This is free. Go get yourself a copy! Link hereIf these stories are any indication of what we can expect from Tor’s new horror line NightFire, we have some excellent horror fiction to look forward to in the brand new year! The production and narration is excellent and the writing is strong and polis...

I don't know what to say here without spoiling -- this series isn't making it easy for me to write about it. As bad as things looked last week -- there were plenty of avenues that were easy to see for things to work out. Not necessarily easily, but possible. It's still possible now, I'm sure, but ...

Huh. I'm still trying to figure out this series, I admit, but the one thing I didn't figure was that one episode would feature a party soaked in political intrigue. But it works -- it really, really works. Yeah, there's plenty of magic and swordplay in this series. But there's almost as much going...

All of the characters in Born of the Blade are struggling with their biggest challenge yet: a baby shower. It seemed a bit like an episode of a sitcom, or else maybe just a middle part of a book but as a separate part of the serial it was a bit strange. Of course, the baby shower itself is filled wi...

This feels like it starts from the same seed as LaValle's The Ballad of Black Tom, but goes in a completely different direction. Both are lovely, almost complimentary tales. While this is a second Persons Non Grata novella, John Persons' inclusion is more like The Doctor's in Blink than a regular ...

Love the prose and characters in this one, but it felt a little thin on plot. More like the outline of a story not quite completely fleshed out. Conceptually, this is another Lovecraft inspired tale with far better writing. The main character feels like one with a lot of opportunities for future ...

On my flight back to the states, I went on a bit of a Khaw bender, ending with this paranormal chick lit adventure about a werebear who's just trying to get laid and not kill anyone. This is the second paranormal chick lit story I've read this year, and I think it's a genre I fucking wish was real...

Series: Gods & Monsters #1 This was interesting because it was different, but I didn't end up enjoying the investigation portion all that much. It started off fairly strong, with Rupert talking about his "day" job as a chef to ghouls but the investigation seemed to mostly consist of Rupert doing m...

I encountered this by way of a tweet from the author quoting a sexist negative review that compared the gore herein to Kameron Hurley as though that were a bad thing. So of course I purchased it immediately. This is two shorter works with the same protagonist presented in three parts. The protagon...

First and foremost a big thank you to Book Smugglers who provided me with a copy of this book in exchange for a honest review! You ladies are the best! Confession time: I don't read a lot of romance, and I've never picked up a "chick-lit" book. (Not that I have anything against these genres at all...
