The nitty-gritty: A mesmerizing and dangerous thriller where reality and fantasy merge. Emma Newman’s Planetfall series has been a wild ride, but if I’m reading the ending correctly, that ride isn’t over yet. This is the first book in the series that actually feels like a sequel.

The nitty-gritty: A mixed bag of both thrilling tension and a slow, ponderous beginning, The Luminous Dead worked on some levels but failed on others. This is a hard review to write. On one hand there are things about The Luminous Dead that I loved, elements that the author did really well. But on the […]
The nitty-gritty: Exquisitely written, Fletcher’s latest is an adventure story like no other, full of danger, discovery, joy and heartbreak. And dogs. Because dogs are the best. Sometimes you just know that a book is going to surpass all other books you’ve read, break your heart and then stitch it back together, make you feel […]

The nitty-gritty: Full of humor, action, mystery and suspense, this story surprised me with its unexpectedly satisfying emotional depth. I know I’ve stumbled onto a talented writer when a story’s themes are carried out from beginning to end, and that’s exactly what Seth Fried has done in The Municipalists. The two main characters, an odd […]
A few notes about how I’m going to review this series. There are ten episodes, and my plan is to put a review up each Wednesday as they become available. I’ve never done this before, so let’s see how it goes! Also, I won’t be giving star ratings to the individual episodes, but I will […]
The nitty-gritty: An exhilarating, character-driven debut that touches on such themes as mental illness, the tenuousness of life and death, and the power of true belief. If you’ve ever dreamed of traveling beyond the stars, Do You Dream of Terra-Two? is a must read. It left me breathless. It occurred to Astrid, in a disembodied […]
