The nitty-gritty: A multilayered murder mystery with supernatural overtones, Senseless flawlessly captures the essence of seedy Los Angeles. Senseless is a Los Angeles based murder mystery full of twists and secrets, and I absolutely loved it. This isn’t your typical police procedural, though, although fans of that genre will find lots to love. Malfi adds […]

DON’T SLEEP WITH THE DEAD by Nghi Vo – Review

DON’T SLEEP WITH THE DEAD by Nghi Vo – Review
Posted April 11, 2025 by Tammy in 3 stars, Reviews / 23 Comments

The nitty-gritty: I loved the magical worldbuilding and stellar writing, but the plot felt scattered and confusing, resulting in a story with mixed results. Don’t Sleep With the Dead is a companion novella to Nghi Vo’s The Chosen and the Beautiful, a magical retelling of The Great Gatsby which I read almost four years ago […]

A werewolf with a bottomless stomach.” The cover of When the Wolf Comes Home is a bit misleading. This isn’t […]

Posted April 4, 2025 by Tammy in 3 1/2 stars, Reviews / 20 Comments

The nitty gritty: A woman on the run encounters mysteries and horrors on a derelict space ship, in this scary but uneven space thriller. I can’t resist a good sci-fi horror story, and once again S.A. Barnes gives her fans a fast-paced, edge-of-your-seat thriller with some good jump scares and plenty of atmosphere. Although Cold […]

WHEN WE WERE REAL by Daryl Gregory – Review

WHEN WE WERE REAL by Daryl Gregory – Review
Posted April 3, 2025 by Tammy in 4 stars, Reviews / 14 Comments

The nitty-gritty: A kooky, feel-good road trip story set in a Matrix-like world, When We Were Real explores the meaning of life in a humorous, heartfelt way. “Getting inebriated inside a sim was like turning yourself into a cartoon—and then turning on your cartoon television to watch the Simpsons watch Itchy and Scratchy.” Not only […]
