THE RUSSIAN CAGE by Charlaine Harris – Review

THE RUSSIAN CAGE by Charlaine Harris – Review
Posted February 27, 2021 by Tammy in 3 stars, Reviews / 18 Comments

The nitty-gritty: Lizbeth is back in this imaginative alternate history fantasy, but this installment was just too slow paced for my taste. I’m still plugging away at this series, although I have yet to enjoy a book as much as An Easy Death. Still, there are some nice moments in the Russian Cage, and I’m […]

SUN-DAUGHTERS, SEA-DAUGHTERS by Aimee Ogden – Review

SUN-DAUGHTERS, SEA-DAUGHTERS by Aimee Ogden – Review
Posted February 23, 2021 by Tammy in 4 stars, Reviews / 22 Comments

The nitty-gritty: A beautifully written space opera/fairy tale mash-up with a touch of romance and an emotionally satisfying ending. What a strange and lovely story this was! Sun-Daughters, Sea-Daughters is a LIttle Mermaid retelling set on a distant planet called Maraven, where sea dwellers and land dwellers are currently involved in a clan war. Atuale […]

THE MINDERS by John Marrs – Review

THE MINDERS by John Marrs – Review
Posted February 15, 2021 by Tammy in 3 stars, Reviews / 25 Comments

The nitty-gritty: The Minders had lots of potential, but too many silly plot points and unlikeable characters made this a miss for me. I think your enjoyment of The Minders is going to hinge on whether or not you can get past some of the ridiculous plot elements, at least that was my experience. The […]

THE FUTURE IS YOURS by Dan Frey – Review

THE FUTURE IS YOURS by Dan Frey – Review
Posted February 11, 2021 by Tammy in 4 stars, Reviews / 25 Comments

The nitty-gritty: A computer with the ability to see one year into the future causes all sorts of problems in this thought provoking and twisty sci-fi story. I thought this book was a lot of fun! If you enjoy twisty, mind-bending sci-fi stories with an emphasis on technology and how it shapes our lives, you’ll […]

THE ECHO WIFE by Sarah Gailey – Review

THE ECHO WIFE by Sarah Gailey – Review
Posted February 8, 2021 by Tammy in 4 1/2 stars, Reviews / 45 Comments

The nitty-gritty: The Echo Wife is a twisty, emotional and intimate look at the relationship between a human and her clone replica. Sarah Gailey is one of those writers who never writes the same book twice. This is my fifth Gailey book, and once again I’m surprised by how unique each of their books is. […]

WINTER’S ORBIT by Everina Maxwell – Review

WINTER’S ORBIT by Everina Maxwell – Review
Posted February 2, 2021 by Tammy in 4 1/2 stars, Reviews / 41 Comments

The nitty-gritty: Romance, intrigue and mystery collide in this sparkling science fiction debut. Winter’s Orbit was such a nice surprise! From some of the publisher’s descriptions and comparisons, I was expecting a much more romance-heavy story, but for those of you who shy away when the word “romance” comes up, fear not. The relationship between […]

THREADER ORIGINS by Gerald Brandt – Review

THREADER ORIGINS by Gerald Brandt – Review
Posted January 28, 2021 by Tammy in 3 stars, Reviews / 16 Comments

The nitty-gritty: Threader Origins had a lot of potential, but a sluggish middle section made this an uneven read for me. Threader Origins has a great hook: a machine called the Quantum Power Source, designed as a solution to the world’s energy needs, misfires and pushes a young undergrad into a dystopian parallel world where […]

THE GULP by Alan Baxter – Review

THE GULP by Alan Baxter – Review
Posted January 21, 2021 by Tammy in 4 1/2 stars, Reviews / 26 Comments

The nitty-gritty: Fancy some Eldritch nightmares? Then look no further. The Gulp is the perfect combination of weird, brutal and creepy. The Gulp has the honor of being my first horror book of 2021, and folks, it was a good one! Alan Baxter is a well-known Aussie horror author, and I had not heard of […]
