The nitty-gritty: History, witchcraft and romance collide in Louisa Morgan’s beautifully written story about a secret family lineage. I’m a big fan of Louisa Morgan’s “witch” books, and it’s a given that I’ll read every one she writes. The Age of Witches is another winner, with a wonderfully immersive story and solid writing. I fell […]

The nitty-gritty: Beautifully written and carefully plotted, The Glass Hotel was an unusual and emotional read. Like many other readers, I loved Station Eleven and have been curious to see what Emily St. John Mandel would do next. Even though I didn’t have a review copy of The Glass Hotel, I was determined to read […]
The nitty-gritty: A stellar start to a new series, The Book of Koli surprised me in just about every possible way. I’ve read every one of M.R.

The nitty-gritty: An inventive and quirky tale, Hearts of Oak was a surprise from start to finish. Well, this was an odd story! And I mean that in a good way. Whatever you think Hearts of Oak is about, be ready to adjust your perceptions, because it started one way, and at about the halfway […]

The nitty-gritty: A bloody, scary good time, skillfully written and paced, Bent Heavens kept me flipping pages, even though I had some issues with a few elements. I’ve seen some fantastic reviews for Bent Heavens, and so I went into it with high hopes, knowing this was a thriller/horror story revolving around aliens. And without […]
