All three are great ways to share the books you’re either reading, or shifting to the top of your… Continue reading

REVIEW: Seithe & Darkroom by Poppet
I don’t normally combine my reviews, but the moment I finished Seithe (also published under a Strike under the name Gemma Rice), I absolutely knew I wanted to dive into Darkroom and work with the two at once. With Exploits being my only exposure to Poppet, I really didn’t know what to expect from either of… Continue reading

REVIEW: Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Eight Volume 8: Last Gleaming
First of all, let me be clear – I love Willow, Angel, Xander, Buffy, Giles, Spike, and Faith . . . generally, depending upon my mood, in that order. I was a huge fan of both Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel when they were on TV, passing up dates, missing appointments, and blowing off family… Continue reading

REVIEW: Ashera's Curse by A. E. Lathem
Take a married gay couple, put them in an archaeological dig (on an alien planet), toss in a vengeful ex-lover who refuses to accept that her finance married another man, and then tie them all together with a mysterious gender-transforming bracelet. With all of that going for it, even the worst writer on the face… Continue reading

Hops, Follows, and Tag Alongs, Oh My!
The 18 & Over Book Blogger Tag Along is courtesy of Bitten by Paranormal Romance! “Please tell us a little about yourself and what you read?” My tastes are, to put it mildly, eccentric. Epic fantasy (dragons, elves, magic, etc.) is my oldest and dearest literary love, followed by horror (the darker the better), science-fiction… Continue reading

Recent Covers that Caught my Eye
Just for something different, I thought I’d share with you some recent covers that caught my eye. As much as I love the convenience of reading e-books on my Sony, I do miss having a gorgeous, glossy, textured cover to glance at from time-to-time. I’ve never bought a book just for the cover, but I… Continue reading

"Waiting On" Wednesday – The Fly-By-Nights by Brian Lumley
“Waiting On” Wednesday spotlights upcoming releases that everyone’s excited about (created by Jill at Breaking The Spine.) The one book that I absolutely cannot wait to get my pretty little hands on this week is: The Fly-By-Nights by Brian Lumley: 150 years ago the world ended. Bombs fell, winter came, and the survivors fled underground… Continue reading

REVIEW: The Butterfly and the Flame by Dana De Young
The Butterfly and the Flame is a book I’ve been anxiously awaiting for over a year now, ever since Dana began teasing it under the title of Emily. Equal parts dystopian fantasy, social commentary, and transgender drama, it’s the kind of novel that both enlightens and entertains. The story is set in a future America… Continue reading
