Lynn’s Review: The is the second book I’ve read recently with tarot cards as major plot line. (Read my review of Book of Speculation here.) The two books are completely different, however. Starting with the fact that I actually enjoyed Poison Princess. Instead of reading the cards and family curses, the characters in Poison Princess […]
Julie’s Review: What a ride. For those of you not familiar with this series, it is absolutely frightening because of how realistic it feels while reading it. This type of thing feels like it really could happen and that makes it so dark and so eye opening. It really makes you think about the horrible […]
Lynn’s Review: Crown of Midnight is the second in the Throne of Glass series by Sarah J. Maas. (You can read my review of Throne of Glass here.) In this installment, Celaena is settling into her life as the King’s Assassin. She’s travelling around the kingdom, per the king’s orders. But instead of killing […]
Lynn’s Review: Is it odd that I’ve recently read an alternate history book and a book about a girl pretending to be a boy? And Leviathan had both. Let’s start with the format review: Julie listened to the audio. But I read a hardcover copy of the book. With all the amazing drawings […]
Lynn’s Review: Vengeance Road is not your average western genre romance. It’s an actual capital “w” Western. With a girl as the lead character. We meet Kate Thompson in a saloon. She’s on a literal vengeance road, searching for the murderous gang who killed her pa. But, the thing is, she’s disguised herself as […]
Lynn’s Review: I picked up The Ring and the Crown as a free audio download from Audio Sync over the summer. And I really didn’t read the description first. Or if I did, I didn’t remember reading it when I decided to start listening to the audio book. And I had some serious misconceptions […]
Lynn’s Review: It’s been 9 years since we last met up with Philip Mercer, the globe-trotting, disaster-diverting, geologist from Jack DuBrul. Mr. DuBrul has been off co-writing the Juan Cabrillo books with Clive Cussler. (You can read my review of the latest Cabrillo, Piranha, novel here.) . And now, he’s back writing the Mercer […]
Julie’s Review: You know how much I love this author (I even mention her in our author crush post). So then you know how excited I was to read her recent release. The premise for The Stars Never Rise is quite exciting; I mean, I eat up stories about demons and exorcists (or slayers, or […]
Lynn’s Review: Prisoner is the second book in The Traveler series by Dennis W. Green. (You can read my review of Traveler here.) Trav Becker is back. Along with all of the other Travs. And Sams. A year has past since the first book in the series. A year in which Trav has moved […]
Julie’s Review: Unwind caught me by surprise and blew me away. Seriously, it tackles a very sensitive topic head-on (abortion) and creates a scary world where unwanted children can be “storked” (abandoned on someone’s doorstep) and can later be “unwound” rather than aborted. Unwinding is taking someone apart organ by organ to use for transplants […]
