New Release: ‘Cari Mora’ by Thomas Harris
May 21, 2019 at 1:25 pm | Posted in Books, News | Leave a comment
Thomas Harris, author of the Silence of the Lambs and all the Hannibal Lector spin-off novels, has finally written a new book after 13 years. On top of that, this one has nothing to do with Hannibal Lector.
Twenty-five million dollars in cartel gold lies hidden beneath a mansion on the Miami Beach waterfront. Ruthless men have tracked it for years. Leading the pack is Hans-Peter Schneider. He makes a living fleshing out the violent fantasies of other, richer men.
Cari Mora, caretaker of the house, has escaped from the violence in her native country. She stays in Miami on a wobbly Temporary Protected Status, subject to the iron whim of ICE. Cari catches the eye of Hans-Peter as he closes in on the treasure. But Cari Mora has surprising skills, and her will to survive has been tested before.

Pirate’s Price by Lou Anders is a collection of stories all featuring Hondo Ohnaka. The stories take place over multiple time periods ranging from the time of the Empire to the events after The Last Jedi. While this is a good book, it’s an even better audiobook as it’s narrated by the voice of Hondo Ohnaka himself, Jim Cummings. Click here to read our full review.

Book Review: ‘Queen’s Shadow’ by E. K. Johnston
April 11, 2019 at 7:46 am | Posted in Books, Reviews, Star Wars, Star Wars Books | 1 CommentTags: e. k. johnston, queen's shadow
If you want to know more about Padme and her handmaidens, Queen’s Shadow is definitely the book you’re looking for. There’s not a lot of action and excitement, and it’s definitely a slower paced story, but the character exploration keeps it interesting. In this book you get to dive into Padme’s head and find out what her reasoning is, who she is as a person, and why she does the things she does. You also get to find out who the handmaidens are and what their role is in all of this. It makes for an interesting book. Click here to read our full review.
