In which Kristen attends a Carnival, of sorts. π Some call it purgatory, others know it as the in-between, but for those poor souls who are trapped there eternally, it is simply The Carnival β a macabre mockery where night is never-ending, and a sadistic creature known as The Fool reigns unchallenged.Β And The Fool...

SPFBO Review: Dragon Mount by Jennifer M. Eaton
As the friendly neighborhood kissy book expert, this one got sent my way. I don't dislike shifter romances, but some of them can make my eyes roll real hard. I get my silliness guards up pretty early on. So, silliness shields up! And here we go. Things canβt get any worse than being snatched by... Continue Reading →
Review: Death March by Phil Tucker
For me, at this point, Phil Tucker is one of those authors whose kickstarter I will immediately throw money at - which is a good description of what happened here. I was backer #2 on this one.

Review: The Dragon Hunter and the Mage by V.R. Cardoso
I'd heard a little bit about this book before I got started on it. So, when I was offered a copy of it, I gladly accepted. I received a free copy of the audiobook from the author, and in exchange, this is my honest review. Magic can make you invincible, if it doesnβt get you... Continue Reading →
Review: A Star-Reckoner’s Lot by Darrell Drake
Guys, I've finally reached the point in my TBR where I can branch out into books that I have been meaning to read forever. I made it! This book has been on the TBR for at least a year, so I'm glad I could finally get there. Ashtadukht is a star-reckoner. The worst there's ever... Continue Reading →
Review: Mestlven by Jesse Teller
This has been on my review requests pile for an age, but I've put it off because... uh, well the Perilisc books, if you're unfamiliar, are fairly dark. Like... seriously horrorish dark. And I was not in a good place for really-really-dark until... quarter past 2 days ago >.>; So here we are! I was... Continue Reading →
