N A K reviewed Atrocities by JEREMY SHIPP
Jeremy Shipp brings you The Atrocities, a haunting gothic fantasy of a young ghost's education
…An interesting side quest
3 stars
Not a lot of books include capybaras. If you like gothic fiction odd families or architectural horror this might be the book for you. I found the story engaging and even though it’s not a genre I usually read I am glad I did.
N A K reviewed Blues Brothers by Daniel de Visé
A great compilation
4 stars
A well researched and written story of the actors, act, and film. A lot of time spent on the rise of the now well known improve groups and SNL and Belushi (for obvious reasons). The movie is of course covered well. Overall a great read.

Don’t put your trust in revolutions. They always come around again. That’s why they’re called revolutions. People die, and nothing changes.

A great companion to Andor
5 stars
I enjoyed this story. Especially how it wraps up showing what political reality is at the height of an authoritarian ruler. Reading while Andor season 2 is releasing was interesting to say the least. It’s not perfect there are some parts I wonder about but if this is going to be a series I’m hoping those items are longer term setup. Overall a strong recommend.
N A K reviewed Digital Deception by Perry Carpenter
A good guide
4 stars
As the author says at the beginning “Deception has been a part of the human story since the very beginning”. In his book Perry lays out the newish digital tools being used to deceive and misdirect, and the human foibles that make all of us susceptible. Written in a conversational tone with plenty of toools and suggested exercises to become familiar with what we’re up against.
