Happy July, Gatherers and Grand Geeks! The temperature rises as I write this despite whatever overcast consumes the horizon. Soon that sun will just burn it away entirely and the blazing summer season consumes all of us. But seriously, as we near the celebration of our birth as a nation I’d like to say how much I love this time of year, especially for the chance to relax and cool down while enjoying some wonderful indie books. So let’s see what I will suggest for you this week!

When worlds collide within the Grimm universe of Zenescope, you know it’s going to turn into a full on slobberknocker. So is the case between Anabelle “Belle” DiMarco and Peyton “Black Knight” Parks. Sure, they are both a paragon of virtue and fight the good fight for justice but, is the world big enough for the two of them when their paths cross? Two different personalities colliding after all. Honestly, at this point its hard to say who’d win the fight. What say you?!

This particular tale takes a very dark turn almost from the get go. Apparently a young lady from America’s heartland wants to seek vengeance on a serial killer that murdered her family. Let’s just ignore the fact that she hails from a family with a dark past itself but, how about we combine the fact that evil hardly begins or ends with her father’s killer? Read on!
