Dawn Volume 2: Return Of The Goddess by Joseph Michael Linsner

My rating: 4 of 5 stars
As I said before I found this tpb along with its predecessor at a used book shop. In great condition though it is a 4th printing as well.

This is set in a more modern time then the previous volume, though Dawn would be timeless. It starts out with two witches in the woods performing a ceremony of some sort, when they are victimized by some zealots. More of them is discovered later. The girls run of complaining about people not understanding the true meaning of wicca, and being wiccan. Then they talk of what it means to themselves.

Without giving to much away one of them does a ritual to call forth the Goddess Dawn patron saint of the witches. Unlike the first volume “Lucifer’s Halo” this volume has Dawn in a much more active role. She heads out to avenge her witches.

I personally love the much more intimate relationship Micheal Linsner uses in his portrayal of Jehovah and Lucifer. We saw some of it in the first volume, true. In Return of the Goddess this is more of a driving theme to the plot.

Once again I am very happy with the Dawn novella and will recommend anyone that can get their hands on a copy read it. At the very least check it out for his amazing art forms.

The Lake House by James Patterson

My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is one of my favorite stories by Mr. Patterson. In this exciting sequel to “When the Wind Blows” we are reintroduced to Max, Oz, Ic, Peter, Wendy and Matthew the famous bird children from The School. It was with out a doubt a page turner for me and anyone that enjoyed the first story will undoubtedly enjoy this one as well.

Sam was getting up in the years fifteen ya’ know.  His ever slighter frame and weakening of age prevented him from going down stairs, so we had been taking him out the front door.  Most of the time he would take care of business and come in.  Occasionally he would get it in his head that there was an adventure just round the corner or down the driveway.

Two weeks ago he made a decision that his mother couldn’t make it was his time.  Getting weaker the other dogs taking challenging his authority he had to take that last adventure.  Ever the accommodating friend he was till the very end.

This is a tribute video to a long time companion and great friend. He is on the last great adventure.
