The nitty-gritty: Clever, scary, entertaining and well written, Kill Creek is a slick and polished debut. With each new Inkshares book I read, I become more and more impressed with the quality of not only the writing, but the complete package. I was lucky enough to get a finished paperback copy of Kill Creek from […]
Before I begin my real review, I’m going to do something I’ve wanted to do for a long time. And that is, I want to compile all the “notes” I took on my Kindle while reading this book. Together, they form a sort-of review, an overall impression of this very strange story. So forgive me […]
I’ve been a Star Wars fan since waaaay back when I saw A New Hope with my parents, and it’s amazing to look back over the years to see the influence George Lucas has had on our popular culture. When I was asked if I’d like to check out Harper Design’s newest book, Star Wars […]
The nitty-gritty: A strange, dangerous and magical glimpse into a future world, told in stunningly beautiful prose. Now, too, patterns began to emerge. There were people who seemed to just disappear, and the city had no answer for this except rumors—murmurs of an invisible killer from the tattered remnants of Wick’s contacts and my contact […]
The nitty-gritty: So. Much. Fun! If you love science and atmospheric mysteries, then you must read this book. I had never heard of this book, let alone author Andrew Mayne, who is also a TV personality and has written a bunch of other books, but I’m so glad I had the opportunity to check it […]
The nitty-gritty: A short but thought-provoking and dark retelling of the story of Moses. Many of you are familiar with Serial Box, the company that has put serial storytelling back on the map, with recent stories like Bookburners, Tremontaine and The Witch Who Came in from the Cold. They offer short weekly “episodes” written by […]
The nitty-gritty: Another winner for Andy Weir, full of his trademark irreverent humor, non-stop action, and fascinating science. Like many other readers, I was a little scared to read Weir’s follow up to The Martian, which earned five enthusiastic stars from me a few years ago. By now you’ve probably read a bunch of reviews […]
The nitty-gritty: A terrifying trip to the sea, where monsters lie in wait. A couple of years ago I splurged and bought a small and beautiful book from Subterranean Press called Rolling in the Deep by Mira Grant. I adored it for it’s shocking violence and fascinating subject matter (mermaids!). Fast forward to 2017 and […]
The nitty-gritty: A complex and unique story that delivers on all levels. Simply brilliant! I was initially drawn to The Nine because of it’s brightly colored cover, but believe me when I say the cover pales in comparison to the story that’s inside. This is one of my best, happiest surprises of the year, and […]
The nitty-gritty: A super fun read with a cool concept, well drawn characters, and some social commentary for those who like depth with their action. This might be the quickest I have ever read a book! I got through Spliced in just over a twenty-four hour time period, mostly because I stayed home sick from […]
