SMOKE EATERS – Sean Grigsby
Sean Grigsby’s Smoke Eaters is one of those books which I began reading with no idea what I would find inside. It came from Angry Robot publisher, so I assumed it would be science fantasy of some sort, but that’s about all I knew. Early in the opening chapter, Grigsby caught my attention with a… Continue reading

THE PLAYER KING – Avi
If you have spent any time at all reading or even looking for books for young readers then you’ve undoubtedly already run across the author Avi. His body of works and awards is lengthy, and deservedly so. Some of his works that I’ve enjoyed the most have been those that are more along a historical… Continue reading

UFO-1: FLESH HUNTERS – Robert Miall
THROWBACK THURSDAY – REVIEWING A BOOK FROM MY SHELF Guilty pleasure time! As a latch-key teen in the 1970’s, I grew up watching a good deal of television. My favorite was Star Trek, but when I got wind of a new sci-fi show coming out of Great Britain and that one of my local stations… Continue reading

THE FLIGHT GIRLS – Noelle Salazar
While I did request this book, looking for something more along the lines of historical fiction rather than a romance, but despite the strong romance angle here, I enjoyed this book. Audrey Coltrane learned to fly from her father back in Texas and her one goal in life is to buy the airfield where she… Continue reading

THE OUTLAW AND THE UPSTART KING – Rod Duncan
I’ll begin by saying that I think Rod Duncan is one of the freshest voices currently writing in science fantasy. If I see Duncan’s name on a book, I’m probably going to buy it (and there aren’t many authors about whom I would say that). The Outlaw and the Upstart King is the second volume… Continue reading

THE HEART FORGER – Rin Chupeco
Author Rin Chupeco’s The Bone Witch was a much-anticipated novel and received mostly positive reviews and so the second volume in The Bone Witch series is also a very much anticipated book. Fans of the first should appreciate this second, but for different reasons. In the first book, Chupeco gives us tremendous mood while laying… Continue reading

GRAFT – Matt Hill
In a gritty, apocalyptic-like future, a mechanic by the name of Sol steals vehicles in order to come up with the necessary parts to fix his customer’s vehicles. When he rips-off a luxury model he comes away with more than just a source of parts for his shop … Sol finds a three-armed woman whose… Continue reading

PAT SAVAGE: SIX SCARLET SCORPIONS – Kenneth Robeson
Okay… guilty pleasure time! I grew up reveling in the worlds of pulp action heroes and the greatest of these, for me, was Doc Savage. And apparently I’m not alone in this appreciation for classic pulps – there are some keeping the characters alive by writing new stories, with full approval from the owners of… Continue reading

MOONSHINE – Jasmine Gower
** WARNING – THIS REVIEW MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS** It is interesting how much a person’s mood or previous reading experience might impact a reader as they open a book. I had just finished two books in a row that I very much did not enjoy (not necessarily the most recent books posted on this blog)… Continue reading

FATALITY IN F – Alexia Gordon
I was quickly hooked on author Alexia Gordon’s Gethsemane Brown Mystery series and so was eager to dive in to this, Fatality in F, the fourth book in the series. It’s vacation time for Gethsemane Brown and she’s looking forward to a relaxing time with only a little performing – this at the opening ceremony… Continue reading

BLOOD BINDS THE PACK – Alex Wells
Sometimes a reader just doesn’t connect with certain writers. That appears to be the case for me here. As I started this book I had a sense of familiarity, but it wasn’t so strong that I immediately recognized where it was from. A little further in and it dawned on me that this was a… Continue reading

FROGCATCHERS – Jeff Lemire
I guess I just don’t get it. I mean, I understand this is a dark, allegorical tale of the meaning of life … “Where am I” “What is going to happen to me” “Is that it?” … but I don’t understand why. The book is 90+ pages of stylized art (and by ‘stylized’ I mean… Continue reading
