My Thoughts: I had the opportunity to be on Wendy Tyson’s TLC Blog Tour for her debut mystery novel, Killer Image, a few months ago. I really enjoyed her writing and the book, so when I was approached for the tour for her new series, I gladly accepted. The Seduction of Miriam Cross is rooted […]
A Powerful Work Of Art It’s not often that I read something and am struck by the sheer weight of how profound it is, but that is exactly what happened when I listened to this play. Intimate and yet at the same time universal, Disgraced by Ayad Akhtar completely undid me, leaving me deeply moved. Set in […]

Holly Black’s twist on vampirism, perhaps with more pathology than psychology, brings a fresh new look to the popular mythos of vampirism. I very much enjoyed the effort and thought that went into the world building Ms. Black created and how it was both familiar and fresh at the same time. At it’s heart, this […]
Pushy: Ahh…Jane and David. It was with immense pleasure that I delved back into the world that Mary Robinette Kowal built for them. Magical is such an inadequate word for the rich, lush, amazing alternate history Regency era world of the Glamourist Histories, and Without A Summer is as exceedingly enchanting as its predecessors. Heather: Stepping back […]
My Thoughts: The Artists Trilogy books have cemented my love for author Karina Halle, even though I was already a big fan of her new adult horror/romance Experiment in Terror series. She’s able to write such realistic, flawed, human characters that you simultaneously care about and hope to God that you never meet in real […]

Needless to say, when Teardrop was announced I was utterly excited and barely could calm down when I heard Lauren Kate […]
Supernatural eeriness meets Illuminati’s mystery and paired with a sweet Young Adult Romance! I admit, I am not very much into ghost stories and I usually stay far away from ghosts in YA – but when we meet ghosts as in my favorite TV show supernatural and when the author is Kami Garcia I know […]

Last year, the first book in this series Starling totally rocked my world! I adore a good Paranormal story and when they even have a good twist, I like them even more! The Startling series plays heavily with all kind of old Lore, but focuses a lot on Nordic Lore which I found incredible fascinating! […]
My Thoughts: Raven literally explodes back in time, appearing in a lightning bolt onto a highway during a storm in 2013. A semi-truck narrowly misses her, and even though she can’t remember who she is or where she is, she reluctantly decides to go with the kindly truck driver on the road to get out […]

My Thoughts: Brilliance is set in an alternate universe present day world, where starting in the early 1980s one percent of the earth’s human population are born gifted. These “Brilliants” or “Abnorms” or “Twists” depending on who you ask, have abilities that put them at a greater advantage to the normal rest of humanity. Some have […]
