Extremely enjoyable, The Bullet Catcher’s Daughter was everything I expected and yet wasn’t – but in the best way possible of course. What I expected was a Victorian steampunk fantasy. It felt like that’s what it was but it didn’t have steampunk elements nor any fantasy elements. Instead it was… Read more »

Review: Dead Heat by Patricia Briggs
Another great installment in the Alpha & Omega series, Dead Heat takes Charles and Anna to see Charles’ long time human friend Joseph whose family breeds horses. They go there with the intention of buying a horse for Anna but find themselves mixed up in an investigation of attempted murder… Read more »
Review: Red Rising and Golden Son by Pierce Brown
Golden Son blows its predecessor Red Rising out of the water in so many ways. But it wouldn’t have been able to do that without the excellent groundwork that was laid. Where as I only seriously enjoyed Red Rising, I absolutely loved Golden Son. Kicking it off with the fireworks… Read more »
Review: Touch by Claire North
Touch falls outside of my normally preferred genre of fantasy. Even with it’s strong paranormal / supernatural type element in that the main character’s soul can body jump it is still in my opinion very much a contemporary thriller book. But I am really glad that I decided to give it… Read more »
Review: Six-Gun Snow White by Catherynn Valente
Six-Gun Snow White is a creative western style retelling. I loved the setting of the old west and how it featured her not as royalty but as the half Native American, half Caucasian daughter of some sort of silver tycoon. Her mother didn’t really marry her father of her own… Read more »
Guest Review: Accused by Lisa Scottoline
There are so many applaudable characteristics about Accused by Lisa Scottoline that I don’t know where to begin! For starters, there’s strong female characters with successful careers, suspense in the form of a murder case that is being reopened after 6 years, and the most hilarious Italian family that made… Read more »
Review: The Boy Who Lost Fairyland by Catherynne M. Valente
It all makes sense now, I must be a changeling! Have you ever felt NOT normal? Like you don’t belong? I know I have and so does Hawthorn aka Thomas Rood in The Boy Who Lost Fairyland. Because he knows there simply must be more to life and all everyday objects… Read more »
Review: Shadow Scale by Rachel Hartman
Shadow Scale had a much more complex feel to it then the first book Seraphina. I personally consider these books to be adult fantasy with crossover young adult appeal. Not because they have adult content – they don’t. But because while Seraphina is young she is for all intents and… Read more »
Review: Boring Girls by Sara Taylor
Phew, I’m not really sure how I feel after reading Boring Girls. What an unsatisfying, yet perfect ending to Rachel’s crazy story filled with metal music, struggles of making it in a band, and what happens when one bad day ruins your entire outlook on life. All the links are to… Read more »
Review: Dirty Magic by Jaye Wells
Dirty Magic was a great read. It is urban fantasy but focused on magic instead of on various supernatural species such as many UF series are that I’ve read. I felt it was a refreshing change from that. Oh don’t get me wrong there was a type of were in… Read more »
