Review: PURR Passive Income Power™ by Bradley Morgan

★★★★ PURR Passive Income Power™ by Bradley Morgan

If you’re looking for a high-energy introduction to making money in the digital age, then PURR by Bradley Morgan is a wonderful place to start. With his unique branding, complete with a bevy of acronyms and trademarked self-improvement techniques, Morgan takes readers through the many ups and downs of working for yourself, and generating passive income along the way.

The process is pitched in a straightforward way, and while the inspirational quotes peppered throughout can be slightly disruptive, the intention of the book is clear and admirable. Bradley Morgan comes across as a man who was once forced to […]

Review: Money Rx by Joseph C. Newtz

★★★★ Money Rx by Joseph C. Newtz

Money Rx: Your Prescription for Financial Success by Joseph C. Newtz provides a font of wisdom from a humble advisor.

Most books that promise to improve your life or give you expert advice tend to be self-aggrandizing and can even be condescending at times. On the other hand, there are books like Money Rx that are straightforward and refreshingly honest. This book doesn’t make any unrealistic promises, but it does break down various issues of financial management into elements that are easy to understand, even for a layperson.

Starting with a blunt account of who the author is, how […]

★★★★½ SEER: The Ghosts of Gray Fable

SEER: The Ghosts of Gray Fable by Eli Bloom is a chilling and thrilling YA novel.

With a bold plot line and an unforgettable protagonist, SEER instantly stands out as a paranormal classic. Author Eli Bloom captures youth, innocence and courage within these pages, while brushing on topical subjects that will strike a chord in readers of any age.

Review: The Unusual Second Life of Thomas Weaver by Shawn Inmon

★★★★★ The Unusual Second Life of Thomas Weaver: Episode One

The Unusual Second Life of Thomas Weaver by Shawn Inmon is a gripping story of the ultimate “What if?”

The time travel genre is populated by a number of standard premises, meaning that multiple authors have discussed many of the same philosophical and ethical issues over the years. In The Unusual Second Life of Thomas Weaver the classic time-traveling tropes are present, but they seamlessly weave between highly developed characters and an emotionally gripping story line that makes readers forget that they’re reading fiction.

Thomas Weaver has not had a particularly good life, and after 55 years on the […]
