A single individual is enough for hope to exist, and that individual can be you, says His Holiness Pope Francis in this searing TED Talk delivered directly from Vatican City. In a hopeful message to people of all faiths, to those who have power as well as those who don't, the spiritual leader provides illuminating commentary on the world as we currently find it and calls for equality, solidarity and tenderness to prevail. "Let us help each other, all together, to remember that the 'other' is not a statistic, or a number," he says. "We all need each other."

Candlewicke 13: Death's Mortal Plague by Milan Sergent is the fifth and final book in the un-coming of age fantasy and magic Candlewicke 13, preceded by book one, Curse of the McRavens, book two, The Tombstone Forest, book three, Under the Crescent Moon, and book four, The 13th Hour Begins. This installment picks up with Valor McRaven and his younger, but really very old, sister Doomsy Gloomsy, alongside their recently reunited ragtag group of friends and compatriots of the coven. Hoopenfangia remains under threat of the Grim Warlock's Thirteenth Hour, which Valor is fearful cannot be stopped, aided by Death's Vial of Mortal Plague suspected to be at the helm of the Army of Ancients. The Candlewicke coven is left with little to press forward with as a draconian decree against the use of magic for anything but benevolence. The Hermetic Order, loss of life, murder, the possibility of betrayal by Valor's parents, and a whole host of horrible setbacks make their mission more difficult and more urgent than any could have imagined. Death's Mortal Plague is a spectacular closing of the Candlewicke 13 series and Milan Sergent delivers it with writing that shimmers as brightly as the magic itself. Once more the coven is faced with the impossible and once more Sergent maneuverers them deftly through a sharp plot and subplots that keep a reader fully immersed. I love the tension and fallibility of even the most likable characters, humanizing a pack that is anything but human. There is a scene where spirits Genola and Ambergis redress perceived offensives in a display that is laced with exceptionally vivid imagery. “The wicked energies sent all the chairs sliding away from the table and against the wall.” The sense of danger and urgency and sacrifice really ties together the coven and those who support them at all costs against all manner of evil. I admit I'm a little bit jealous of those who may just be beginning the series now and in the future on account of them having the opportunity to binge on Candlewicke 13 all at once. Still, the finale was definitely worth the wait and I'm so chuffed to have bought the ticket and taken the wild ride.

Alex in Femiland by Gonzalo Munevar is a novel following the stories of two college professors, Raul and Alex. Both coming from very high educational and familial backgrounds, they come to the Sound College to pursue their needs and desires. While at the Sound College, Alex struggles to find peace with his internal conflicts, while trying to survive in a place where his ideas are seen as unpopular. Both Raul and Alex are really well rounded and interesting characters. The author did a really good job describing their back stories and their personalities. Through interaction with other characters, the author begins to sculpt a character portrait in our minds. While both are characters that have opposite ideas, thoughts, and personality, the friendship/relationship between the two is quite interesting and fun to read about. The Sound College is a well thought out environment/setting to base the novel in, and the author's efforts really show. It has been clearly established that the institution is very prestigious, and a school that encourages students to think and build their own ideas. It is also a school that is strict on maintaining racial and gender equality on campus. Moreover, it is a school that does things differently from most. This is a very original setting, something that is very new and fresh and inviting.
“I never gave much thought to magic until the day I went for a walk through the woods.” In The Unexplained by David Serra, a young man, Scott, encounters a strange magician who holds him captive when he tries to cross a woodland bridge. If he wants to be set free, he has to pass the magician’s test: to retrieve the magician’s wand and silver key located in a scary tunnel. He has half an hour to complete it. Should he refuse or fail, he will be turned into a deer. What will Scott do? And what is that loud growling noise coming from the tunnel? Despite its short length, the story premise is intriguing and the plot is well-developed, leaving enough room for evoking fascination and a sense of adventure from readers. Set in unspecified modern times, it fits into a realistic mode but bends the rules of normal experiences. The narrative is straightforward and uncomplicated, making the unbelievable seem real while letting the action and spooky elements tickle the senses. Protagonist Scott is unassuming but quickly shines as someone with a heroic quality as he tries to complete the magician's weird, sudden test. There are obvious lessons to be learned here: being courageous, sharp-minded, and most important of all - especially in The Unexplained - being honest. All in all, this short tale by David Serra is quick, bizarre, funny, and entertaining. I look forward to reading more of his work. Note to readers: you will love the ending.

Mobster For Hire is a work of action and realistic fiction penned by author R. J. Matthews. Written for adults due to its thematic content, coarse language, and graphic violence, this intense novel is filled with the thrills and spills of the realities of life with the mob. Marty is our central figure, for whom life has always been a game of chance. Marty considers himself a smart gambler with an eye for good odds, so when he has the chance to become a mobster for hire, he takes it, figuring it’s a good deal. But what follows is a life of twists and turns he didn’t account for, and an action-packed tale filled with danger, drama, and death. Author R. J. Matthews does a really great job of centering readers right at the heart of mobster action and danger throughout this exciting novel. I liked the sense of cinematic realism in the ways in which the mobsters speak to one another and bring Marty into the fold; it reminded me of a lot of the old mafia moves like The Godfather, a real sense of enjoyment and casual attitude toward what they do. And when things get serious, the narrative really takes off with a great plot that is sure to engross readers through some of the murkier and more grisly moments of the plot. Overall, Mobster For Hire ticks all the boxes of a successful gangster action-adventure, and is highly recommended for fans of the genre.
