SNOW & POISON – Melissa de la Cruz

It is 1621 and the widowed Duke of Bavaria is getting married again. It is an extra special event as the duke is also introducing his daughter, Sophie, to Bavaria high society. Sophie isn’t particularly excited about the event, but her tone changes when she meets Philip – a prince, heir to the throne in… Continue reading

THE ART OF DESTINY – Wesley Chu

Jian had been The One. The Prophecy had proclaimed that a ‘chosen one’ would rise up, powerful and skillful enough to defeat the Eternal Khan – the immortal god-king. All signs pointed to Jian, and despite a seeming ineptitude for combat, he was taken on and trained by Taishi – an old woman whose greatness… Continue reading

THE HUNGER AND THE DUSK – graphic novel

I really liked this book. I’ve been interested in reading more graphic novels lately, but have been somewhat disappointed by the offerings. This looked interesting, but I know that graphic novel covers are often not what the interior art looks like. Not so in this case. The artwork inside is just as nice as this… Continue reading

PLANET HAVOC – Tim Waggoner

I have no idea what it means that this is “A Zombicide Invader Novel” except that is must be part of a series or from a video game or tv show. I wanted to read this because author Tim Waggoner is one of my newer favorite authors – and he hooked me right away with… Continue reading

STRANGERS FROM THE SKY – Margaret Wander Bonanno

STAR TREK WEEK There was a time that I read every Star Trek novel as soon as they were published. Until the mid-1980’s, these all featured Captain Kirk, Spock, and the rest of the crew from the original series and with only two or three a year, it was easy to keep up with the… Continue reading

THE PRICE OF THE PHOENIX – Sondra Marshak & Myrna Culbreath

STAR TREK WEEK In 1977, when this book was first published, we Star Trek fans were still hungry for anything we could get that was Star Trek related. We had the original series, and we’d already seen the animated series come and go but we were only just starting to get the books (this was only the fourth Star Trek novel… Continue reading

EMISSARY – J. M. Dillard

STAR TREK WEEK Commander Benjamin Sisko is still struggling over the death of his wife, Jennifer, at the battle known as Wolf 359 (where the Borg nearly wiped out the entire Federation fleet), but he needs to put forth his best efforts in order to raise his young son, Jake. Commander Sisko is assigned the… Continue reading

THE OLYMPIAN AFFAIR – Jim Butcher

We’ve finally got the second book (third book?) in Jim Butcher’s The Cinder Spires series. I wasn’t particularly impressed with the first book, but this is Jim Butcher – author of one of the most popular urban fantasy series ever with The Dresden Files! Surely he can recapture some of that magic (pun intended). The… Continue reading

CRIMSON CLIMB – E. K. Johnston

I have not kept up with the Star Wars literary catalog. If you include the animated series’, I have not stayed up to date with the shows and I’m not entirely sure why. But what I find as I try to get back in to the Star Wars world(s) is that there are a LOT… Continue reading

THE TAINTED CUP – Robert Jackson Bennett

Robert Jackson Bennett is easily one of my favorite authors currently writing in the sf/f field. His world-building is strong, detailed, and comes across so very real. His stories are complex and while not always described, there is clearly history and future to the current events. And his characters are unique and admirable for their… Continue reading

THE BITCH’S TALE – Kelly Alleyn

Decima is an ambitious, sex-crazed TV presenter. She’s the host of a talk-show in which she claims that her magical powers (she’s a witch), combined with her natural allure make her irresistible to anyone whom she desires. And she desires everyone. She believes that the charm of her show is knowing that the guest du… Continue reading

MISLAID IN PARTS HALF-KNOWN – Seanan McGuire

Antsy is struggling to be comfortable and accepted in the land behind the doors, where wayward children often find themselves. She had gotten kicked out of The Shop Where the Lost Things Go in the previous book and now finds her way to Eleanor West’s School for Wayward Children. She’d like nothing more than to fit… Continue reading
