Deadly Storm (Richard Castle)

I just finished reading Deadly Storm.  And it was amazing!  I'm normally not one for detective fiction....usually I just can't find a series that really catches my attention.  Either the writing is too bland, or I don't like the detective, or it's too violent, or some other reason.  But, as always, Richard Castle never fails to please.  I love the show, and I own all the books (even though I've not had the chance to read them yet).  Condensing this story into a graphic novel was a great idea; it made it super easy to read; and I was so engaged in it, I was done before I even knew what happened.  I really, really recommend it!

When Derrick Storm, private detective, takes on a case to find a woman's missing husband, he has no idea of what he is getting himself into.  Before long, he finds himself running for his life, getting arrested, and getting tied up with a CIA agent who might actually be rogue.  It's a fast paced story of drama, intrigue, and action.

I'm afraid I can't tell much more; it's short enough that I don't want to start giving away the more juicy bits of the plot; besides, you should totally just read it for yourself instead of relying on me to tell you about it ;)

Christmas Money and Castle

My Monday night companions

One of the biggest disappointments of this semester was not being able to watch Castle.  The campus is getting cable service through a new provider, and for some reason, I can't get ABC.  And because I've been too busy, I haven't had the time to load the episodes online and catch up.  (I might need to do that over this break).  I've greatly missed Nathan Fillion and Stana Katic's antics over the past couple of months.

One of the fun bonuses of Christmas is getting Christmas cash from relatives who want to get me something, but don't exactly know what I would want. Heck, sometimes, I don't even know what I want, haha.  So, I was messing around in a bookstore, and happened to come across a little beauty of a book: the newest Castle adventure.  I already have Heat Wave, Naked Heat, and Heat Rises.  This is the first graphic novel in the Castle canon: Deadly Storm.  I've only just started, and I'm very excited about it.  Once I finish, I'll be sure to post a little bit more about it.  Right now, I'm just enjoying a bit of Castle after a too-long hiatus.

Hope all of you had a wonderful holiday; I know I did :)

Castle Season 3

Everybody get out your calendars and save the date of September 20th! That night, season 3 of Castle officially starts! I can't wait! It's totally my favorite show, and the brother and I watch it every Monday night :) I seriously can't wait until then! If you haven't seen Castle yet, you can check out episodes and other information on

ABC.com

For those of you who are unfamiliar with the series, basically, its a crime show/comedy. Richard Castle is a mystery writer who gets pulled into an investigation when a series of murders are conducted that mirror the unusual murder methods in his books. He quickly falls for the tough-as-nails female homicide detective Kate Beckett, and follows her around as an unofficial partner to help him gather information for his next mystery series. Definite chemistry starts to arise between the two of them, but neither one has expressed their feelings.

As a promotional item, Castle's book, inspired by Kate, was actually published and sold in stores. It's called Heat Wave, and star Detective Nikki Heat. The second book in the series is currently in the works: Naked Heat.
