THE VINE WITCH by Luanne G. Smith – Review

THE VINE WITCH by Luanne G. Smith – Review
Posted October 19, 2019 by Tammy in 4 stars, Reviews / 33 Comments

The nitty-gritty: A touch of romance blended with a magical tale of witches and wine, The Vine Witch was a pleasant surprise. October is the perfect month for stories about witches, and The Vine Witch is an atmospheric tale that, while very light on spooky elements, offers plenty of magic and witchy folklore. I don’t […]

THE GIRL WITH NO FACE by M.H. Boroson – Review
Posted October 7, 2019 by Tammy in 5 stars, Reviews / 32 Comments

A love spell is not a bouquet of flowers but a boot in your face, grinding its muddy heel. The nitty-gritty: A worthy follow-up to The Girl With Ghost Eyes, Boroson’s latest shines with magical imagery, sparkling and downright funny dialog, complex characters and an immensely satisfying plot, all framed by the rich history of […]

Posted September 9, 2019 by Tammy in 4 stars, Reviews / 48 Comments

The nitty-gritty:  Weird, shocking, bloody and did I mention weird? Reading Gideon the Ninth was an experience. Gideon the Ninth was weird. I can honestly say I’ve never read anything quite like Tamsyn Muir’s debut, so if you’re looking for that elusive, completely original story, then Gideon might just be the book for you. And […]

The nitty-gritty: Evocative world-building combined with an overstuffed plot left me with mixed feelings about this YA fantasy debut. I had read some glowing reviews of The House of Salt and Sorrow, so I jumped into this with rather high expectations. Unfortunately, even though there is a lot to love about this book, as a […]

The nitty-gritty: Exciting action and relatable characters make this futuristic look at corporate greed a ton of fun from start to finish. I got to meet Rob Hart at San Diego Comic Con, which made me even more excited to read his book. Rob put a cool stamp each attendee’s ARC and filled in their […]

The nitty-gritty: A harsh, dystopian future where a girl’s life is measured in calories, Ration is not for the faint of heart, but don’t let that stop you from reading this book. “You’ll find that the world is just a machine. And you are fuel.” Ration is Cody T. Luff’s first novel, and frankly I’m […]
