We're joined by a guest as we cover the YA supernatural thriller, City of Bones. It's a tale as old as time. Girl likes boy, boy likes girl, they get attcked by the most non-threatening demons of all time. Boy turns into a rat? It makes more sense in context. Starting off the new year strong with this one.

We explore a post civil war America in a series that absolutely is not about abortion. Delving deep into the story of Unwind, we visit a not-so-distant future where children are magically sawed to pieces for body parts and one tough teen strikes out for his survival. This book asks hard hitting questions like when does life truly start and what does it mean to have a soul. Fortunately for us, there's enoughcomedy material in this thing we just glossed over all that boring stuff.

We tackle a legend among horror with our rendition of Dracula. Starting with some toilet humor, we eventually devolve into wild west action with a couple crackers thrown in. Following a story you probably know very well, we take the time to highlight some details you may have missed when reading the definitive vampire fiction.

We return to a short Joe Ledger review while we finish up our Halloween surprise. Fresh off the death of his love and off screen revenge, Joe returns to the mayhem he knows best. Now investigating a series of online trolls, Joe battles another global cabal while continually reminding us why psyche examinations exist for military service. Stick around to the end for all of the special guest stars this book includes

Our final journey into the Pendergast series. Returning to New York we are introduced to a crime of the century, just not this century. Journey with us to the forgotten time of 2001 and we'll do our best to survive while a billionaire albino tries to crack this case.

We delve into the mysteries of the American Southwest with another "Agent Penderghast" novel. This time a young woman searches for her long lost father who who disappeared looking for a lost city of treasure. Despite our efforts we couldn't keep it lost so now you're all stuck listening to them discuss archeology while monsters run around

After taking some time to record some episodes, Connor continues our favorite lizard themed series. Continuing one FBI agent's hunt for the truth, our trusty albino billionaire may have more trouble than he's bargained for. We learn lots about logistics as well as botany in this sequel that shows just how far a talented pair of authors can really stretch an idea.

We test our understanding of genetics and geography with the 90's techno-thriller Relic. Which is a fancy way of saying we make Connor tell us about it and I saw half the movie. With twists even dumber than you could expect, we get to travel through time to the R-rated cut of A Night at the Museum. Also there are possibly cat ghosts.

I've got to quit using the word "explicitly". Back after we took some time to record our next series. Concluding our story with a long drawn out whimper rather than a bang, Eragon battles an evil king and saves the kingdom. Kind of. After a lot of feasts. Join us as we button up this tale and prove you really make any book novel length if you attach enough side stories.

Joined by our upbeat friend Cole, as well as our evil dopplegangers at the end, we continue to explore the journey of Eragon through the third book in the Inheritance Cycle. This novel further elaborates on the political systems of the magical world that remind us why everyone loved the Star Wars Prequels. Then they remember they're in a fantasy universe and throw in some dragons at the end. Altogether, I'd say it's pretty buttoned up.
