THE STRANGE ADVENTURES OF RANGERGIRL – Tim Pratt
I have recently enjoyed a few of the new Tim Pratt novels and I thought maybe I would go back and read some of his earlier works. As it turns out, this is apparently his first published novel (if my sources are correct). This is the story of Marzipan (“Marzi”) – a young woman who… Continue reading

WAYWARD – Chuck Wendig
Book Two?! This is the second book in a duology?! I’m such a Chuck Wendig fan … how did I miss the first book? Fortunately, I never felt like I was missing anything as relationships and circumstances felt well explained through the course of the book. The story: Five years ago, many ordinary Americans fell… Continue reading

ELEUTHERIA – Allegra Hyde
Willa Marks was raised by conspiracy-theory alarmist parents. As an adult, Willa leaves home but is stuck in a dead-end job. Until, that is, she meets Sylvia Gill, a Harvard professor who studies social movements. Sylvia is everything Willa has been looking for, and the professor has all the right answers for Willa’s growing concerns… Continue reading

LOST IN THE MOMENT AND FOUND – Seanan McGuire
Of all of author Seanan McGuire’s different series, I think I am enjoying this one the most. The underlying tone that traverses the books is really intoxicating. This book, like most in this series, can be read as an individual book (there’s a beginning, middle, and an end … no cliffhangers to goad you into… Continue reading

THE FINAL STRIFE – Saara El-Arifi
In a cruel empire, in a different world, there is a caste system at work in which people are sorted by the color of their blood. Red blood (“Embers”) is for the elite group, in control of everything. Blue blood (“Dusters”) is for the working class. And those with clear blood (“Ghostings”) are relegated to… Continue reading

DEFINITELY DEAD – Charlaine Harris
Sookie’s got a new boyfriend and he’s a real tiger. No, really. He’s a tiger. A were-tiger. If you don’t know Sookie Stackhouse by now, the Louisiana bayou waitress who can read the minds of other humans, but can’t read the minds of the dead (like her ex-boyfriend, vampire Bill Compton, and her ex-boyfriend, vampire… Continue reading

ARMAGEDDON 2419 A.D. – Philip Francis Nowlan
Philip Francis Nowlan’s Armageddon 2419 A.D. is a sci-fi classic, a book I’ve long wanted to read and I finally got around to it. For those who think you’ve never heard of this book, chances are you know of it by the name of the central figure … Buck Rogers. It’s 1927 and WWI vet Anthony Rogers,… Continue reading

TERMINAL PEACE – Jim C. Hines
Somehow I missed the first two books in this trilogy, but if you’re going to come to a series late, reading the ending is the way to go. Marion “Mops” Adamopoulos is a janitor. She and her crew were trained to clean spaceships, not to fight battles. But a war is on the rise and… Continue reading

SEA OF TRANQUILITY – Emily St. John Mandel
I’d been hearing a bit of buzz about this book and so I was quite looking forward to it. 1912, Vancouver Island. Eighteen-year-old Edwin St. Andrew has crossed the Atlantic by steamship. He enters the Canadian wilderness, open to exploring and taking in what he might see when he hears the haunting sounds of a violin… Continue reading

HEX-RATED – Jason Ridler
Take Harry Dresden from the uber-popular Dresden Files series and put him in a ‘sleaze’ novel from the late 1960’s (ala my recently reviewed Man From O.R.G.Y. series) and you get something akin to Hex-Rated by Jason Ridler. It’s the 1970’s and James Brimstone is a newly licensed Private Investigator in Los Angeles. Brimstone was at one… Continue reading

THE SILVER NINJA – Wilmar Luna
There is a moderately interesting back-story to this book and my decision as to whether or not read and review it. At some point the author made this book available for early reviews. When I first was ready to read this, I did a little reading on the author’s website (there were big plans for… Continue reading

DRUNK ON ALL YOUR STRANGE NEW WORDS – Eddie Robson
Being a translator is difficult at the best of times – knowing multiple languages so thoroughly in order to be able to translate in real time – we can only imagine the challenges ahead when we make contact with intelligent life from new worlds and author Eddie Robson has imagined this for us in the… Continue reading
