IN EVERY GENERATION by Kendare Blake – Review

IN EVERY GENERATION by Kendare Blake – Review
Posted January 6, 2022 by Tammy in 2 1/2 stars, Reviews / 29 Comments

The nitty-gritty: Inconsistencies, info-dumps and ridiculous situations made this Buffyverse novel a disappointment. Some spoilers ahead, because I just can’t review this book without them. Every time a new Buffyverse book comes along, I can hardly wait to jump into it. And every time, I feel dissatisfied by the experience. In Every Generation is the […]

A MARVELLOUS LIGHT by Freya Marske – Review

A MARVELLOUS LIGHT by Freya Marske – Review
Posted December 11, 2021 by Tammy in 4 stars, Reviews / 27 Comments

The nitty-gritty: Full of charm, mystery and magic, A Marvellous Light is a delightful start to a new series. Robin thought about the string that Edwin used in his spells: how a particular cradle might have five or six or eight lines of the pattern joining one hand to another. Binding them close. Robin and […]

REVELATOR by Daryl Gregory – Review

REVELATOR by Daryl Gregory – Review
Posted December 6, 2021 by Tammy in 4 1/2 stars, Reviews / 17 Comments

The nitty-gritty: A Southern Gothic setting, twisted family relationships and several intriguing mysteries make Revelator a must read for lovers of subtle horror. I know when I pick up a Daryl Gregory book I’m going to get something unique, and Revelator was very different from what I expected, but in a good way. This story […]

BLINDSPACE by Jeremy Szal – Review #SciFiMonth

BLINDSPACE by Jeremy Szal – Review #SciFiMonth
Posted November 27, 2021 by Tammy in 4 stars, Reviews / 14 Comments

The nitty-gritty: A nail-biting adventure that raises the stakes even higher, Blindspace was a solid sequel and a lot of fun. I’ve been excited for Blindspace ever since I finished Stormblood last year, and I’m so glad I was able to squeeze this in for SciFiMonth. I’ll admit I didn’t enjoy it quite as much […]

YOU SEXY THING by Cat Rambo – Review

YOU SEXY THING by Cat Rambo – Review
Posted November 20, 2021 by Tammy in 4 1/2 stars, Reviews / 28 Comments

The nitty-gritty: A delightful combination of space opera, mystery and loveable characters, You Sexy Thing is a hopeful adventure and an excellent start to a new series. What a wonderful surprise this was! You Sexy Thing was a delight from start to finish, and before I start this review, I want to mention that yes, […]

SWASHBUCKLERS by Dan Hanks – Review

SWASHBUCKLERS by Dan Hanks – Review
Posted November 15, 2021 by Tammy in 3 1/2 stars, Reviews / 18 Comments

The nitty-gritty: Dan Hanks blends 80s nostalgia, portal fantasy and parenthood in this fun romp/quest to save the world. Swashbucklers was a lot of crazy fun, and I do mean crazy—think Ghostbusters meets Stranger Things. Dan Hanks does a good job of combining humor, action and nostalgia, and he even tugged on my heartstrings a […]

ELDER RACE by Adrian Tchaikovsky – Review

ELDER RACE by Adrian Tchaikovsky – Review
Posted November 12, 2021 by Tammy in 4 1/2 stars, Reviews / 18 Comments

The nitty-gritty: A clever mix of fantasy and science fiction that explores the different ways stories are told and interpreted, Elder Race was a joy to read. Something within the foundation of the tower groaned, deep and tormented. In the next moment Lyn changed her mind: not a living thing at all, but as though […]

NOOR by Nnedi Okorafor – Review

NOOR by Nnedi Okorafor – Review
Posted November 11, 2021 by Tammy in 4 stars, Reviews / 23 Comments

The nitty-gritty: Another fantastic entry into the Africanfuturism subgenre, Noor blends sci-fi tech with interesting characters and an intriguing African desert setting. I’ve read enough Nnedi Okorafor books now to recognize her particular writing style, and Noor not only embraces that style, but it’s full of the author’s brilliant, futuristic ideas and social commentary. If […]
