BOOK REVIEW: SONGS OF INSURRECTION by JC Kang

(Full disclosure: I do know the author, but I purchased the book on my own and was not asked to review it--in fact, he told me he was afraid for me to read it! This is my honest review.) I wanted this to come out last week, since the author just released his rebranded version of … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: SONGS OF INSURRECTION by JC Kang

When Reviews Go Bad

So I took a bit of a gamble the other day. Usually I have a schedule of books that I'll read in order, to make sure that I get reviews enough for the weeks ahead. Since I'm generally a quick reader, I don't often have trouble with this. But there comes a moment when you … Continue reading When Reviews Go Bad

BOOK REVIEW: THE WORD EXCHANGE by Alena Graedon

Continuing on in my quest for books that I lost track of during my early days on NetGalley, we come to one of the few books on the list I remember requesting--and being very irritated when I'd found I'd run out of time for it. That was about all I remembered about it. Reading the … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: THE WORD EXCHANGE by Alena Graedon

BOOK REVIEW: THE JEKYLL REVELATION by Robert Masello

If one thing is evident about me and my literary affections (and there's a lot more than one thing, but let's just go with it here) it's that all you need to do is mention Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde to get my attention. I am a huge fan of the story, of all its … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: THE JEKYLL REVELATION by Robert Masello

BOOK REVIEW: HIGHWAY 13 TO MANHATTAN by Kourtney Heintz

I received a copy of this book through NetGalley in exchange for my honest review. So just a couple weeks ago, I read book one in this series, THE SIX TRAIN TO WISCONSIN, and I absolutely loved it. I was excited to get into the next book and see how things started to resolve and grow … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: HIGHWAY 13 TO MANHATTAN by Kourtney Heintz

BOOK REVIEW: THE SIX TRAIN TO WISCONSIN by Kourtney Heintz

I received a free copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review. I get emails from NetGalley on a semi-regular basis, and often the books don't strike me. (I think I need to stop telling people I like thrillers, because 90% of all the ones I ever see promoted don't sound … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: THE SIX TRAIN TO WISCONSIN by Kourtney Heintz

BOOK REVIEW: THE JUDAS GAME by Ethan Cross

I received a copy of this book from The Story Plant in exchange for my honest review. Two things stood out about this book to me as soon as it came in the mail. One, is that it's by Ethan Cross. I've read Cross' work before (see my review for BLIND JUSTICE here) and while … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: THE JUDAS GAME by Ethan Cross

BOOK REVIEW: DREAMS OF GODS AND MONSTERS by Laini Taylor

It's been a long time since I read the first two books in this series. I fairly well mainlined them when I first got them, entranced by the world Karou and Akiva were showing me. It's not surprising; I've always liked angels. But this one stayed out of my grasp for a while, and after … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: DREAMS OF GODS AND MONSTERS by Laini Taylor

BOOK REVIEW: BEDDING THE WRONG BROTHER/THIS MAGIC MOMENT by Virna DePaul

(I have no idea what's up with the title. I got it under the first title, it's on Goodreads as the second title... I don't know what's up, so you get both. Yay?) I love any kind of story that balances on family dynamics. One of my all-time favorite stories I ever worked on with … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: BEDDING THE WRONG BROTHER/THIS MAGIC MOMENT by Virna DePaul
