My favorite novellas have tended to be set in series where I’ve already read multiple books. It is a great way to tell a story about a side character or expand on some details of some of the current main characters that maybe are only in the author’s head. The Transplanted Tales series takes characters […]
The Unbalanced Equation is a standalone book being billed for fans of The Hating Game and The Love Hypothesis. I wanted to love this book and I had extremely high hopes for it especially since I’m a huge fan of stories of women in STEM. Sometimes I’ve found you just don’t like characters which taints […]
Seanan McGuire has built a fantastic world in the October Daye series. A world rich in characters, histories, prophecies and magic. Toby McGuire is a hero in this world and in Be the Serpent she is about to be tested in ways she maybe wasn’t prepared for. This book ended up darker than some of the […]
If you ever wondered if big blue aliens with tails was your special kind of kink anything by Ruby Dixon will answer that question for you. The answer for me was a resounding YES. The Corsairs: Kaspar is the second book of the Corsair Brothers series following a band of space pirate brothers and the […]
The Veronica Speedwell series follows lady sleuth Veronica as she seems to fall into dangerous plot, kidnappings and murders. In An Impossible Imposter, it looked like she was going to have a better time of it all. All she needs to do is go to an estate in her role as a Lepidopterist to look […]

Veronica, Lepidopterist by trade, is no stranger to royalty since she is the illegitimate (or legitimate sort of […]
I really enjoyed You’ve Got Mail when it came out and the idea, that if you talked to someone you knew and didn’t like in person on paper or in emails would you feel differently. The Undertaking of Hart and Mercy was a play on this concept in a fantasy world where spirits who haven’t […]
I am a huge fan of the Nightmare Before Christmas and have seen it so many times that I was immediately interested in revisiting the characters of that story. It is hard to recapture the brilliance and wonder that you felt the first time you see a show like that and Long Live the Pumpkin […]
Echoes, is the first book the Echoes duology, maybe trilogy I’m not sure but it will twist your head and make you wonder the entire time what is going on, much like this show Lost or The Maze Runner. What is real, what is happening, who can be trusted. Well the short answer is I […]
Veronica Speedwell series has been a lot of fun so far and A Murderous Relation, the fifth book of the series is no exception. Veronica, a lepidopterist (someone who studies butterflies) by trade, and adventurer by accident has just stumbled head first into another mystery. It is amazing how many times she gets both herself […]
