The nitty-gritty: A masterfully written and plotted sci-fi horror story, The Sixth Nik combines grotesque imagery and body horror with unexpected depth and emotion. One thing I’ve come to expect with a new Daniel Kraus book is that I never know what to expect, and The Sixth Nik is yet another great example of Kraus’s […]
Welcome to Buffy’s Corner, where I take a look at what’s coming up this week on the blog! I’m linking up with The Sunday Post over at Kimberly’s blog, The Caffeinated Reviewer. First of all, happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there! (I’m including fur baby dads too, of course) My week was […]

Welcome to Future Fiction, my reimagining of the Waiting on Wednesday meme! There are so many amazing new books coming out, that I can no longer pick just one. My goal with Future Fiction is to share at least three new books each week, a combination of recent cover reveals and books that I’ve recently […]
The nitty-gritty: Despite a fascinating, horrific premise and plenty of emotional hooks, Headlights turned out to be a disappointing reading experience. I am a huge C.J. Leede fan, let’s get that out of the way first. Her last book, American Rapture, made my top five books of 2024, so I was confident I would love Headlights […]

Well, summer has arrived in full force. We actually had to run the air conditioning a couple of times:-( But I really shouldn’t […]
The nitty-gritty: Naomi Kritzer explores the perils of pregnancy and childbirth in Obstetrix, a tense, near future thriller with thoughtful themes. I didn’t really know what to expect from Obstetrix, but I was pleasantly surprised! It’s hard to describe this book with just one genre label, but I guess I would call it a near-future […]

The nitty-gritty: Mark, Astrid and the gang return in the third installment of Rob Hart’s high octane Assassins Anonymous series. Get ready for a wild ride! “Lulu is the best,” Booker says. “A real sweetheart. Unless she’s calling the Russians now to tell them we’re on our way. But I trust her.” I pause and […]
