THE WAR AGAINST THE ASSHOLES – Sam Munson
I’ve had a long-held belief that many editors and publishers are afraid to admit when they don’t understand something. When the form of a written work is off just enough that it appears to be done on purpose and not because the author doesn’t know how to write, then it must be ‘new’ and ‘innovative’ Continue reading

TITANBORN – Rhett C. Bruno
I’m not quite sure what to make of this book. On the one hand, I was drawn in by the characters and the initial action of the story. On the other hand, it become rather obvious – almost a cliché of the adventure/sci-fi genre. We’re a few centuries in the future and a meteor strike Continue reading

THE POISON EATER – Shanna Germain
Shanna Germain’s The Poison Eater took me, delightfully, by surprise. Talia is a young woman just hoping to live another day. She survived her youthful days in a far city and has come to Enthwait where she has joined the ranks of others vying to become the new Poison Eater – a revered member of Continue reading

FREEKS – Amanda Hocking
Amanda Hocking is an author name that I recognize from my bookshelf browsing, but not someone I’d previously read. Her books seem to target the YA audience, with relationships and the paranormal as motivation and environment for her books. Freeks takes place in the world of a carnival. Who doesn’t like a carnival?! But in Continue reading

A FISTFUL OF CHARMS – Kim Harrison
I’ve been seeing these books around … at the bookstore, at the library, on-line … and they’ve really captured my attention. The sexy cover certainly helps, but as an avid reader of fantasy and ‘dark’ fantasy, I decided I couldn’t keep passing these up. I had to give this a try. A Fistful of Charms Continue reading

AUDIO MADE EASY – Ira White
Audio made easy? Yeah…that’s something I need since I have an interest but zero background in it. But … wait a minute … where’s the ‘easy’ part? To be fair, author Ira White does a nice job of explaining the equipment an audio engineer would likely use, in the simplest of terms. But he does Continue reading

DOWN AMONG THE STICKS AND BONES – Seanan McGuire
If you follow my reviews at all you’ll probably know that I think Seanan McGuire/Mira Grant is one of the best writers of urban fantasy currently writing/publishing. Her newer ‘Wayward Children’ series is a slight departure from the urban fantasy setting of her popular October Daye series but it is equally impressive and powerful. The Continue reading

RAMROD – Luke Short
THROWBACK THURSDAY: REVIEWING A REISSUE I think I am a member of a dying breed … a reader of ‘western’ fiction. There are very few new westerns being published (believe me, I’ve been looking), though there are a few, the majority of the westerns that I’ve been seeing are reprints of classic works. Ramrod, by Continue reading

THE TRUE MEANING OF SMEKDAY – Adam Rex
**WARNING — POTENTIAL SPOILERS AHEAD!** I like to borrow audio books from my local library for my commute and this book looked really interesting, though I had absolutely no idea what it was about. This is a YA book about how one young girl survived when aliens invaded earth and shuttled all the humans to Continue reading
