They say “don’t judge a book by its cover,” and sometimes I agree with that and sometimes I don’t. In the case of Auraria, however, I’m begging you to not judge it by the cover. When I was first asked to review Tim Westover’s latest, I was left a little flat by its nondescript gray […]
Writing this review is such a dilemma for me. I absolutely loved the story and the creative ideas Black has come up with. And the story ends with a cliffhanger that made me scream with rage. But as in many other indie novels I’ve read and reviewed, I have issues with the writing. And if […]
This post is packed with information on Ednah Walters and her most recent release, Betrayed, so get yourself an ice tea and a snack and kick back and read on. I am happy to be a part of Ednah’s blog tour, and a proud member of Team Fire! First up, my review of the book, […]
Roberta L. Smith is not only a talented writer, but she is the sister of one of my best friends. So when she asked me to read and review her latest book, I jumped at the chance. She has three books under her belt, all featuring gruff but loveable Mickey McCoy, a psychic who can […]
One of Battle’s most popular characters is at it again, the intrepid and satisfyingly complicated Jonathan Quinn, cleaner extraordinaire. This is the sixth Jonathan Quinn novel, and they just keep getting better and better. The Destroyed may be my favorite of Brett’s books to date, as it combines highly entertaining and suspenseful action with truly […]
(Caution: This review contains spoilers for The Taker, the first book in The Taker Trilogy) Alma Katsu is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors.

I usually shy away from books dealing with religion and Bible stories, especially since my reading mainly focuses on horror and fantasy novels. But I was intrigued by the strong historical element of The Breath of God, and it turns out the novel’s unusual mix of religious doctrines, romance, action and mystery made for a […]
I started reading A Dark Time in much the same way I approach all independently published novels these days: with lots of trepidation, some curiosity, and just a bit of optimism. I’m happy to report that Dennis Bradford did not disappoint me. A Dark Time was a unique murder mystery that did not go in […]

Filled with non-stop action and magic, Orbs tells a familiar tale of the eternal battle between good and evil. Alorin is a prince in the kingdom of Nenevah, and is betrothed to wed the […]
“Everything may be the same all around me, but I wasn’t the same girl anymore. I’d fallen in love with a flesh-eating member of a superior race currently living beneath our feet.” I “met” Kate Evangelista online and helped promote the trailer for Taste. Later, I was able to convince her to send me an […]
