I don’t typically read books with this subject matter so I was surprised how much I enjoyed this novel. There wasn’t any specific character I liked the best, I liked how the story progressed, how the author explained things, and the excitement the novel provided. There was closure at the end of the ...
3.5, almost a 4. Or a 4 with a few issues. I could actually see this making a good movie, it has that kind of structure, and overall I really rather liked it. The plot is actually rather fun. The title is in fact "Frostbite: A werewolf tale" so that there's werewolves in it isn't actually a spoi...
I received this book via NetGalley to give an honest review. Seize the Night is a straight up vampire book. I think there is a bit of something within each story that someone is going to enjoy. So if you don't like one story don't give up just give another story a try. I love anthologies and the wa...
You know an anthology is going to be special when 1) the stories are all new and written for said anthology; 2) the editor has stated his intention to ensure that all the tales will feature vampires that are evil, nasty, ravenous and do not sparkle (I may have added that last bit), and 3) that edito...
Let me start by being very up front about this audiobook. I had started to listen to it about a month or 2 before. And I had to put it down. It was so hard to get into. Issues with the narrator (just sounding so young and sorta boring), the character (just sounding too damn naive and too victimy for...
Given that I've grown rather tired of zombies, dystopian futures, and coming of age angst, it's surprising how much I enjoyed Positive. It's neither great literature nor a genre blockbuster, but David Wellington's latest is an entertaining tale of survival against all odds with just enough flourishe...
New York City, Manhattan at leaf is still holding on. The surrounding cities are left to rot. The zombies, control them, living in the crumbling ruins. Manhattan is semi safe, not having seen a zombie in over 15 years. The island is a sort of safe zone, but still few dare to go down to street level,...
This isn't a review because I can't put into words how disappointed I am. When I was offered this by the publisher I jumped at the chance because it sounded so great. I even put my aversion to Edelweiss to one side so I could download it. For around 45% I was loving it. It was shaping up to be...
As horrific as the circumstances are for these characters there is still a sense of morbid fascination as events unfold that causes one to keep reading to see who survives in the end.The tale comes full circle in a way that ties together all the different elements of magic, myth and legend in one fi...
