview where the author admitted he’s been struggling to write a second book up to this standard. I thought that was a bit extreme—until I finished this. Now I get it. The Library at Mount Char is so unique, it would be hard to follow it up with anything average.

Kill for Me, Kill for You – 4 Stars:
I'm a little torn on this one. It has stretches that are just silly, pushing the believability factor way down, even for a fiction thriller.
That said, it’s often very gripping. Some twists genuinely surprised me, and I really enjoyed getting pulled into the story—even if it was in a mindless and forgettable way.
The characters have just enough depth to hold the story together, but nothing more. Is this the definition of a guilty pleasure? Having fun with a book that’s not amazing and will probably fade from memory in a few weeks?
Either way, it was fun and never boring.
