The nitty-gritty: Lovers cursed by a witch find themselves reliving their lives, over and over, in Constance Sayers’ sparkling and gripping debut. Don’t let the beautiful, ethereal cover fool you.

HOLLOW KINGDOM by Kira Jane Buxton – Review
Posted December 16, 2019 by Tammy in 5 stars, Reviews / 39 Comments

The nitty-gritty: The zombie apocalypse meets Watership Down in Kira Jane Buxton’s glorious, emotional and hysterically funny debut. This book will change the way you think about animals, life and death, and may even give you a deeper appreciation of Cheetos®  I fluttered my gular, hating the part of me that they recognized, desperately wanting […]

SABBATH by Nick Mamatas – Review

SABBATH by Nick Mamatas – Review
Posted November 25, 2019 by Tammy in 4 stars, Reviews / 27 Comments

The nitty-gritty: Sinners rejoice! Mamatas’ latest is a big, brash, bawdy tale of sin, violence and laugh-out-loud humor, complete with time travel, swords, angels and art galleries.  “I thought Jewish people didn’t believe in the afterlife,” said Jennifer. “I thought Russian Orthodox girls didn’t believe in fucking strangers, or experimenting with lesbianism and then breaking […]

OUR WAR by Craig DiLouie – Review
Posted September 16, 2019 by Tammy in 5 stars, Reviews / 37 Comments

The nitty-gritty: A powerful and realistic portrayal of a near future civil war, Our War is a harrowing, emotional and ultimately uplifting story about the nature of war. “After we win this war, we can put away the guns for good.” Last year I was blown away by Craig DiLouie’s One of Us, a grim, […]

UNRAVELING by Karen Lord – Review

UNRAVELING by Karen Lord – Review
Posted June 24, 2019 by Tammy in 3 stars, Reviews / 32 Comments

The nitty-gritty: A story with a fascinating premise that is heavy on philosophical musings, this one just didn’t work for me. This is my first Karen Lord book, and I found out after I finished it that it’s actually set in the same world as Redemption in Indigo. I’m wondering if I might have connected […]

TITANSHADE by Dan Stout – Review

TITANSHADE by Dan Stout – Review
Posted April 8, 2019 by Tammy in 5 stars, Reviews / 33 Comments

The nitty-gritty: A thoroughly fresh take on urban fantasy noir, with multilayered characters, sleazy and corrupt politicians, murder, magic and mayhem aplenty. In short, this story has a little of everything in just the right amounts. My initial impression when I saw the cover of Titanshade was that it reminded me of the 80s movie […]

KING OF THE ROAD by R.S. Belcher – Review

KING OF THE ROAD by R.S. Belcher – Review
Posted December 29, 2018 by Tammy in 5 stars, Reviews / 42 Comments

The nitty-gritty: A complex and unputdownable story filled with fascinating elements and well drawn characters makes this another must read from R.S. Belcher. Oh Rod Belcher, you’ve done it again. If you love fantasy and horror and you haven’t yet checked out Belcher’s smorgasbord of backlist titles, then you are really missing out. R.S. Belcher […]
