Review: The Hollow Places by T. Kingfisher
I know each time I read a novel by T. Kingfisher (Ursula Vernon) that I’m in for a treat. This is no exception. Inspired by a novella by Algernon Blackwood called, The Willows, Kingfisher introduces her reader to a terror like none … Continue reading
Review: Middlegame by Seanan McGuire
Strange premise, yes. Honestly, I don’t think I’ve read anything like this, and that is what makes this book so tremendous. McGuire consistently takes her readers on whirlwind ride in her books, forcing them to suspend disbelief and put trust … Continue reading
Review: Recursion by Blake Crouch
My summary just touches the surface of the enormity Crouch has crafted in this truly complex techno-thriller. Any in-depth exploration of what transpires is certain to spoil the reading experience, one that will quite literally twist and distort anything and … Continue reading
Review: Skitter by Ezekiel Boone

Ever since I heard about Crouch writing another science fiction novel, my interest was piqued. I’m a longtime fan of his writing, long before the The Pines made its debut as Wayward Pines on television. Crouch is an incredibly talented writer, capable of creating … Continue reading
Review: Sleeping Giants by Sylvain Neuvel
Giant alien girl robot? I’m sold. From the very beginning, I was instantly captivating by this title’s premise. Of course, I’m also on this “end of the world, doomsday” reading kick, so that certainly helped as well. Told in alternating … Continue reading
Audiobook Review: Trust No One: X-Files, Book 1
X-Files fans of all ages shouted with glee when we learned the show was making a television comeback. Though the series did satiate my hunger, I knew the episodes were limited so I needed another quick fix. When I heard … Continue reading
Review: Strange Girl by Christopher Pike
When I saw Christopher Pike was releasing a novel, I squealed with joy. I have fond memories of reading his books as a teen. The premise of this title intrigued me, not quite sure where it would take me. Putting … Continue reading
