Now available to purchase in bookstores in paperback as well as on most ebook formats is the new mystery thriller "The Bachelor Girl's Guide to Murder" by Rachel McMillan.

In a cross between a Sherlock Holmes adventure and an Agatha Christie mystery, The Bachelor Girl's Guide to Murder is set in Toronto in the year 1910, where two women, Merinada Herringford and Jem Watts, decide to get into the detective business to help solve the deaths of several young Irish women.

Trying to find clues deep inside the city's underbelly is a bit difficult to do, they must enlist the help of a reporter, Rey DeLuca, and a police constable, Jasper Forth, if they are to unravel the mastermind plot behind the murders.

I believe that I have mentioned a time or two on here about my love for the western genre (books & movies). Unfortunately, this is a dying genre, with exception of the occasional theatrical film, the only way to find a decent "wild west" movie is to look for the ones that go direct-to- VOD or direct-to-DVD.

Last month, Momentum Pictures released the western Forsaken to DVD and Blu-ray. Directed by Jon Cassar (24), the film stars Kiefer Sutherland (24), Donald Sutherland (The Hunger Games films), Brian Cox (X2: X-Men United), Michael Wincott (Alien: Resurrection), Aaron Podle (The Scent of Rain and Lightning) and Demi Moore (Ghost

The only special feature on the single-disc Blu-ray is the Making-of Featurette.

Forsaken follows a very familiar plot that occurred in countless western flicks of the 1950s, in which the prodigal son returns home after the Civil War. In this film,  John Henry (played by Kiefer Sutherland) returns to his hometown in search of a more meaningful life. He left home many years ago to join the Civil War, but found himself drifting around to town to town afterward; eventually his wild ways led to a death of an innocent, so he put away his guns and came back home.

Sadly, John's homecoming is not a pretty one as he learns about his mother's death upon arriving at his family's small farm. His father, Reverend William Clayton (played by Donald Sutherland), doesn't exactly have welcoming arms for him, but, nevertheless, the Reverend prays that John will stay away from his gunsling ways.

Wow! This year has really went by fast. It seems like it was yesterday when I first started my Thursday ReReads posts, but now here I am reviewing book 14 of the Rotten School series (only two more books left).

This entry is titled "Night of The Living Creepy Things," which is a spoof of the famous zombie film "Night of the Living Dead," though the plot doesn't involve zombies.

The story centers on the greatest horror director, B.A. Gool, visiting Rotten School to give a speech about his films, and to make a great announcement - he will be judging a horror film contest on Halloween Night. The student that makes the scariest film will win a  role in B.A. Gool's next movie. And of course Bernie Bridges, aka Rotten School's 4th-grade schemer, is determined to win the contest.

But there's one little bitty problem - Bernie cannot come up with a scary idea.

It seems all the other students have already taken all the best ideas, like "Attack of the Toad People" and "Horror Zoo."

It's difficult to keep up with all the fantasy/supernatural; novels that are on the market these days. While I do like reading this genre, I tend to stick with a few select authors, such as Kim Harrison, the author of the Hollow series. What attracted me to the series to begin with was that most of the title's are a spin of a Clint Eastwood movie title.

Sadly, the Hollow series ended in 2014 with the final installment, The Witch With No Name. However, book one of the Peri Reed Chronicles was released last year (the paperback will be coming out on April 19th!), titled The Drafter.

Available today as an ebook, is Waylaid, a short novella that mixes together the author's two series!

Yes, I'm well aware that The Drafter is set in a futuristic green world of Detroit and that the Hollow series is set in a world were vampires, witches, werewolves and other supernaturals walk among us. Kim Harrison uses a little magic to zap Hollow's Rachel Morgan quite literally into Peri Reed's living room.

Being yanked out of your reality and into a world where no supernatural creatures (well, except for Jenks) exist, doesn't fly very well with Rachel; so naturally she wants to get back to her own world as soon as possible.
