TITAN SONG by Dan Stout – Review

TITAN SONG by Dan Stout – Review
Posted April 5, 2021 by Tammy in 4 1/2 stars, Reviews / 25 Comments

The nitty-gritty: Another strong entry in Dan Stout’s retro noir urban fantasy series, Titan Song is a rollicking good time. This is the third book in The Carter Archives series, and it’s still going strong, I’m happy to report. Stout has combined a unique set of elements—noir urban fantasy, a 1970s vibe that seems familiar […]

WE SHALL SING A SONG INTO THE DEEP by Andrew Kelly Stewart – Review

WE SHALL SING A SONG INTO THE DEEP by Andrew Kelly Stewart – Review
Posted March 18, 2021 by Tammy in 4 stars, Reviews / 24 Comments

The nitty-gritty: A strange, sad, claustrophobic tale, with unexpected moments of beauty and hope. I can honestly say I’ve never read anything quite like We Shall Sing a Song Into the Deep. This is a dark, atmospheric tale—verging on oppressive—that weaves together several unusual elements: a submarine called the Leviathan commanded by a religious zealot […]

THE FALL OF KOLI by M.R. Carey – Review

THE FALL OF KOLI by M.R. Carey – Review
Posted March 15, 2021 by Tammy in 5 stars, Reviews / 20 Comments

The nitty-gritty: A thrilling, heartbreaking and satisfying end to one of my favorite series, The Fall of Koli is one of the best books of 2021. Jon stroked my cheek with one finger, a thing he did oftentimes to gentle me into sleep. “What do people look for out of a story, Spin? You told […]

THE PACKAGE by Sebastian Fitzek – Review

THE PACKAGE by Sebastian Fitzek – Review
Posted March 4, 2021 by Tammy in 2 stars, Reviews / 23 Comments

The nitty-gritty: Overly dramatic, overstuffed and confusing as hell, The Package failed for me on so many levels. The Package is the latest best selling thriller from German sensation Sebastian Fitzek. The book has all sorts of rave reviews on Goodreads, so obviously your mileage may vary. But as you can tell from my rating, […]

The nitty-gritty: A thrilling, sci-fi horror mystery with plenty of twists, Dead Space is a superb novel and is destined to be one of my favorite books of 2021.  It’s hard to believe, but Dead Space is my first five-star read of 2021, and folks, it’s a good one. Hold onto your hats because Kali […]

THE RUSSIAN CAGE by Charlaine Harris – Review

THE RUSSIAN CAGE by Charlaine Harris – Review
Posted February 27, 2021 by Tammy in 3 stars, Reviews / 18 Comments

The nitty-gritty: Lizbeth is back in this imaginative alternate history fantasy, but this installment was just too slow paced for my taste. I’m still plugging away at this series, although I have yet to enjoy a book as much as An Easy Death. Still, there are some nice moments in the Russian Cage, and I’m […]

SUN-DAUGHTERS, SEA-DAUGHTERS by Aimee Ogden – Review

SUN-DAUGHTERS, SEA-DAUGHTERS by Aimee Ogden – Review
Posted February 23, 2021 by Tammy in 4 stars, Reviews / 22 Comments

The nitty-gritty: A beautifully written space opera/fairy tale mash-up with a touch of romance and an emotionally satisfying ending. What a strange and lovely story this was! Sun-Daughters, Sea-Daughters is a LIttle Mermaid retelling set on a distant planet called Maraven, where sea dwellers and land dwellers are currently involved in a clan war. Atuale […]
