The nitty-gritty: Another unique world from Schwab, a touch of Shakespeare, and a fast-paced story that flew by much too fast. Humans were too fragile for this fight, but the Sunai were too few to do it alone, and even if three could wage a war on thousands, the Malchai and Corsai weren’t foolish enough […]
![Over-Booked [51] – A Book Haul Post](https://i0.wp.com/booksbonesbuffy.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/ob-7-2.jpg?resize=200%2C200)
Hello fellow book hoarders! Welcome to my [randomly scheduled] book haul! I’m linking up with Stacking the Shelves at Tynga’s Reviews and The Sunday Post at The Caffeinated Book Reviewer. These are the books that I’ve acquired in the last three weeks, and I can’t wait to read all of them:-) Physical books: Flying by […]
It’s that time again, the beginning of a new month! July is crazy over-flowing with new releases in SFF, and as usual I’ve requested way too many, LOL! So I’m dividing this post up into two sections: books that are must-reads, and then books that I’ll read if I have time. But first, the most […]
The nitty-gritty: A slowly drawn-out mystery, beautifully written with subtle tension, that unfortunately didn’t live up to my expectations. Having read lots of enthusiastic reviews for Tremblay’s A Head Full of Ghosts, I was eager to try his latest. Tremblay has a talent for establishing a creepy atmosphere with very little information to go on. […]

Waiting on Wednesday is hosted by Breaking the Spine, and is a fun way to share upcoming books that you’re excited about with other bloggers and readers. Can’t remember where I stumbled across this book, but it looks suitably creepy and it’s definitely calling my name! Alice’s house stands at a gateway between worlds. Now […]
Other than my normal Goodreads challenge, the only other reading challenge I’m doing this year is Worlds Without End’s 2016 Women of Genre Fiction Reading Challenge, and since we’re at the half-way mark in 2016, I thought it would be a good idea to see where I am. The rules are to read SFF fiction by […]
The nitty-gritty: Despite the author’s fluid writing style and evocative imagery, this story lacked a solid plot and sympathetic characters, and with its over-the-top violence, it just wasn’t for me. Every once in a while I try a new small publisher, and I’ve found some great ones by taking chances and stepping out of my […]
This has definitely been the month of giveaways here on the blog! So many kind publishers and authors have given me the opportunity to host giveaways of their books, and today’s giveaway is AWESOME. I recently read and loved Kristi Charish’s new urban fantasy The Voodoo Killings (you can read my review here), but was shocked […]
Last fall a new band of demon hunters hit the scene with Bookburners – the gritty Urban Fantasy presented in 13 episodes from Serial Box Publishing. Every week fans tuned in to see what new trouble a black-ops team of magic hunters had found themselves in, and now the gang is all back for a second round! A […]

Waiting on Wednesday is hosted by Breaking the Spine, and is a fun way to share upcoming books that you’re excited about with other bloggers and readers. Steven Savile is a new-to-me author, but I was immediately drawn to the beautiful cover of his latest: A brilliantly rendered story about obsession and one man’s attempt […]
