This is an author who is a favorite of mine and I love magic, so it seemed a great choice for me to read. I do sometimes not like young adult, and this is a high school, so there is a bit of that feeling. But the school terms are life and death, so the […]
The inferno started in The Collapsing Empire continues to build in The Consuming Fire. An emperox and her trusted few must find a way to save as many as possible in this second of tightly connected stories in the Interdependency trilogy. The background, characters, and world-building were introduced in the first book so The Consuming […]
Let me just start by saying Jay Kristoff and Amie Kaufman…you dirty bastards! How could you end the story right there??? How??? It is so cliffy, it is like ending on that time when Jean Luc Picard became borg or the viewers saw Buffy the Vampire slayers tombstone or like 8 different times on LOST. […]
I enjoyed Titanshade last year as a science fiction fantasy with a lot of mystery and thriller woven through the story. Moving on in the Carter Archives series, I already knew the main characters and a bit of the world and its politics. Eric Carter, the homicide detective, human, has been forced to desk duty […]
The zombie apocalypse according to a crow. Yup, you read that right. Imagine a world where technology-obsessed humans, become drooling incoherent zombies who might be whipped into a frenzy at any moment by a shiny screen or a ringing phone? Nobody saw this coming, especially not S.T., a domesticated crow, and the hero/narrator of this […]
For some reason, I thought Thunderhead was the sequel to Scythe and it was the end of the Arc of a Scythe series. After I finished reading, I went to look because, man, it could NOT end there. I wouldn’t call it a cliffhanger but there is so much more I want to know. The […]
I saw the cover and was drawn in; it was cool and different and looks like someone hiding behind themselves. The Seven Experiments was Sci-Fi and Fantasy category of Netgalley when I picked it up. I know that for sure because when I started reading, I thought I messed up and got something from a […]
Salvation Day is a space opera thriller set in the future. The story is told in alternating chapters by the two main characters. Zahra and Jas are linked by their past and now in the present. They have never met really, but some of the same events are key to both their lives. I had […]
What can I say? Craig Shaefer has done something really special in Ghosts of Gotham. He has taken an Edgar Allen Poe story and made it the focus of a mystery that delves into occult, that in itself is a good story. But he has also taken two characters, which on their own might not […]
Titanshade is science fiction fantasy with a lot of mystery and thriller woven through the story. Our main guy is Eric Carter, a homicide detective, a human. He’s a basically good guy but he has the “annoy everyone until the bad guys try to kill you” method of investigation mastered. There were even good guys […]
