ROYAL BASTARDS by Andrew Shvarts – Review
Posted June 7, 2018 by Tammy in 4 1/2 stars, Reviews / 25 Comments

The nitty-gritty: Just plain fun, Royal Bastards has humor, heart, heartbreak and tension galore. Just read it! “Just stay cool,” I said. I was feeling a little excited. I’d never talked to a Zitochi before, not really. And yes, I’ll admit it. He was hot. Not in that sweaty, broad-shouldered way like the blacksmith’s apprentice, […]

BEFORE MARS by Emma Newman – Review

BEFORE MARS by Emma Newman – Review
Posted June 5, 2018 by Tammy in 4 1/2 stars, Reviews / 33 Comments

The nitty-gritty: Newman’s series doesn’t slow down at all in this latest installment, which combines mystery, suspense and plenty of raw emotions. I’ve enjoyed this series so much, and it’s not over yet, thank goodness! All of Emma Newman’s Planetfall books can be read as standalones, although Before Mars does reference events in the previous […]

TERROR IS OUR BUSINESS: DANA ROBERTS’ CASEBOOK OF HORRORS by Joe R. Lansdale & Kasey Lansdale
Posted May 31, 2018 by Tammy in 3 1/2 stars, Reviews / 22 Comments

The nitty-gritty: A slightly uneven but entertaining collection that is made better by the relationship between Dana and Jana. It’s been years since I’ve read anything by Joe R. Lansdale, and so when I was offered the chance to read his latest collection, co-authored with his daughter Kasey, I didn’t hesitate to say “yes.” Terror […]

Phoenix Comic Fest – A Brief Recap

Because it’s getting harder and harder to get tickets to San Diego Comic Con, I decided to go to Phoenix Comic Fest when I wasn’t able to get SDCC tickets for the second year in a row. I had fun, but it wasn’t nearly as much fun as San Diego Comic Con, so I doubt I’ll go […]
