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 / 12 Comments

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 […]

GREENTEETH by Molly O’Neill – Review

GREENTEETH by Molly O’Neill – Review
Posted January 23, 2025 by Tammy in 5 stars, Reviews / 30 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 / 20 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 […]

ODD SPIRITS by S.T. Gibson – Review

ODD SPIRITS by S.T. Gibson – Review
Posted October 7, 2024 by Tammy in 4 stars, Reviews / 21 Comments

The nitty-gritty: A fun prequel that delves into themes of marriage and communication, Odd Spirits incorporates magic, spirits and emotional ties, all wrapped up in a beautiful package. Odd Spirits is a prequel novella to Evocation, which I read earlier this year, and focuses on married couple Moira and Rhys. At just over a hundred […]

OUT OF THE DROWNING DEEP by A.C. Wise – Review

OUT OF THE DROWNING DEEP by A.C. Wise – Review
Posted September 30, 2024 by Tammy in 4 1/2 stars, Reviews / 17 Comments

The nitty-gritty: A.C. Wise successfully combines several genres in this weird, terrifying and emotionally satisfying tale. “An angel could be a terrible thing, but so could a human, sometimes without even trying.” This is my first time reading A.C. Wise, and after loving Out of the Drowning Deep, I’m a fan of hers for life. […]

AN ACADEMY FOR LIARS by Alexis Henderson – Review

AN ACADEMY FOR LIARS by Alexis Henderson – Review
Posted September 27, 2024 by Tammy in 3 stars, Reviews / 12 Comments

The nitty-gritty: Despite a strong dark academia vibe and some interesting world building elements, An Academy For Liars lacked a cohesive plot and likeable characters. “Lennon was no hero. And she wasn’t even sure she had the spine to call herself a villain.” I had high hopes for An Academy of Liars, but unfortunately it […]
