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 […]
Julie’s Review: I thoroughly enjoyed Out of the Easy. I loved the way it was written and the overall tone of the book. It was so well researched and I felt like I was really there in 1950s Nawlins hanging out in the Quarter and seeing all the goings on. I really enjoyed the way […]
Lynn’s Review: Is it possible to both really like and really dislike a book at the same time? That’s how I feel about All The Bring Things. Theo Finch and Violet Mackey meet at the top of a bell tower, where they are both thinking about jumping. But in the end, they save each […]
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 […]

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 […]
Lynn’s Review: If you’ve ever read a contemporary science fiction book and wondered why there is no mention of any other contemporary science fiction in the book, then Armada is the book for you. In Armada, Ernest Cline posits that for forty years, society has been enjoying science fiction in movies, tv, and books […]
Julie’s Review: The City Center is an interesting futuristic dystopia with sci-fi elements that I found very interesting. The people living in the City Center are genetically engineered to be a certain way, and only later do we realize the true sinister purpose for this. I thought the overall premise was great, the main character […]
