I received a free ARC from the author in return for an honest review. This in now way impacts my opinion. I’ve been enjoying this series so far. The basic premise revolves around the people of earth discovering an alien technology that allows them to travel to different forms of earth that have deviated somewhere from the timeline of our […]
The Fearing, by John FD Taff
This is a review of a four part series, which I have received free copies of each novella from the publisher (Grey Matter Press) in return for an honest review. This in no way impacts my opinion. I’ve reviewed each book separately on Goodreads, and you can find the links here: Book I – Fire and Rain Book II […]
The Rage of Dragons, by Evan Winter
This book was busy making a name for itself in 2019, so when it popped up in my library, I decided to jump in and see what all the fuss was about. This “African” (the diversity of cultures in that continent make this a broad statement) based fantasy revolves around Tau, a young lower class man, who embarks on a […]
Monsters and Mythical Creatures from Around the World, by Heather Frigiola
I received an ARC of the book from the author in exchange for an honest review. In now way does this impact my opinions. I went for a rare non-fiction book here, as it was about mythology and folklore, one (two?) of my favourite subjects. There’s no plot or tagline to hook you in, so I won’t write a mini-synopsis, […]
The Reaping, by Bernard Taylor
I received a free audible copy from the author with the expectation of an honest review. This in no way impacts my opinion. Tom Rigsby is a successful owner of a paint supply store. He is a widowed father, lives with his sister and has a semi-serious girlfriend. While his life has certainly not been all fun and games, these […]
Wraith Knight by CT Phipps
So here’s the thing. I actually bought the e-book of Wraith Knight about a million years ago, but the author also gave me a free audio copy with no expectation of a review. I think I might have won it in some Facebook contest on his page. I’ll still review it though. As I’m terrible at lying about stuff, the […]
A Five Star Rant
Before I churn out another word of a review- I’d like to add that I am again changing my review style. Why, you say? Well, here’s the rub. I like or love books for different reasons. Some may be knockout potential award-winning novels, while some may be “mere” entertainment for entertainment’s sake. I might love them equally for completely different […]
Upon the Flight of the Queen by Howard Andrew Jones
I received a free copy from NetGalley in return for an honest review. This in no way impacts my opinions. I read For the Killing of Kings way back in February 2019, and I remember my air of trepidation going into it, as I had read a couple of ho-hum books from Netgalley prior. However, in spite of my concerns […]
Chains of Blood by ML Spencer
I received a free copy from the author in return for an honest review. This in no way impacts my opinions. We return to the fantastic world of the Rhenwars Saga, except in the not-so distant future. The Well of Tears is no more, as are Darien Lauchlin and Kyel Archer – one died a hero, the other a demon. […]
Pale Kings by Micah Yongo
I received a free copy from NetGalley in return for an honest review. This in no way impacts my opinions. You know when a car breaks down, and you push it to give the engine a jump. Well, at the start, it’s flippin’ hard, and you wonder if you’ll ever get the thing moving. Then the car starts to roll […]
