Posted May 4, 2019 by Tammy in 5 stars, Reviews / 38 Comments

The nitty-gritty: A compelling, relationship-driven family drama with speculative elements and plenty of mystery, this is a page turner that you won’t be able to put down. This book was such a happy surprise! I enjoyed Morgan’s A Secret History of Witches a couple of years ago, but her latest really touched me in ways […]

The nitty-gritty: A weird and wonderful, multi-layered story with a tough-as-nails heroine, this delightful fantasy offers up plenty of mysteries, both big and small. “I answer little questions.

Posted April 22, 2019 by Tammy in 4 stars, Reviews / 32 Comments

The nitty-gritty: A mesmerizing and dangerous thriller where reality and fantasy merge. Emma Newman’s Planetfall series has been a wild ride, but if I’m reading the ending correctly, that ride isn’t over yet. This is the first book in the series that actually feels like a sequel. The events start a few months after the […]

The nitty-gritty: A thoroughly fresh take on urban fantasy noir, with multilayered characters, sleazy and corrupt politicians, murder, magic and mayhem aplenty. In short, this story has a little of everything in just the right amounts. My initial impression when I saw the cover of Titanshade was that it reminded me of the 80s movie […]

With so many mixed reviews flying around, I was both anxious and excited to dive into Wicked Saints. On the surface it seemed like exactly the kind of book I love, with a Gothic sensibility, horrific elements, blood magic, warring religions and even monsters. And the verdict? I was pleasantly surprised by this book, and […]

The nitty-gritty: Strange and addictive, Thompson’s gritty, futuristic story expands on the world he introduced in Rosewater and gives us even more mysteries surrounding the alien life form known as Wormwood. If you’re looking for a unique take on the first contact/alien invasion story, then look no further than Tade Thompson’s Wormwood Trilogy. The Rosewater […]
