I usually avoid reading other reviews of books before writing my own, but for some reason I scrolled down when getting the links for this book. While it looks like the majority of the ratings are positive, the top few reviews that showed up on Goodreads absolutely trashed this book, which is unfortunate. You might … Continue reading Review: Heart of the Dragon (Supernatural #4) by Keith R.A. DeCandido
Review: WILDFIRE (Hidden Legacy #3) by Ilona Andrews
This was a thrilling conclusion to a major part of the Hidden Legacy story line. Nevada Baylor's family and her interactions with them are my one of my favorite parts of this series, and it was exciting to see plot progression on that front. For some reason, I had it stuck in my head that … Continue reading Review: WILDFIRE (Hidden Legacy #3) by Ilona Andrews

Review: BONE KEY (Supernatural #3) by Keith R.A. DeCandido
My quest to become a genuine Keith R.A. DeCandido fangirl continues today with his second Supernatural media tie-in novel. I enjoyed this one a lot more than his first, Nevermore, for a variety of reasons. While I thought he did an okay job in Nevermore of capturing Sam and Dean's characters, I know that was a major complaint … Continue reading Review: BONE KEY (Supernatural #3) by Keith R.A. DeCandido

It's a joke column that literally makes up a book review based on what the cover … Continue reading STEEL BLOOD featured on The Skiffy and Fanty Show: A Book By Its Cover!
Review: DYSTOPIA BOY: THE UNAUTHORIZED FILES by Trevor D. Richardson
Disclaimer: I consider myself friends with the author, and I received a harcopy version of this novel through a book trade with him. There's so much talent packed into this novel that I'm honestly not sure where to begin. It's a beast of a book that almost drags on too long, but at the end, … Continue reading Review: DYSTOPIA BOY: THE UNAUTHORIZED FILES by Trevor D. Richardson

Review: NEVERMORE (Supernatural #1) by Keith R.A. DeCandido
There are four of us in a group of some of my best friends, and we're all fans of the show Supernatural (though some of us are more caught up than others, ahem). Along the way, we even acquired nicknames from the main characters, and it should surprise none of you that I'm Sam. So when … Continue reading Review: NEVERMORE (Supernatural #1) by Keith R.A. DeCandido
Review: WHITE HOT (Hidden Legacy #2) by Ilona Andrews
This series is a prime example for one of the major rules that applies to book buying: Don't judge a book based on its cover (or publisher). If you're already a fan of Ilona Andrews' other books, there's absolutely no reason that you won't also enjoy this series. The romance is there to support and … Continue reading Review: WHITE HOT (Hidden Legacy #2) by Ilona Andrews

Review: GENRENAUTS: SEASON ONE by Michael R. Underwood
Sometimes, you find a published story that incorporates major elements of an idea you had once upon a time and you're disappointed, because now it's already "taken." But other times, you stumble across a story that's very similar to a vague idea you had back in high school and you're thrilled, because someone has already … Continue reading Review: GENRENAUTS: SEASON ONE by Michael R. Underwood

Author Interview with Shaun Hume
Shaun Hume reached out to me a few weeks ago regarding a possible review for his book (he complimented me on my book covers, which is the fastest way to this author's heart) (other than salty black licorice). Unfortunately, I was unable to fit him into my schedule, but I was still intrigued enough that … Continue reading Author Interview with Shaun Hume

Review: BITE SOMEBODY by Sara Dobie Bauer
Disclaimer: I acquired this novel at a convention through a book trade with the author, whom I consider a friend.

Review: “My Name is Markham” (A Chronicles of St. Mary’s Short Story” by Jodi Taylor
This short story is very different from anything else in the Chronicles of St. Mary's series specifically for what is says on the tin: The narrator of this story is security officer Markham rather than historian Max. Now, this isn't the first time this has happened (see "The Very First Damned Thing", narrated by none … Continue reading Review: “My Name is Markham” (A Chronicles of St. Mary’s Short Story” by Jodi Taylor
Spotlight & Review: MEMORIES OF MAGIC (Fay of Skye #3) by Cara McKinnon
Once I fell in love with the Fay of Skye series, I could no longer claim to dislike romance, historical romance, or paranormal romance. But I definitely fell in love with this series because of the incredible twist McKinnon puts on her tales, setting them in an alternate universe and focusing on both diversity and … Continue reading Spotlight & Review: MEMORIES OF MAGIC (Fay of Skye #3) by Cara McKinnon
