Welcome to Episode 22 of  Conversations over Milk & Cookies  hosted by Kindle Ninja. What is this madness, you ask?  It's my way of supporting members of the  RAVE REVIEWS BOOK CLUB .  We interact with them everyday, directly through tweets, or indirectly through re-tweets, but we don't really know much about them. Their personalities really don't shine through in 140 characters. All the EPISODES of  Conversations over Milk & Cookies  can be found  HERE .  Or you can just look to your right and you'll find the  Quick Links . In this episode, we feature AUTHOR NICHOLAS C. ROSSIS. He's the author of the ' PEARSEUS ' series and ' POWER OF SIX + 1 '  BOOK 3 of PERSEUS IS OUT: ' MAD WATER' Nicholas is the Rave Reviews Book Club's Social Media Director. Let's get to know Nicholas in more than 140 characters, shall we? KINDLE NINJA:   Welcome to Conversations over Milk and Cookie...

Kindle Ninja Review: RAVE REVIEWS BOOK CLUB Edition #7

Kindle Ninja Review Edition #7  featuring The Reunion, Dangled Carat, and It Lives In the Basement The Reunion (Beneath the Trap Door) by A.A. Pencil 4 / 5 ★★★★ The first chapter of the book introduces the characters – a whole lot of them. Although author A.A. Pencil created quite an ensemble, it’s a struggle to remember them all (but this is more of a reader’s shortcoming rather than a story flaw). It’s a bit of a slow start, but the personality clashes and banters are enough to keep my interest. It’s not established who the core characters are so you’d be in the dark about 90% of the time, which means you’re speculating most of the time (a good thing!). What started as shallow bickerings and embarrassing trips down memory lane, quickly turned into a gruesome murder spree from an unknown assailant. And this is where it gets maddeningly twisted. It’s reminiscent of slasher films of decades past, but more violent and bizarre.  What...

Kindle Ninja Review: RAVE REVIEWS BOOK CLUB Edition #8

Kindle Ninja Review Edition #8  featuring The Traveller and Bomber Boy Bomber Boy by Ike Pius ★★★½ Farouk Muttab’s mission to blow up a commercial plane didn’t go as planned, which sets in motion a series of events that has dire consequences to his life, family, and the terrorist group he is connected with. Farouk’s next step is surprising in that it’s uncharacteristic of a terrorist profile, much less of a suicide bomber. He does not quite fall under the category of a religious fanatic nor someone who was brainwashed to do the deed. Such ambiguity makes you question Farouk's real intention. This makes the character even more intriguing and open to different interpretations. Perhaps, it depicts the uncertainty and doubt that men and women in the same situation wrestle with.  The story deals with the sensitive issue of terrorism and how easy it is to switch loyalties when innocent lives are threatened. But more than that, it depicts an inter...

Kindle Ninja Review Edition #10 featuring Fireflies and Where Blue Birds Fly ' Fireflies' by P.S. Bartlett ★★★ ★ ★ 5/5 The story of the Whelan family is set in the 1800s. It would take absolutely brilliant writing to really take us back in time to a different century – and the writer has achieved this quite impressively.  This is one of those books that has to be read at a leisurely pace so you could appreciate the beauty of the narrative. While it focuses on Ennis’ extraordinary gift, this is as much about his father Owen, who also has a story to tell. This then explains the difficult situation that the family has to come to terms with. The supernatural and paranormal elements are seamlessly combined with 19th century life so vividly imagined. It's a combination that's quite difficult to pull off because of the sheer complexity of the individual elements.  'Fireflies' is an enjoyable read with interesting characters and an...
