Our main point of view is Jolene Garcia, who is a news reporter. She does on air reporting for her special segments. Jolene works very hard to develop contacts, find breaking stories and report new angles. She is under a lot of pressure as the station moves to more digital reporting in real time with […]
Small Gods of Calamity has a really interesting premise. A detective, Kim Han-gil, works as a police officer. His unit has been investigating a string of suicides that haven’t made a lot of sense. Han-gil knows they are not suicides but a parasitic spirit in the host that drives the host to suicide or killing […]
Aftermarket Afterlife is the thirteenth book in the Incryptid series and I’d like to say it was lucky number thirteen but I struggled to finish it. I will say I have read so many of Seanan McGuire’s books and short stories (somewhere in the realm of 60ish stories) and usually they are a great read for […]
Hunterland is the first book in a new series by the same name. It seems like it is supposed to be a lot like Supernatural, Grim or maybe even the new Nancy Drew. Teenagers hunting supernatural things roll into town with their FBI (not really) father after a few suicides happen in a small town. […]
I liked the characters in The Catch, eventually. At first, they felt like caricatures which were ridiculous, rather than real people, playing roles instead of feeling like banter. As they connected more as people, and talked to each other, it felt less like a performance and more like real life. It also seemed like even […]
Assistant to the Villain looks like a stand alone novel. It isn’t; it is definitely book one of some larger series. It is also is being marketed at as adult, this is MG or YA at best really. But if you keep those things in mind, I think there is some fun to be had. […]
Trying to keep her head above water, paying off her deceased parents outstanding debts, keeping the house, and keeping all her younger siblings with her together and out of foster care, leads a bright woman to take on a secret persona. It’s only when her high school crush who served in the military comes over […]
Mists of the Highlands is the first book of the Fae Highlanders series which describes itself as a cross between Outlander and Dark Fever, both books I loved. I have wanted to capture the magic I felt when reading Outlander and hoped this new series would scratch that itch. I love the concept of going […]
A half vampire-half witch grows up in the unique town of paranormals hiding in plain sight, but she’s ready to see the big world out there. Meanwhile a werewolf whose existence has been long and rather lonely hiding out among the humans catches sight of a woman who makes even his wolf side sit up […]
I’m not sure how to feel about Deep Tide. The main characters seemed likeable enough. Leyla has her own bakery cafe and catering business. I love that. She has two brothers who are cops. She lives on a beautiful island near the ocean which is a small community. The opening is the oldest brother’s wedding […]
