This is a collection of novellas from the Drew Hayes world of Villain’s Code. A Night in Hallowville I’m a huge fan of Halloween stories. Halloween episodes of TV are almost always my favorite. This story is about a small town that is taken over by Spooky Trudie. Every September 30th at midnight, Spooky Trudie […]
I am excited to have a new series from Benedict Jacka! I read a bit about the magic on his website before reading the book. It was short reading and gave me a bit more of a foundation for the story. I like the main character, Stephen, who has some long-time friends but really no […]
The Innocent Sleep is the 18th book in the October Daye series. Told from Tybalt’s PoV, we get to experience the events in the same timeline as book 17 from the other group of characters working to free those captured in Titania’s illusion. While the shift in PoV took a little time to become accustomed […]
The Unorthodox Chronicles series is written by Jim Butcher’s son, James. As with most urban fantasy, each book further develops the world and characters so I would read them in order. Often when starting a series, I am just trying to understand how everything works. Now I wanted to see what the story would be […]

The Iron Druid Chronicles series plot is drawing in tighter and more intense as Atticus and his allies are aligning against Loki and those who have sided him when, in the near future, the crazy god unleashes Ragnarok on earth […]

The world has a very Middle Eastern type setting with sands, people with brown skin who eat yogurt etc. There are many different religions with gods, some seem the same some are different. There used to be guardians that distributed […]
The title and that gorgeous cover caught my eye when I was considering fall books for Spooky Reading Season. Ava Morgyn is a new to me author and I didn’t pay close attention to the synopsis or the buzz about The Witches of Bone Hill when I took it up and started reading. What a […]
I was so excited when I learned there would be more story in the world of A Darker Shade of Magic. The ending of that trilogy was so powerful with sacrifices by some of our main characters. So I was thrilled to get the next phase of their stories. Many of the old characters and […]
Godkiller is the first book in the series of the same name following an unlikely band as they make their way to the land the gods. Kissen’s entire family was killed as a sacrifice to the gods and she is the only survivor making her way by killing gods that are rising up. Inara is […]
John Scalzi is usually an author I can expect to open his books, read them, laugh a bit through the story and in general have a good time. Most of his stand alone books have been an interesting and have some connection to a show of concept everyone is semi familiar with. Red Shirts was […]
