ANYONE by Charles Soule – Review
Posted December 30, 2019 by Tammy in 4 1/2 stars, Reviews / 23 Comments

The nitty-gritty: A thrilling and completely entertaining read from start to finish, Charles Soule once again knocks it out of the park with Anyone. Anyone is a December release that I wasn’t sure I’d be able to get to by the end of the year, but I’m so glad I decided to pick it up. […]

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 […]

Posted December 12, 2019 by Tammy in 4 1/2 stars, Reviews / 35 Comments

The nitty-gritty: A familiar horror scenario gets a facelift in this well written, fast-paced tale. If you like your stories spiked with aggressive sharks, creepy atmosphere and violence, then Infernal was written just for you. I’m embarrassed to admit I’ve had a copy of Infernal for several months, kindly sent to me FROM SWEDEN by […]

. . . AND OTHER DISASTERS by Malka Older – Review

. . . AND OTHER DISASTERS by Malka Older – Review
Posted December 2, 2019 by Tammy in 4 stars, Reviews / 26 Comments

The nitty-gritty: Malka Oldler’s insights into the human condition give these quirky stories heft and emotion, and I thought about them long after I had finished reading. I really enjoyed Malka Older’s serialized science fiction story, Ninth Step Station, so when I was asked if I’d like to read her latest short story collection, I […]

AURORA BLAZING by Jessie Mihalik – Review

AURORA BLAZING by Jessie Mihalik – Review
Posted November 29, 2019 by Tammy in 4 stars, Reviews / 19 Comments

The nitty-gritty: An exciting, action-packed follow-up to Polaris Rising with new characters, plenty of danger, and some steamy romance too. I do love when publishers decide to release an entire series on a short publication schedule, and Mihalik’s Consortium Rebellion series is one of those happy instances. I reviewed the first book in the series, […]

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 […]

The nitty-gritty: A thrilling and satisfying follow-up to The Last Sun, The Hanged Man proves that K.D. Edwards is the real deal. The story shines with unique and complex world-building, stellar writing, and a fast-paced plot that is rounded out with humor and heart-felt emotional moments. I didn’t want the book to end!

MADE THINGS by Adrian Tchaikovsky – Review

MADE THINGS by Adrian Tchaikovsky – Review
Posted November 11, 2019 by Tammy in 4 stars, Reviews / 29 Comments

The nitty-gritty: A delightfully rough and dangerous story with magical, animated creatures who captured my heart. “What’s the world coming to?” the big human said. “I remember when this was simple. And now there’s little doll people threatening me with a shave. Fuck me.” This is my first Adrian Tchaikovsky book, but it certainly won’t […]
