Book Review: Nine Liars by Maureen Johnson
I figured I’d go ahead and pick up this book after I finished The Box in the Woods. After realizing my reading tastes have changed, I didn’t go into this one expecting the same enthusiasm as I did returning to the series after the original trilogy…

Book Review: Father Elijah by Michael O’Brien
I am fascinated by prophecy discussions. This book has come up often when looking up books on the subject. Although it’s a novel, I found that quite a bit correlates with today’s ideologies despite being written in the 90s. My only regret is that I didn’t start from the beginning of the series…
