Much like the previous book in the Hawthorne Saga, Act of Will, Will Power is a light and fun read. It continues to follow the adventures of William Hawthorne. By the time you pick up this second book you've decided you like Will otherwise you probably wouldn't have grabbed this book. Will is an unu...

The book starts with him hoping to become a full actor in his company because it is his eighteenth birthday but things quickly fall apart for Will and he finds himself on the run and in the company of some ...

Turns out it was a change of pace, but not such a nice one!Shakespears Macbeth is pretty depressing. Imagine how depressing the story becomes in modern language with fully devel...
