I actually own this one. Believe it or not, not all my books are ARCs. Anyway… I’ve wanted to read this book for a long time, but the discovery of Netgalley tended to push back what I wanted to read in favour of ARCs. When I got book two to read (ironically through Netgalley), I bumped it up my TBR. […]
I received a free audio copy from the author in exchange for an honest review. This isn’t a single book review, but a trilogy review, so it may look a little different to the normal one. Darnuir, Prince of Dragons, is reborn twenty years after his arrogance causes a split among the races of his land. The Dragons (not the […]
I received a free uncorrected proof from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. The world has changed. Humans once dominated the globe, now we live huddled in walled towns, afraid of the outside world where everything is dangerous. Koli is one such human. He has the same miniscule dreams of everyone else, then he finds a piece of old […]
I received a free copy from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. This in no way affects my opinion. So, you’re probably wondering why Netgalley are offering ARCs for a book that was first published over 100 years ago. Well, you won’t find the answer here. But now, in the 21st century, The Beetle is more of a niche […]
I received an unedited proof from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. This in no way impacts my opinion (and so on). I heard a lot of talk about this book on the usual channels, so it was kind of a no-brainer that I went hunting for it on Netgalley. And glad I am that “office gossip” sometimes […]
In a not too distant future, Google has taken over the world. Hang on, Babel has taken over Google and taken over the world. Their secret (other than immense wealth)? A substance called Nyxia, found on an alien planet, which can be manipulated to do almost anything. Emmett Atwater, a poor kid from Detroit, is chosen to go to said […]
I received a free audio copy from the author in exchange for an honest review. This in no way impacts my opinion. Salem Hawley returns as the emancipated slave who dares take on the Lovecraft canon. This time Salem travels to Arkham to retrieve a tome, Al Azif, before it falls into the wrong hands. When Salem arrives at the […]
I received a free copy from Netgalley with the option of giving an honest review. All my opinions are my own. With Horrorstör by Grady Hendrix coming out a couple of years ago, Finna isn’t the first speculative fiction stab at Ikea. However, in many ways, it might be more original. The story tells of Ava and Jules, formerly romantically […]
I received a free ARC from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. This in no way impacts my opinion. I seem to be on an apocalyptic – post or otherwise – bent recently with, The Book of Koli my last read and now Laura Lam’s Goldilocks. Both featured climate change as the major world-dooming feature, but while “Koli” […]
I received a free copy from the author (well, his wife) in exchange for an honest review. This in no way impacts my opinions. I hate typing those words at the start of reviews, but unfortunately certain global entities require it for posting reviews on certain sites, so there ya go. Anyway, I started reading this at a particularly busy […]
