FLOWERS FOR THE SEA by Zin E. Rocklyn

FLOWERS FOR THE SEA by Zin E. Rocklyn
Posted October 29, 2021 by Tammy in 3 stars, Reviews / 14 Comments

The nitty-gritty: Unsettling and atmospheric, I loved some of the elements, but the author’s writing style kept me from completely enjoying this story. “Hope has no place on this vessel of death and disease, aimless and everlasting in its path.” This is an odd one, folks. Flowers for the Sea is an atmospheric, angry tale […]

Posted October 25, 2021 by Tammy in 4 stars, Reviews / 15 Comments

The nitty-gritty: Time travel, danger and romance blend together seamlessly in Fisher’s lively finale to her Faery Rehistory series. I’ve enjoyed the Faery Rehistory series so much! With The Warrior Poet, Sharon Lynn Fisher brings her carefully researched historical fantasy to a close, and she did a bang up job. I would personally recommend reading this […]

SUMMER SONS by Lee Mandelo – Review

SUMMER SONS by Lee Mandelo – Review
Posted October 16, 2021 by Tammy in 2 stars, Reviews / 16 Comments

And while it’s unabashedly queer and creepy and atmospheric […]

The nitty-gritty: Strange and thoughtful, Aliya Whiteley’s latest short story collection is brimming with inventive world building and plenty of heart and emotion. Each time I pick up an Aliya Whiteley book, I’m reminded of just how unique her stories are, and I’m grateful for the hours I’ve spent with her weird but wonderful characters. […]

A SPINDLE SPLINTERED by Alix E. Harrow – Review

A SPINDLE SPLINTERED by Alix E. Harrow – Review
Posted October 4, 2021 by Tammy in 4 stars, Reviews / 27 Comments

The nitty-gritty: A fun, laugh-out-loud contemporary take on Sleeping Beauty, with a feminist sensibility, that made me cheer.  I’m a huge fan of Alix E. Harrow’s novels, so I was quite curious to see what she would do with the novella format. And I’m happily surprised by how much I enjoyed this! A Spindle Splintered […]
