The nitty-gritty: Ambitious in scope and imagery, Middlegame is an epic tale of friendship, both uplifting and heartbreaking. I’m a huge fan of Seanan McGuire/Mira Grant, although I’ve barely scratched the surface when it comes to her huge backlist. But I have been trying to keep up with new releases, and when I heard about […]
The nitty-gritty: A short, well written tale with a dream-like quality that gives readers plenty to think about. This was such an odd little story, but I enjoyed it a lot. Vylar Kaftan has written a twisty, hallucinogenic tale about mental health and inner strength that didn’t go where I was expecting it to go—at […]
The nitty-gritty: A mixed bag of both thrilling tension and a slow, ponderous beginning, The Luminous Dead worked on some levels but failed on others. This is a hard review to write. On one hand there are things about The Luminous Dead that I loved, elements that the author did really well. But on the […]
With so many mixed reviews flying around, I was both anxious and excited to dive into Wicked Saints. On the surface it seemed like exactly the kind of book I love, with a Gothic sensibility, horrific elements, blood magic, warring religions and even monsters. And the verdict? I was pleasantly surprised by this book, and […]
So yeah, I’m a little behind kicking off my coverage of Season 1 of The Vela, a serialized story from none other than Serial Box! Today I’m reviewing the first two episodes, and starting next weekend, I’ll be reviewing one episode a week. So far I’m LOVING this story! First, here’s a brief recap […]
And here we are at the end! Today’s episode marks the end of Season 1 of Ninth Step Station. It’s been a blast covering each episode on a weekly basis, and I hope it’s been at least somewhat entertaining for you! In this review I’ll discuss Episode 10, as well as give you my overall […]
A few notes about how I’m going to review this series. There are ten episodes, and my plan is to put a review up each Wednesday as they become available. I’ve never done this before, so let’s see how it goes! Also, I won’t be giving star ratings to the individual episodes, but I will […]

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 […]
