Hotel of Madness: 
The Boy King: Book 1 
by William Tchatchou

A Necromancer. A careless Wizard. The Book of the Dead.

All Arthur wanted was a vacation. 

But when the Necronomicon he crafted to make a little dough falls into the wrong hands, Arthur finds himself having to save the world – again.

As zombies assault the Hotel Gaylord in Washington D.C., Arthur and a ragtag group of survivors face ancient evils and Old Gods in an attempt to salvage earth from the onslaught of the zombie horde… and worse. Can Arthur and newly minted Hero Susan save the day? Or is Washington slated to become the next Lost City of Atlantis?

Robin's Review: Arthur Curry, Necromancer Extraordinaire sold a special book; but it was no ordinary story. It was an ancient Sumerian copy of the powerful and mysterious 'Necronomicon', which had just opened hell itself in the hotel hosting Katsucon Convention! Zombies are wreaking havoc on Washington D. C’s Gaylord Hotel while more sinister forces threaten to swallow them all - that is until our brave hero rallies his unlikely group of survivors together for a nail-biting battle against evil! Join this thrilling adventure at Hotel Madness and see if you can manage to stay alive throughout its macabre entertainment! I highly recommend this author and his series.

Favorite Lines:

Angel from the Rust 
Earth Medieval Book 1
by Jason Link


They say Earth was a place of wonders, where towers pierced the clouds, cities lit up the night, and flying machines streaked across the sky. 

It was magic. But the magic conjured the End War. Fire fell from the sky, and metal beasts leveled the cities.
That was six hundred years ago. Now the ruins of the Ancient world are buried or overgrown. And the technology of the past is feared as forbidden magic.
Corvala, a young musician on the run from the law, never intended on getting mixed up with history. But when a murderer falls from the heavens and sets himself up as a god, she’s driven into the wilderness and discovers the secret of her bloodline: a code of immense power embedded in her DNA. The code could save thousands—or plunge her into madness.
To defeat the tyrannical false god, Corvala must do something more terrifying than confront the demons of Earth’s history. She must confront her own.

Robin's Review: Get ready to dive deep into a vivid and fascinating dystopian world in Jason Link's "Angel from the Rust." This thrilling post-apocalyptic novel introduces you to Corvalo, Serapha, and the nefarious Dane, all players in a story that pits the "haves" of space against the "have nots" of Earth. The world-building is top-notch, crafting a rich and detailed world without any trace of modern technology. I quickly found myself invested in the well-written and relatable characters, some of whom are even likable. But be warned, lurking in this world are gnarly creatures that only add to the suspense and excitement. This twisty, thought-provoking, and easy-to-read novel is a true page-turner that will keep you engaged until the very end. Trust me; you won't want to put this book down once you get into the groove. So don't miss out - I highly recommend "Angel from the Rust"!
