Prior Bad Acts

by Bookworm

prior bad acts.jpg“Chilling thriller with a romantic chaser.” –New York Daily News

Book Description
New York Times bestselling author Tami Hoag returns with a thriller that begins with a shocking crime scene you’ll never forget and follows two relentless detectives on a manhunt that ends in a chilling confrontation with the essence of human evil.

PRIOR BAD ACTS

It was a crime so brutal, it changed the lives of even the most hardened homicide cops. The Haas family murders left a scar on the community nothing can erase, but everyone agrees that convicting the killer, Karl Dahl, is a start. Only Judge Carey Moore seems to be standing in the way. Her ruling that Dahl’s prior criminal record is inadmissible raises a public outcry–and puts the judge in grave danger.

World without a Superman by Dan Jurgens

by Bookworm

World without a Superman.jpgThe creators behind these stories sure took their time in telling the tale of a world without Superman. We get to see a lot of reactions from a lot of people: Lois grieving her fiance is dead, people still in disbelief despite time since Supe’s death has passed, some humbling experiences for others and lowlifes who take the opportunity of Superman’s absence. I am glad that they didn’t rush the story that suddenly brings Superman back and made us whirl. All this just preps us for the next and final part of the Death of Superman trilogy.

Synopsis

The Invisible Man

by Bookworm

man.jpgThe Invisible Man written by H.G. Wells is a must read science fiction. A scientist who discovers a way to make things invisible and goes ahead and tries it on himself not knowing that he cannot become visible again. He is now able to do anything and not be discovered. His main trouble is trying to keep his destructive reign of terror under control while trying to live a normal life. The Invisible Man is blamed for everything that troubles the small town. My main reason why I liked this short story was how well Wells made the Invisible Man’s body completely invisible but not his clothes. Many men who searched for the Invisible Man only saw the clothes he was wearing. A part in the story was, Huxter stuck his hand down the Invisible Man’s collar. From the air a [click to continue...]
