Jen’s Mini Reviews: Books by Christina Henry, Kate Canterbary and Tara Westover

June 9, 2023 by Jen 3 Comments

Lost Boy by Christina Henry

I have a few mini reviews from wildly different authors. All are absolutely excellent and highly recommended.  I’m starting with Lost Boy: The True Story of Captain Hook by Christina Henry. Wow! This recommendation came from a colleague and it did not disappoint me one bit. It’s a dark retelling of Peter Pan and the origin story of Captain Hook. In this not so happy fairy tale, Peter is a spoiled narcissistic psychopath. Not a doctor here…but I’m going for it with the psychopath Continue Reading

Angela’s Minis- Reviews for The Deadly Hours Anthology and The Ghost Tree by Christina Henry

September 10, 2020 by Angela 1 Comment

The Deadly Hours by Susanna Kearsley, C.S. Harris, Christine Trent, Anna Lee HuberHistorical Mystery/Historical Fiction/AnthologySeptember 1, 2020 by Poisoned Pen PressARC I picked up this anthology mainly because of C.S. Harris and Susanna Kearsley, but I was more than happy to get an introduction to a couple of new to me authors. This is one of the better anthologies I've read in the last several years. Each story flowed smoothly into the next and these author's voices worked very Continue Reading

Review: Lost Boy: The True Story of Captain Hook by Christina Henry

July 5, 2017 by Tori 2 Comments

Lost Boy: The True Story of Captain Hook by Christina Henry Fantasy/Myths and Legends July 4, 2017 Berkley Favorite Quote: “I hate Peter Pan.” Reviewed by Tori There is one version of my story that everyone knows. And then there is the truth. This is how it happened. How I went from being Peter Pan’s first—and favorite—lost boy to his greatest enemy. Peter brought me to his island because there were no rules and no grownups to make us mind. He brought boys from the Other Place to Continue Reading

Interview with Christina Henry and Giveaway

December 6, 2010 by Mandi 38 Comments

Who is Christina Henry? Give us the low down. I’m a thirtysomething (OK, almost fortysomething) mom of one boy and I’ve been happily married for eleven years. When I’m not writing or helping my son build robots out of Legos I like to run long distances, bake sweet things (this is one of the many reasons that I run), and read as much as I can. I really enjoy watching movies where people get eaten by monsters – The Host, Jaws, Alien, and Night of the Living Dead are some of my favorites. Continue Reading
