Escapology (Book Review)

Titan Books will release Escapology by Ren Warom on June 14th.


Author Ren Warom's newest book takes readers on an epic journey through the future with Escapology. The book's cover features a very artistic image that gives you some insight into the adventures ahead, and the author does an incredible job of immersing the reader in her futuristic world.

The synopsis for Escapology states:
Shock Pao is not just any Haunt—he’s the best. There isn’t a system that he can’t crack into, no virtual lock he can’t pick, nothing he can’t steal for the right price. Outside virtual world the Slip, though, he’s a Fail—no degree, no job, no affiliations to protect him from angry ex-customers. Of which he has quite a few. So when his ex brings Shock a job which could help him escape his miserable existence, he accepts, little realizing that it will turn out to be his most impossible, illegal and insane assignment yet. Amiga works for Twist Calhoun, one of the toughest crime lords in the Gung, as a Cleaner—assassin. Trapped in a world of kill-or-be-killed, she wants out. But when Shock’s war comes to her, she doesn’t have a choice: it’s her job to bring him to Twist, dead or alive—or it’ll be her head in a bag in Twist’s vault.

Escapology is Ren Warom's debut novel and features a very fast-paced storyline that takes place through the perspective of several different characters. The character that draws your attention most is Shock Pao--a flawed man with his own dark secrets--making him someone that readers can automatically relate to.

The author has done a fantastic job of developing well-rounded characters inside an incredibly immersive plot that manages to keep readers entertained until the very end. The story takes place in a terrifying alternative future and is a cyberthriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Every page offers new twists and turns with Escapology offering a very vivid point about our own futures in this increasing digitized world.

If you love creative, out-of-the box novels with a terrifying sci-fi theme, then look no further than Escapology for $14.95. To learn more, visit the official Titan Books website.

Buffet Bliss or Southern Swing-and-a-Miss? A Bite at Kacey’s in Huntsville

  Walk through the doors of Kacey’s Country Cooking in Huntsville and you’re greeted by the comforting smell of fried chicken, collard greens, and cornbread that could double as perfume for any true Southerner. This is where the buffet line reigns supreme, the sweet tea flows endlessly, and dessert is always just an arm’s reach away. For many locals, Kacey’s is a comfort food paradise. Fans brag about the fried green tomatoes, juicy pork chops, slow-cooked beef tips, and banana pudding that deserves its own holiday. The staff are another highlight—quick with refills, friendly enough to feel like family, and the kind of people who can make a buffet feel like Sunday dinner at grandma’s. But Kacey’s has its critics too. Some diners rave about “the best bang for your buck in town,” while others complain that the food sometimes veers into “straight-from-the-can” territory. Like most buffets, it’s a roll of the dice: hit the line on a good day and you’ll be full and happy; catch it on an...
