You may remember me reading a short story earlier this year called Nine Parts Bluster. I quite enjoyed it. It was quite a well put together piece of dark fantasy, where the main character, one Senesio Suleiman Zhao, master monster hunter and wearer of ridiculous beaver hats, 'helped' some villagers rid themselves of an unfortunate...

Review: Hell’s Rejects by M.R. Forbes
Ooooh Sci-fi. I heart you a lot. I'm on a bit of a sci-fi audiobook binge lately, having listened to 5 or 6 of them in a row. I couldn't resist adding this one to the mix, having loved both M.R. Forbes' Ghosts & Magic series and Jeff Hays' narration of it. So, one assumes... Continue Reading →
Review: Veiled Intentions by Michael R. Miller
I will admit that it took me entirely too long to revisit the world of the Dragon's Blade. Not by any fault of its own... I just got busy with a pile of other stuff. You know how it is. It was very patient with me though, staying on my kindle and looking pretty until... Continue Reading →
Review: Faithless by Graham Austin-King
Vacation is over, time to go back into the world. Work and chores and blah. Luckily, I had this book to help my woeful transition back into the world of being an adult along. Oh, and also, I was given a copy of this book by the author in exchange for my honest review of... Continue Reading →
Review: Dragonship by JP Ashman
A nice short story for a vacation I'm-on-the-porch-and-am-not-in-Houston-so-it's-not-hot-as-balls-and-I-can-actually-read-out-here-and-not-die-of-heat-stroke read is always a good thing, amirite? 😀 Beln, Gellborn officer aboard a red dragonship has reached the near-peak of her career. But ordered to pursue a rare, wild dragon by her sadistic captain, Beln is torn between those loyalties bred into her and those grown anew... Continue Reading →
Review: The Emerald Blade by Steven Kelliher
Ohhh Landkist. I'm glad that you are back, because I'm ready for some more crazy fire-sword wielding elemental adventures! Also, I was given a copy of this book by the author in exchange for an honest review of it. 😀 It took me a while to read, but to be honest, I'm on vacation, writing... Continue Reading →
Review: Chaste by Jesse Teller
Sometimes I just really like a dark fantasy story, and this one is, uh... pretty damn dark. 😀 Most of my reading these days is either primarily at night right before I sleep, or at work in between bouts of actually doing work. This one happened a little more of the former than the latter,... Continue Reading →
Review: Stone Cold Bastards by Jake Bible
Gargoyles! This is a type of creature that you don't often see in fantasy. There's so much amazing potential for them as either protagonists or antagonists in fantasy though. This book came to my attention because the audiobook is narrated by one of my favorite narrators. I read the blurb, and it sounded frigging awesome all... Continue Reading →
Review: Lost Boy by Christina Henry
There are two stories in this world (and their Disney movie adaptations if I'm being real with you guys) that I have enjoyed since I was old enough to read... or, y'know... form meaningful opinions on things. One is Alice in Wonderland, and the other is Peter Pan. I'm just becoming aware of Christina Henry's books... Continue Reading →
Review: The Djinn Falls in Love – edited by Mahvesh Murad & Jared Shurin
I love, love, love me some djinn. Whether they're good, or bad, or a bit of both, I love djinn. Possessing people, living in a lamp, or granting wishes- It is allllll good. So, of course when I learned that there was an anthology coming that was full of djinn stories, well, I jumped all... Continue Reading →
