Posted August 17, 2021 by Tammy in 4 1/2 stars, Reviews / 19 Comments

The nitty-gritty: More action, more danger, more twists and higher stakes, The Exiled Fleet is an enormously fun sequel. Space opera fans will not want to miss this series! I love when publishers choose to release a sequel only months after the publication of the first book, and now Tor has done that with J.S. […]

The nitty-gritty: A gritty, desert-like setting, high stakes action and vividly drawn characters make this a standout science fiction adventure.

ADRIFT by W. Michael Gear – Review

ADRIFT by W. Michael Gear – Review
Posted June 7, 2021 by Tammy in 4 1/2 stars, Reviews / 32 Comments

The nitty-gritty: Gear kills it in his latest Donovan installment, a high-octane adventure that is almost impossible to put down. “How bad can it be?” Dek wondered. “If it’s just people, like Tal says, we knock a couple of heads. If it’s beasties, we’ve got rifles. Problem solved.” How bad indeed…Gear’s Donovan series is still […]

The nitty-gritty: A bawdy, irreverent and joyful adventure, The Blacktongue Thief is an excellent start to an exciting series. When listening for danger, one must never mistake silence for safety. Color me surprised and delighted by Christopher Buehlman’s traditional fantasy debut! I wasn’t sure what to expect but I did not expect this. Buehlman takes […]

COMPOSITE CREATURES by Caroline Hardaker – Review
Posted April 13, 2021 by Tammy in 4 1/2 stars, Reviews / 21 Comments

The nitty-gritty: A peculiar, melancholy but ultimately uplifting futuristic story, beautifully written.  Composite Creatures is a strange, heartbreaking story that completely took me by surprise. I want to make sure my review is spoiler free, because this is one of those books where you should discover its secrets for yourself. And in fact, it wasn’t […]

WHISPER DOWN THE LANE by Clay McLeod Chapman – Review
Posted April 8, 2021 by Tammy in 4 1/2 stars, Reviews / 14 Comments

The nitty-gritty: Meticulously crafted and mind-bendingly creepy, Whisper Down the Lane is a riveting page-turner that’s hard to put down. Whisper Down the Lane is an extremely unsettling, paranoia-fueled psychological thriller that takes its ideas from some real life events and twists them into something new and horrifying. I wasn’t sure what to expect from […]
