I love this series. I love the Harker siblings. I especially love Botheration, our lovable Hellhound companion. This second volume is filled to the brim with a low-level anxiety that is the result of the complications the siblings encountered in the first book. They’re keeping an apocalyptic level secret, even from their own superiors. Everyone […]
This book wasn’t at all what I expected, based on the title and the cover. I expected it to be high fantasy steeped in Thai mythology. Instead, this book is set in Seattle — I know, I know, it’s on the back cover, but I received an ARC and the back cover copy wasn’t available […]
This book was released a couple of weeks ago, which is lucky for you because you’ll be able to run – not walk – to your local book shop and get this book. And you should, because this one is probably my favorite new author that I’ve read this year. Considering the fact that I […]
I’ll admit to not having read this entire series. I began with my review of book #4, The Serpent in Heaven. This series is an alternate history Western where the United States has been broken into pieces after a second civil war and the west coast has come under the control of Russian royalty. I’ll […]
Everything T Kingfisher (and Ursula Vernon) does is perfect. This is not an exaggeration. Everything I have read under any pen name, I have loved. This story is no different.

There are Valdemar fans and then there are people who haven’t read a Valdemar book yet. I only recently decided to pick up this series which I somehow missed in the prolific reading in my childhood. And I can’t imagine that there is anyone out there who has read it and not enjoyed it. It’s […]
I can’t lie, I’ve been a fan of Gabriela Romero Lacruz since before she was an author and before I even knew her name. I ran across her shop from a social media post ages ago, and the tiger mug I drink my coffee out of makes me smile every time I use it. I […]
I jumped at the chance to review this book based on the synopsis. Gods that are AIs? Well, as someone who’s been thinking people have been a little too worshipful of AIs lately, I was incredibly interested in this book. It wasn’t what I was expecting, to be honest, but I found it intriguing and […]
This review is going to be super unfair of me, because I didn’t finish this book. I didn’t even get close to finishing this book. I would normally never do this, except considering the success of The Passage, I think the author can probably handle my uncharitable opinion, if he were to ever even run […]
