WINTERGLASS by Benjanun Sriduangkaew – Review
Posted January 8, 2018 by Tammy in 4 1/2 stars, Reviews / 16 Comments

The nitty-gritty: Exquisite writing and magical worldbuilding made this a reading experience I won’t soon forget. Lussadh turns on the heating and listens to the ghosts murmur, a low purr that thrums through walls and ebony boards. Shamans–alchemists of the spirit–can hear and understand their chatter, it is said, the secrets of the dead. If […]

BLACK STAR RENEGADES by Michael Moreci – Review
Posted January 2, 2018 by Tammy in 4 stars, Reviews / 10 Comments

The nitty-gritty: A fun and character-driven debut, fans of Star Wars will find much to love in this fast-paced space opera. In Michael Moreci’s afterward to his fun and furious debut, he unabashedly calls Black Star Renegades his “love letter to Star Wars,” and it shows. It’s easy to make your way through the story […]

Posted December 18, 2017 by Tammy in 4 1/2 stars, Reviews / 15 Comments

The nitty-gritty: Clever, scary, entertaining and well written, Kill Creek is a slick and polished debut. With each new Inkshares book I read, I become more and more impressed with the quality of not only the writing, but the complete package. I was lucky enough to get a finished paperback copy of Kill Creek from […]

The nitty-gritty: A strange, dangerous and magical glimpse into a future world, told in stunningly beautiful prose. Now, too, patterns began to emerge. There were people who seemed to just disappear, and the city had no answer for this except rumors—murmurs of an invisible killer from the tattered remnants of Wick’s contacts and my contact […]

THE FISHER OF BONES by Sarah Gailey – Review
Posted November 20, 2017 by Tammy in 3 1/2 stars, Reviews / 9 Comments

The nitty-gritty: A short but thought-provoking and dark retelling of the story of Moses. Many of you are familiar with Serial Box, the company that has put serial storytelling back on the map, with recent stories like Bookburners, Tremontaine and The Witch Who Came in from the Cold. They offer short weekly “episodes” written by […]

ARTEMIS by Andy Weir – Review #RRSciFiMonth
Posted November 17, 2017 by Tammy in 4 stars, Reviews / 15 Comments

The nitty-gritty: Another winner for Andy Weir, full of his trademark irreverent humor, non-stop action, and fascinating science. Like many other readers, I was a little scared to read Weir’s follow up to The Martian, which earned five enthusiastic stars from me a few years ago. By now you’ve probably read a bunch of reviews […]

THE NINE by Tracy Townsend – Review

THE NINE by Tracy Townsend – Review
Posted November 6, 2017 by Tammy in 5 stars, Reviews / 14 Comments

The nitty-gritty: A complex and unique story that delivers on all levels. Simply brilliant! I was initially drawn to The Nine because of it’s brightly colored cover, but believe me when I say the cover pales in comparison to the story that’s inside. This is one of my best, happiest surprises of the year, and […]
