2023 is off with a bang! Rebecca Schaeffer is a new to me author and I’m just going to say I am beyond impressed and could not put City of Nightmares the first book in the City Of Nightmares Duology down. Not only was it completely different and surprising, I loved the main broken character […]
I’ve really enjoyed the trilogy for the Arc of a Scythe series. It is necessary to read these books in order. I do think the most pleasure from these stories comes from knowing the characters from reading the trilogy already. There are many moral issues involved from immortality to artificial intelligence. I recommend this series […]
The Luminaries is the first book in The Luminaries; it started as an experiment on twitter where the audience got to direct some of the choices the heroine made and then was converted into a novel. I think because of that, the direction of the story takes a few unexpected twists along the way and sometimes […]
I enjoy the Scholomance series with our point of view from El. It’s surprising since this has been a young adult setting in a high school of horrors. But that’s ok; El is more horrible. lol The thing is she’s not, no matter that she has huge ability. I would definitely start at the […]
Bastille vs. the Evil Librarians is the final book of the Alcatraz vs. the Evil Librarians series where we change PoVs from Alcatraz to Bastille. You might wonder why on book 6 we are changing PoVs but that is easy, because Alcatraz is a blubbering mess for the first half of the book and Bastille […]
The third book in the Stitch In Time series is A Turn of the Tide where we do not go forward in time to the 21st century but back in time to 50 years before the settings of the other books. In this time, Miranda will find a man, she has seen him before as […]
This world’s peoples split about a thousand years ago. Some went to live in the sky on city ships as big as islands, while the other people stayed on the land. Much of that is covered by at least a little water with only a few dry and non-swampy parts. North is a Prince 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 […]
Blake Crouch writes some interesting thought-provoking and twisting stories with questions about morality, humanity and what lines a man might cross to be with his family. Upgrade, another really solid stand-alone novel from the author hits on some great questions about humanity and the road some take. Just because man has the ability to control […]
Ordinary Monsters is the first book in the The Talents trilogy. Talents are people born with some special ability. Some can heal, others manipulate dust, one can animate items into a being, an invisible girl and then there are those that can make their bodies extremely dense and strong to not be hurt. The concept […]
