Holy cow, it’s April already, people! 2023 is flying by, at least it seems that way. I read about half of my March TBR, which is sad, but I’ll be squeezing a lot of those missed books in this month (especially Rubicon and Moths, ugh!) In addition to those, of course I have a good […]

The nitty-gritty: An excellent sequel, Hel’s Eight brings readers more of Ten Low‘s desolate and dangerous desert setting and larger than life characters, with just the right balance of action and emotion. Last year I read Stark Holborn’s Ten Low and loved it, and I’m so happy that the author decided to continue Ten’s story. […]
