The nitty-gritty: Mayne continues his series about computational scientist/serial murder catcher Dr. Theo Cray, with another stellar entry that will terrify readers with its “what if?” premise. Well, Andrew Mayne has done it again. Damn these stories are so much fun! I decided on a whim to pick up Murder Theory over the weekend and […]
The nitty-gritty: A tale brimming with magic that feels both familiar and new, The Beast’s Heart is the perfect Valentine’s Day read. It’s fitting that I’m posting this review on Valentine’s Day, because The Beast’s Heart, a Beauty and the Beast retelling, is full of magic, heart and romance. Even better, if you’re a fan […]
A few notes about how I’m going to review this series. There are ten episodes, and my plan is to put a review up each Wednesday as they become available. I’ve never done this before, so let’s see how it goes! Also, I won’t be giving star ratings to the individual episodes, but I will […]

The nitty-gritty: Imaginative and character-driven, Lake Silence is a wonderful start to a new series. I know you’ll fall for these characters just as hard as I did! If you’re a fan of Charlaine Harris, then you are going to love Lake Silence. Harris’ Midnight, Texas series immediately came to mind as I was reading […]
The nitty-gritty: A nostalgic trip down memory lane, Slayer deftly builds on the Buffy universe and brings new characters and situations into the mix. It’s not Buffy, but I loved it anyway. Being chosen is easy. Making choices will break your heart. I have to admit that my feelings about Slayer went through several changes […]

The nitty-gritty: Full of stunning world-building and epic in scope, The Gutter Prayer is a debut you don’t want to miss. Goodreads tells me that it took me ten days to read The Gutter Prayer, and dammit I’m now two books behind with my reading challenge! I start my review with this fact not to […]
