THE ANCESTOR by Danielle Trussoni – Review

THE ANCESTOR by Danielle Trussoni – Review
Posted April 16, 2020 by Tammy in 3 stars, Reviews / 29 Comments

The nitty-gritty: A promising start deteriorates into some very odd plot choices and pacing issues, although I adored the author’s atmosphere-infused writing. Have you ever read a book that started out strong—I’m talking five-star strong—but later deteriorated into a much lower rating? Well unfortunately, that’s exactly what happened to me with The Ancestor, I’m very […]

THE AGE OF WITCHES by Louisa Morgan – Review
Posted April 13, 2020 by Tammy in 4 stars, Reviews / 29 Comments

The nitty-gritty:  History, witchcraft and romance collide in Louisa Morgan’s beautifully written story about a secret family lineage. I’m a big fan of Louisa Morgan’s “witch” books, and it’s a given that I’ll read every one she writes. The Age of Witches is another winner, with a wonderfully immersive story and solid writing. I fell […]

The nitty-gritty: A stellar start to a new series, The Book of Koli surprised me in just about every possible way. I’ve read every one of M.R. Carey’s books—or at least the books he’s written under the name M.R. Carey (he has an urban fantasy series written as Mike Carey that I’m dying to read!)—and […]

The nitty-gritty: A cleverly plotted sequel with plenty of mysteries, Titan’s Day is a strong entry into Stout’s fascinating retro/noir urban fantasy world.

HEARTS OF OAK by Eddie Robson – Review

The nitty-gritty: An inventive and quirky tale, Hearts of Oak was a surprise from start to finish. Well, this was an odd story! And I mean that in a good way. Whatever you think Hearts of Oak is about, be ready to adjust your perceptions, because it started one way, and at about the halfway […]
