Posted February 18, 2019 by Tammy in 4 1/2 stars, Reviews / 26 Comments

The nitty-gritty: Mayne continues his series about computational scientist/serial murder catcher Dr. Theo Cray, with another stellar entry that will terrify readers with its “what if?” premise. Well, Andrew Mayne has done it again. Damn these stories are so much fun! I decided on a whim to pick up Murder Theory over the weekend and […]

The nitty-gritty: A tale brimming with magic that feels both familiar and new, The Beast’s Heart is the perfect Valentine’s Day read.

If you’re a fan of Charlaine Harris, then you are going to love Lake Silence. Harris’ Midnight, Texas series immediately came to mind as I was reading […]

The nitty-gritty: A nostalgic trip down memory lane, Slayer deftly builds on the Buffy universe and brings new characters and situations into the mix. It’s not Buffy, but I loved it anyway. Being chosen is easy. Making choices will break your heart. I have to admit that my feelings about Slayer went through several changes […]
