Book Review: Bio-sapiens

BIO-Sapien book 1 - Optic-warp by Vlane Carter My rating: 3 of 5 stars Jaden has to make a tough choice, does he trust the military who are chasing him, or does he trust the UFO scanning him? If he chooses the military then he stays on earth, but would anyone ever hear from again? But if he chooses the UFO will he ever see his friends and family?

Book Review: Raptor Cop

Raptor Cop: The Battle With Willie The Worm by J. Pedicini My rating: 4 of 5 stars What happens when a dedicated cop gets splashed with an experimental liquid designed to restore prehistoric cells - RAPTOR COP! Stan must make the most of his situation, and fight the evil Willie the Worm to rescue the brilliant Juanita Parker. Will he find her in time? This graphic novel origin story is beautifully drawn, although a little light on dialogue in my opinion. Still it is a really easy, fast read and given that I’m desperately trying to get my special needs 9 year old to love reading as much as I do, I believe we will be using this as a reading discussion point ASAP! FYI - this ebook is FREE on Amazon and B&N right now, so get it while you can! View all my reviews Please note, while there may be affiliate links or payment for reviews, all opinions are my own.
