A couple of weeks ago I brought you Twelve YA Fantasies to Get Excited About, and today it’s time for adult fantasy! I try not to repeat myself, so the books I’ve chosen are books I haven’t talked about yet on the blog. All the titles are linked to Goodreads, and I’m listing them in […]
The nitty-gritty: Anne Heltzel brings several tried and true horror tropes to her latest novel, including cults, creepy dolls and motherhood. Just Like Mother was creepy and shocking, and yes, over-the-top at times. But I have to admit, despite it’s flaws, I had a lot of fun with it. Parts of it made me mad, […]
Welcome to Buffy’s Corner, where I take a look at what’s coming up this week on the blog! I’m linking up with The Sunday Post over at Kimberly’s blog, The Caffeinated Reviewer:-D Wyrd & Wonder is winding down and I feel like I haven’t participated as much as I wanted to. But I still hope […]
The nitty-gritty: A dark, feminist fairy tale perfect for the times we are living in, The Girl Who Outgrew the World is a unique coming-of-age fable with an unforgettable heroine. “That is so you!” Rain gushed. So Lilly. Who she had been. And now, exponentially larger in every direction, this version of her was like […]

My goal with Future Fiction is to share at least three new books each week, a combination of recent cover reveals and books that I’ve recently […]
The nitty-gritty: A unique format makes this supernatural thriller a fun escape from everyday life. Hidden Pictures was a very good thriller with lots of surprises, and the book is full of illustrations which enhance the story and make it even better. There’s also a supernatural element, so if you enjoy thrillers with a ghostly […]
The nitty-gritty: Lovely writing and eerie ambiance couldn’t quite make up for a confusing plot and magic system. Book of Night was not at all what I expected (something I’ve heard from other reviewers as well) and that may have impacted my reading experience. When I think of Holly Black, my mind conjures up fairies […]
