GOD OF BROKEN THINGS – Cameron Johnston
The city Sethis is a ruined wasteland after the events of the previous book. Edrin Walker, a mage, survived the destruction of Sethis – though only just barely, as he managed to control the mind of the monster sent by the Skallgrim to destroy the city. Now Walker has a chip on his shoulder and Continue reading

THE SENSATION – Amanda Bridgeman
I feel like Steve Martin in The Jerk … I want to hold this up and run around saying, “The new Amanda Bridgeman book is out! The new Amanda Bridgeman book is here!” I have very much been looking forward to the release of this next volume in the Salvi Brentt series. Detective Salvi Brentt Continue reading

BASKETFUL OF HEADS – graphic novel
I haven’t read very many graphic novels lately, but when I saw this available for review, I was quick to get a copy. I think Joe Hill is one of the best writers of horror/dark fiction writing today. June Branch is visiting her boyfriend, Liam, during the last weekend of the summer. Liam is just Continue reading

BROKEN SHADOW – Jaime Fenn
I wasn’t a big fan of the first book in this series, but I already had the second book loaded on my Kindle and decided I would move forward with it, keeping an open mind as best as possible. Fortunately, for me, I did enjoy this book more than the previous volume. Rhia Harlyn has Continue reading

WOVEN – Michael Jensen & David Powers King
The literary world, especially YA, is filled with romantic fantasies – I assume it’s what the publishers see the readers wanting. It means that in order to stand out, the story needs to be unique and engaging, and Woven, by Michael Jensen and David Powers King does just that. Nels is a knight in all Continue reading

ACROSS THE GREEN GRASS FIELDS – Seanan McGuire
It’s not a secret that I’m a tremendous fan of Seanan McGuire’s work and no matter what kind of fantasy fiction you might like to read, McGuire probably writes it … and very well. Her Wayward Children series came on the scene in 2016 and everyone of them has been a really great read. And Continue reading

RUNNING WITH RHINOS – Ed Warner
Have you ever gone to a friend’s house to see photos and hear stories about their recent vacation? You reel with laughter at their exploits and gasp at their near-death experiences and at the end of the telling someone says, “You should write that down. It would make a great book!” This is that book. Continue reading

ALIVE IN SHAPE AND COLOR – anthology
Stories inspired by paintings? That makes a lot of sense. Stories, many by noted and respected authors, of classic, respected works of art? This should be really fantastic. Should be, but isn’t. In his foreword, editor Lawrence Block notes that this was to be a follow-up to his previous collection (In Sunlight or in Shadow) Continue reading

SMOKE AND SUMMONS – Charlie N. Holmberg
Sandis does not have a lot of control over her own life. She can be turned into a horrible monster and forced to the bidding of an ancient entity that controls her. Unlike other ‘vessels’ controlled by spirits, Sandis can be inhabited by different spirits – all of them powerful and all of the evil Continue reading

DEJA VU – Ian Hocking
Saskia Brandt is a detective in the year 2023. She has returned from a vacation to find that her receptionist is dead and she is a leading suspect in the murder. In another part of the city, university professor David Proctor is informed that the very special computer he has on loan from the university Continue reading

THE NATURALS – Jennifer Lynn Barnes
I am really sorry it took me so long to read this because this was wonderful. Cassie is a teen who is a natural at reading people. She’s never really thought of this as an exceptional talent other than how it has served her (winning big at poker, for instance). But others have noticed, and Continue reading

FROM THE GRAVE – David Housewright
Rushmore ‘Mac’ McKenzie is a private investigator, a former police officer, in St. Paul, Minnesota. He left the force in order to accept the reward money from a case he had solved. Police officers can’t accept reward money. Now a case from his police days has come back to haunt him. Literally. One of Mac’s Continue reading
