To begin, I should probably let you know that I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review. Just FYI or whatever. I'm still going to be honest AF and probably definitely curse a lot. 😀 Merciless. Murderer. Monster. He has been called many names in his time. Built for war and... Continue Reading →
Review: The Empire of the Dead by Phil Tucker
I picked this one up on its release day, being a pretty big fan of Tucker's Chronicles of the Black Gate series. This one intrigued me because it was described to me as "necro-Sumerian Ocean's Eleven fantasy" which, let's all just be honest here, sounds badass AF. Who could resist? Certainly not me. It has...

But suddenly, they're different... stronger, smarter. What are the ravinors and what do they want?! This book is surely the way to find out! For hundreds of... Continue Reading →
Review: The Grey Bastards by Jonathan French
Guys… this book is fucking magic! It’s definitely one of those books that I loved so much that I’m pretty sure that this review is going to be mostly incoherent, so forgive me if this gets a little off-topic. It’s also going to be really, really hard to keep this spoiler-free, but for you guys,... Continue Reading →
Kristen’s Best of 2016
Now that the trash fire that was 2016 is over, shall we go back and look at my favorite books of the year?! Yes, yes we shall! 2016 was a really good year for me in 2 ways: books and baseball. Let me explain... No, it is too much. Let me sum up. I am... Continue Reading →
