Review: Straight Outta Fangton by C.T. Phipps
Having liked Phipp's Weredeer books, this one, that takes place in the same world but at (I think?) an earlier time, sounded interesting. And so, this review is based around a review copy of the audiobook. Thanks to the author for that review copy. Peter Stone is a poor black vampire who is wondering where... Continue Reading →

SPFBO Review: The Gods of Men by Barbara Kloss
I'm just gobbling up these hopefuls. I never doubted though - if Esme, Wol or Coffee like a book, there's a good, good chance that I will also like that book.
