OUT OF THE DROWNING DEEP by A.C. Wise – Review

OUT OF THE DROWNING DEEP by A.C. Wise – Review
Posted September 30, 2024 by Tammy in 4 1/2 stars, Reviews / 17 Comments

The nitty-gritty: A.C. Wise successfully combines several genres in this weird, terrifying and emotionally satisfying tale. “An angel could be a terrible thing, but so could a human, sometimes without even trying.” This is my first time reading A.C. Wise, and after loving Out of the Drowning Deep, I’m a fan of hers for life. […]

This is due mostly to the pitch perfect voice of the main character Lavinia, a recently freed slave who […]

NEGATIVE GIRL by Libby Cudmore – Review

NEGATIVE GIRL by Libby Cudmore – Review
Posted September 17, 2024 by Tammy in 4 stars, Reviews / 12 Comments

The nitty-gritty: Libby Cudmore’s carefully plotted PI story mixes interpersonal drama, music and the emotional pitfalls of addiction. “Junkies will always break your heart.” I have to admit it was the cover of Negative Girl that first caught my attention, and after reading it, I think it perfectly fits this murder mystery that centers around […]
