I wanted to like this book, I really did. But in all honesty it fell flat for me. I’ve been reading the THIRDS series since I picked it up when I was between books in the Cut & Run series by Abigail Roux. It became a sort of popcorn series for… Read more »

Review: The Immortals by Jordanna Max Brodsky
I’m always intrigued by books where I can’t decide if I like the main character or not. Selene DiSilva, formerly known as the goddess Artemis, is not the most likable person. She may have lost her divine powers along with the rest of the Greek gods, but she’s never really… Read more »

Review: Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs
Somehow, I managed to go into this book with zero expectations and very little knowledge of the plot. I blame my recent book slump for being totally oblivious to pretty much everything but the title. But going in blind actually worked out quite well for me, based on some of… Read more »

Review: Chimera by Mira Grant
Chimera is the final book in Mira Grant’s Parasitology trilogy, and it’s a solid finale to the story. It just didn’t grip me as much as the previous two books did. This review will be as spoiler-free as possible, but there will inevitably be some spoilers for the previous two… Read more »

Review: Brother by Ania Ahlborn
Ever get to the end of a book and think… the hell did I just read? That was me at the end of Brother. And not in a bad “the hell did I just read?” way, but more in a way that’s got me questioning whether this particular style of horror… Read more »

Review: Aurora by Kim Stanley Robinson
I’ve never been the biggest fan of hard science fiction, mainly because I like fiction that’s heavily character-driven, and a lot of hard SF seems to sacrifice character for science. I had that problem with Aurora to a point, though I did think some of the characters were far more well… Read more »

Review: Trailer Park Fae by Lilith Saintcrow
This was an odd book. Not that that’s negative; in fact, I actually liked the book quite a lot. But Saintcrow has managed to write the fae so alien that I felt slightly off kilter during my entire read, and that’s an impressive feat. The book is filled nearly to… Read more »

Review: Within These Walls by Ania Ahlborn
If you’re a fan of being thoroughly creeped out, you really can’t go wrong by picking up this book. The story of a struggling true-crime writer, his disintegrating marriage, and his contentious relationship with his young teenage daughter, Within These Walls is an effective, artfully written horror novel. Lucas Graham was… Read more »

Review: The Last Policeman Trilogy by Ben H. Winters
This is a bit of an odd review because I’m reviewing the trilogy as a whole instead of each book separately (and unfortunately there isn’t a combined edition, so the book title and cover are for the first book in the series), but it just feels better to look at… Read more »

Review: The Deep by Nick Cutter
As a plague devastates the world, Luke Nelson gets a call. He needs to fly to the other side of the world, to the middle of the Pacific Ocean. His genius brother, Clayton, is working in a station at the deepest point on Earth, the Challenger Deep in the Marianas… Read more »
