Review: Capture the Sun by Jessie Mihalik

Space intrigue, thieving, hoverbike battles, enemies to lovers, corrupt governments, politics, petty revenge, blowing things up, and teleportation I whole-heartedly recommend this book and series. And author in general. I used to be like “HEA romances are boringzo because it’s all irritating couples drama that would be solved if they just talked to each other […]

Review: The Ferryman by Justin Cronin

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 […]

Review: Conquer the Kingdom by Jennifer Estep

I regret that I had to hold this review due to the HarperCollins Strike, however, it seems that they’ve reached a tentative agreement with the union, and I feel badly that the author was caught in the middle of this, so I’m going to go ahead and allow this review to post. This books is […]

Review: Emily Wilde’s Encyclopaedia of Faeries by Heather Fawcett

Perhaps it was the recent ending of Dracula Daily, but Emily’s journal here reminded me strongly of Mina’s journal. They had the same feel to them, so if you like the one, you will most likely enjoy the other. Instead of vampires, however, Emily is dealing with faeries. They are slightly less bloody, but just […]

Review: Bindle Punk Bruja by Desideria Mesa

I really enjoyed this book, even though it made me seethe with rage. You see, Rose is a woman in a world where women have no agency. She’s trying to own and run a business, and is interacting with men who see women as objects for them to use and nothing more. It’s infuriating. And […]

Review: Reluctant Immortals by Gwendolyn Kiste

I don’t think that this book was for me. For me, it lacked the depth that I was expecting. Possibly because, while I’ve read Dracula, I’ve never read Jane Eyre. I’m sure there’s nuance I’m missing, and as always your mileage may very. I didn’t enjoy this. Most of the book was a repetition of […]

Review: Westside Lights by WM Akers

So I didn’t realize, when I picked it up, that this book is the 3rd in a series. I haven’t read the first two. Maybe I wouldn’t have felt quite as lost if I had read those, but I didn’t, and here we are. Much like Gilda with her lover, Cherub, I went through this […]

Review: The Violence by Delilah S Dawson

This book was really good, very tight, super intense… and I don’t think I can finish it. I don’t know what I was thinking when I requested it, other than I’m a fan of Delilah in general. Thrillers are not my cup of tea, usually. I’m anxious by nature so I don’t enjoy making myself […]

Review: Paper & Blood by Kevin Hearne

I could swear that I reviewed this book last year, because I remember writing about how good it was to see [redacted character*] again after the Iron Druid series. Except that review is no where in my archives, so I guess I’ll be writing it out again! *Please note that if you don’t want to […]
