Book Review: Mountain Fast by S.J. Shank

Title: Mountain Fast

Author: S.J. Shank

Release date: June 24th, 2024

Honestly, I thought this book was released last year, so it kind of stumped me when I saw it actually only came out in June of this year. I think part of it was maybe I’d seen the cover reveal earlier and just kind of assumed it was a book out? Who knows. Or, it could very well be that I’ve lost some semblance of how time opera

Cat on the Run in Cucumber Madness! by Aaron Blabey

Clear rating
A fun sequel to book one, though felt a bit light when compared to book one and to the way the Bad Guys series unfolded.
Still a lot of laughs and my son and I enjoyed some of the pun humour within.
