Review: Burn Town by Jennifer McMahon
Jennifer McMahon is one of my “go to” authors. Each time she publishes a new book, it’s a given that I’m going to read it as soon as I can get my hands on it. This most recent title is … Continue reading
Review: Waking Gods by Sylvain Neuvel
Why yes, that is a very general summary of this book. It was done intentionally, for there is SO MUCH learned and revealed in this second book. I do recommend reading the first title, Sleeping Gods, first, however. Not only … Continue reading
Review: Say Nothing by Brad Parks
I’ve been a fan of Brad Parks’ writing for some time now. I devoured his Carter Ross series and was quite intrigued to start reading this one. Parks himself said it is quite different, a departure from his previous series. … Continue reading

What an incredibly twisty read! Told from the point of view of Leon himself, the reader is forced to come to terms with an incredibly unreliable narrator. Just as one thinks the path they are following is the accurate (and … Continue reading

Review: Behind Her Eyes by Sarah Pinborough
Never before have I uttered so man “WTF’s” while reading. First, let me start by saying I’ve been a fan of Pinborough’s for over a decade. My first introduction to her work was via her horror. She excels at writing the … Continue reading
