BUT NOT TOO BOLD by Hache Pueyo – Review

BUT NOT TOO BOLD by Hache Pueyo – Review
Posted February 3, 2025 by Tammy in 3 stars, Reviews / 1 Comment

The nitty-gritty: I enjoyed parts of this bizarre fantasy/horror novella, but some elements were a little too bizarre. But Not Too Bold is a very weird piece of fiction that didn’t completely work for me, but I do appreciate some of the things the author did with worldbuilding. I also loved the Latin American flavor […]

AT DARK, I BECOME LOATHSOME by Eric LaRocca – Review
Posted January 30, 2025 by Tammy in 4 stars, Reviews / 16 Comments

The nitty gritty: An emotional journey through grief and self-loathing, Eric LaRocca’s latest is a dark, gut punch of a story. “The world is nothing more than a carnivorous plant that devours the things that are the softest and most delicate.” Eric LaRocca has come up with yet another intense, emotional story about damaged people […]

BEAUTIFUL UGLY by Alice Feeney – Review

BEAUTIFUL UGLY by Alice Feeney – Review
Posted January 24, 2025 by Tammy in 4 stars, Reviews / 27 Comments

The nitty-gritty: A thoroughly entertaining—if not perfect—Alice Feeney thriller, full of her trademark twists and quirky characters. Alice Feeney has written another twisty story with unreliable characters and a very cool set-up, and although it’s not my favorite of her books, it was a lot of fun. We follow writer Grady Green, who, when the […]

GREENTEETH by Molly O’Neill – Review

GREENTEETH by Molly O’Neill – Review
Posted January 23, 2025 by Tammy in 5 stars, Reviews / 28 Comments

The nitty-gritty: A delightfully unique fantasy tale, Greenteeth combines richly developed folkloric world-building with lovable, flawed characters. A delight from start to finish. “‘There is some hope then?’ I asked. ‘You remember what I said the first time we met, Jenny? There is always hope.’” I came very close to not requesting Greenteeth, and I’m […]

ADRIFT IN CURRENTS CLEAN AND CLEAR by Seanan McGuire

ADRIFT IN CURRENTS CLEAN AND CLEAR by Seanan McGuire
Posted January 17, 2025 by Tammy in 4 stars, Reviews / 19 Comments

The nitty-gritty: Another magical and thought provoking entry in the Wayward Children series, Adrift in Currents Clean and Clear brings one character’s origin story to life. This is the tenth book in Seanan McGuire’s magical—and slightly uneven—fantasy portal series, and I feel the need to not only review this particular book, but give you my […]

THE WAY UP IS DEATH by Dan Hanks – Review

THE WAY UP IS DEATH by Dan Hanks – Review
Posted January 16, 2025 by Tammy in 4 stars, Reviews / 22 Comments

The nitty-gritty: A mysterious tower is the setting for this entertaining sci-fi/fantasy tale, made better by Dan Hanks’ emotional themes. Dan Hanks takes a familiar idea—the survival game—and twists it into something new and exciting. The Way Up is Death is a fast-paced thriller with horror elements and a bit of a LitRPG feel to […]

THE CRASH by Freida McFadden – Review

THE CRASH by Freida McFadden – Review
Posted January 13, 2025 by Tammy in 3 1/2 stars, Reviews / 20 Comments

The nitty-gritty: Despite a few minor flaws, The Crash was such a fun ride, with breakneck pacing and plenty of dramatic twists. This was my first time reading a Freida McFadden book, and it won’t be the last. The Crash is a twisty, over-the-top thriller that reminded me of Stephen King’s Misery a bit, and […]
