BLUEBIRD by Ciel Pierlot – Review
Posted February 24, 2022 by Tammy in 4 1/2 stars, Reviews / 20 Comments

Bluebird was a blast, and I’m so glad I had the chance to read it. According to the publisher’s description, you can expect “Lesbian gunslingers in space!” And yes, you get all of that, but Bluebird is so much more. Ciel Pierlot has written a thrilling adventure complete with spies, thieves, betrayal, secrets, gunfights, and […]

SUNDIAL by Catriona Ward – Review
Posted February 17, 2022 by Tammy in 4 stars, Reviews / 28 Comments

The nitty-gritty: Catriona Ward raises the bar on her latest psychological thriller, a dark and frenetic tale full of family secrets, blood and pain. I feel her, the old Rob, when I come to Sundial, hiding in the dawn and at the edges of things; the ghost of who I once was. Could I find […]

THE GREAT WITCH OF BRITTANY by Louisa Morgan – Review
Posted February 7, 2022 by Tammy in 5 stars, Reviews / 22 Comments

The nitty-gritty: Mesmerizing storytelling, history, and magic combine in this stellar multigenerational saga. Back in 2017, I read my first Louisa Morgan book, A Secret History of Witches, and now with her latest, The Great Witch of Brittany, I feel as if I’ve come full circle. Brittany tells the story of Ursule Orchière, the character […]

DEAD SILENCE by S.A. Barnes – Review
Posted January 31, 2022 by Tammy in 5 stars, Reviews / 29 Comments

The nitty-gritty: Titanic meets The Sixth Sense in this terror-filled mystery set in space. I had a blast with Dead Silence, undoubtedly one of my most highly anticipated early 2022 releases, and while it didn’t necessarily go where I expected it to, I found it to be surprising and addictive. Dead Silence features an unreliable narrator […]

THE VIOLENCE by Delilah S. Dawson – Review

THE VIOLENCE by Delilah S. Dawson – Review
Posted January 24, 2022 by Tammy in 4 1/2 stars, Reviews / 26 Comments

The nitty-gritty: A trio of abused women take back their power in this feminist, highly entertaining thriller. The Violence surprised me in the best possible way, and although I think this will end up being a divisive book, I absolutely loved it. Delilah S. Dawson’s writing and storytelling style remind me a lot of both […]

HUNT THE STARS by Jessie Mihalik – Review

HUNT THE STARS by Jessie Mihalik – Review
Posted January 20, 2022 by Tammy in 3 1/2 stars, Reviews / 24 Comments

The nitty-gritty: A solid series opener, Hunt the Stars focuses on character development rather than world building and pacing, but I still had a good time. I was a big fan of Jessie Mihalik’s Consortium Rebellion series, and I’ve been excited for this new series for months. I enjoyed this first installment, but I have […]

SUCH A PRETTY SMILE by Kristi DeMeester – Review

SUCH A PRETTY SMILE by Kristi DeMeester – Review
Posted January 13, 2022 by Tammy in 4 1/2 stars, Reviews / 24 Comments

The nitty-gritty: An eerie, feminist coming-of-age story set against the backdrop of a series of grisly murders, Such A Pretty Smile is both horrific and empowering.  Her eyes looked different. The pupil larger than the surrounding brown, and she blinked at her refection. It didn’t blink back, and she smiled. There were too many teeth […]

The nitty-gritty: Deep Dive is a fast-paced, science fiction thrill ride with an engaging mystery and some interesting twists.

It evokes both The […]
