The earth is protected by superheroes – who are really nothing more than vigilantes with some sort of unusual power. But this book isn’t the story of one of those superheroes … not really.

AWAKENING – Julie C. Gilbert
There are certain YA books that I recognize I am probably not going to enjoy. I would base this partly on themes, publisher’s descriptions of the book, and even, yes, book covers.

I’ll be honest … what got me interested in picking up this book is the note that this book is “the follow-up to Chuck Wendig’s Unclean Sprits.” Now, I haven’t read Wendig’s Unclean Spirits, but I am a fan of Wendig’s writing, so this very much caught my interest. Being a god isn’t what it used to… Continue reading

Laughter at the Academy is a collection of short works by Seanan McGuire, author of the October Daye series, Wayward Children series, Ghost Roads series, InCryptid series, and more! Like nearly… Continue reading
