Posted June 13, 2024 by Tammy in 5 stars, Reviews / 30 Comments

The nitty-gritty: Heists, found family and deep space adventure come together in Yume Kitasei’s thrilling space opera. Yume Kitasei has done it again—her sophomore book, after last year’s wonderful The Deep Sky, is just as imaginative and well written, and I may have loved it even more. As the author herself says, this is a […]

FIASCO by Constance Fay – Review
Posted June 10, 2024 by Tammy in 4 1/2 stars, Reviews / 15 Comments

The nitty-gritty: Snappy dialog and plenty of action (and yes, romance) make Fiasco an excellent sequel that’s tons of fun. “My mother has a blaster taped to her thigh under her skirt and a knife in her bra. I didn’t even give her the knife. She just carries one there. And because she has voluminous […]

THE HONEY WITCH by Sydney J. Shields – Review

THE HONEY WITCH by Sydney J. Shields – Review
Posted May 28, 2024 by Tammy in 2 1/2 stars, Reviews / 33 Comments

The nitty-gritty: An interesting premise is bogged down with annoying characters and a simplistic plot that didn’t always make sense. I’m sad to say The Honey Witch didn’t really work for me, although many readers loved it, so it’s most likely a case of “it isn’t you, it’s me.” This book felt very young, despite […]
