I have no idea what to say about the story. Recap that ? No way. It was so good, so twisted, bloody, raunchy, with the perfect amount of snark. I have found a favorite author. Every page was just so good, I read it slow wanting to absorb each word. I should have seen the twist right ? I didn't, oh s...

So I decided to go ahead and use this book for the In the Dark, Dark Woods square, because it actually does take place pretty squarely in the woods and it helps me keep the mystery secure of what actually lies beyond the river! Trust me, to spoil that would be to spoil the enjoyment of this whole bo...

That ending surprised the heck out of me!Joey Peacock may look sixteen but don’t let his youthful looks fool you. He’s a street savvy vampire who has been sucking blood from the femoral arteries of charmed ladies for decades. He has a wicked sense of humor and I truly enjoyed his ugly/funny/scary ta...

Look, it's not a bad book. But also totally not what I expected going in. 100 pages in, the story drags, even with a good half dozen or more gratuitous murders by three vampires (including one wearing a neck brace... maybe they explain that down the road). I wanted high speed highway murder ad...

Thomas, a disgraced knight, has found a young girl alone in a dead Norman village. An orphan of the Black Death, and an almost unnerving picture of innocence, she tells Thomas tha...

Christopher Buehlman weaves together some truly fascinating mythology with the gritty reality of a "modern" warlock to create a downbeat story of love, loss, addiction and magic. I love the concept of a modern-day set of wizards who use materials at hand -- like Skype and videotapes -- to talk to ...

At first their new life seems to be every...

*Sigh*. This book had such great potential and loads of missed opportunities. It follows a couple, Frank and Eudora, moving to a small town in the Depression-era South. Frank has inherited a house and land that stretches back generations and he travels there to write what he hopes to be a bestselle...

I am unsure how to rate this one. It was written well, but felt choppy at times and the pacing was a bit slow. I liked it, but it was missing something that I just can’t put my finger on. The relationship between Frank and Eudora seemed forced and didn’t get fully realized on the page for me and I a...
