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. […]

SMALL TOWN HORROR by Ronald Malfi – Review

SMALL TOWN HORROR by Ronald Malfi – Review
Posted June 6, 2024 by Tammy in 4 stars, Reviews / 21 Comments

The nitty-gritty: Eerie and atmospheric, Small Town Horror combines slow burn horror with shocking twists. Ronald Malfi tackles a tried and true horror trope but gives his readers some fun twists in his latest, a creepy and atmospheric story that had me jumping at shadows. The often used story of “childhood friends reunite as adults […]

CALYPSO by Oliver K. Langmead – Review

CALYPSO by Oliver K. Langmead – Review
Posted April 12, 2024 by Tammy in 4 1/2 stars, Reviews / 21 Comments

The nitty-gritty: Unusual formatting, a captivating story and distinct character voices make Calypso a unique treat for sci-fi fans who are looking for something different. Novels in verse require an extra level of attention from the reader, but they can be so rewarding if the author knows what they are doing. Case in point, Oliver […]

BLOOM by Delilah S. Dawson – Review

BLOOM by Delilah S. Dawson – Review
Posted October 13, 2023 by Tammy in 3 stars, Reviews / 22 Comments

The nitty-gritty: Cottagecore turns bloody in this uneven slasher/romance. I’ve been looking forward to another book by Delilah S. Dawson ever since I read and loved The Violence. Bloom seemed promising, with it’s beautiful but disturbing cover, but unfortunately this was just OK for me. Maybe the novella length had something to do with that, […]

DESCENDANT MACHINE by Gareth L. Powell – Review

DESCENDANT MACHINE by Gareth L. Powell – Review
Posted April 13, 2023 by Tammy in 5 stars, Reviews / 21 Comments

The nitty-gritty: Gareth L. Powell raises the stakes—and then raises them again—in this stellar stand-alone sequel to Stars and Bones. Descendant Machine is the most fun I’ve had all year! Gareth L. Powell has not only written a sequel that’s better than the first book, but he completely changed the vibe as well. Stars & […]

HEL’S EIGHT by Stark Holborn – Review

HEL’S EIGHT by Stark Holborn – Review
Posted March 27, 2023 by Tammy in 4 1/2 stars, Reviews / 18 Comments

The nitty-gritty: An excellent sequel, Hel’s Eight brings readers more of Ten Low‘s desolate and dangerous desert setting and larger than life characters, with just the right balance of action and emotion. Last year I read Stark Holborn’s Ten Low and loved it, and I’m so happy that the author decided to continue Ten’s story. […]

THINGS HAVE GOTTEN WORSE SINCE WE LAST SPOKE by Eric LaRocca – Review

THINGS HAVE GOTTEN WORSE SINCE WE LAST SPOKE by Eric LaRocca – Review
Posted September 19, 2022 by Tammy in 4 1/2 stars, Reviews / 16 Comments

The nitty-gritty: At times uncomfortable and disturbing, Eric LaRocca’s stories explore the dangerous side of human relationships. Eric LaRocca is quickly becoming my go-to horror author when I’m looking for well-written, edgy horror, horror that isn’t like anything else out there. I believe this is my third book of theirs I’ve read, and in fact […]

BLACK MOUTH by Ronald Malfi – Review

BLACK MOUTH by Ronald Malfi – Review
Posted July 14, 2022 by Tammy in 5 stars, Reviews / 20 Comments

The nitty-gritty: Four childhood friends are forced to confront the past in Ronald Malfi’s latest, an epic, nightmarish tale with unforgettable characters. “Do you want to see a magic trick?” After absolutely loving Come With Me last year (which made my top five books of 2021), I was both excited and hesitant to read Ronald Malfi’s […]

GLITTERATI by Oliver K. Langmead – Review

GLITTERATI by Oliver K. Langmead – Review
Posted May 30, 2022 by Tammy in 4 1/2 stars, Reviews / 27 Comments

The nitty-gritty: Bizarre, funny, and shocking, Glitterati is as sparkling and dangerous as the outfits worn by the characters. “From her clutch she had taken a tiny bottle of tears (sourced, no doubt, from only the cleanest unfashionables) and had dripped several into her eyes to make them fill and glisten. Currently, there was a […]
