The first novel in the new Shattered Kingdoms series by Evie Manieri is a thrilling fantasy adventure. In Blood’s Pride, Manieri writes of epic culture clashes and a sibling rivalry for the ages. With distinct characteristics, the races of Blood’s Pride are fully realized and as opposite as fire and ice. […]
The theme of atompunk is mixed with a film noir feel in Adam Christopher’s The Age Atomic. The sequel to Empire State, the tale continues on in this new installment. Christopher’s take feels like an old film mixed with a comic book mentality, fusing adventure with atomic era sensibility The […]
I am a HUGE Richelle Mead fan and I’ve devoured all, and I do mean all, of her series (yes, her 2 adult series with Georgina and Eugenie, as well as her Vampire Academy series). All of these sadly came to an end and I’ve been eagerly awaiting her new […]
I really wasn’t sure what to expect with Thea Harrison’s newest adult novel, Rising Darkness. It is the first in a new series, and to be honest, I didn’t even know what genre (PNR, UF etc) Rising Darkness was classified. I just knew I really love her Elder Races series and her […]
Even though I missed the first novel in Anne Lyle’s Night’s Masque trilogy, The Alchemist of Souls, I still thoroughly enjoyed the second novel, The Merchant of Dreams. I do believe it is necessary to read this series in order to to understand the various nuances of The Merchant of Dreams, but […]

A Natural History of Dragons brings a world which is truly familiar yet beautifully different; letting […]
I have never read anything by Ekaterina Sedia and I am kicking myself for it. Her anthology Moscow but Dreaming is everything I look for in a book. Even though she only has a few pages to introduce the characters, setting and plot, I always felt connected. Every story just […]
Imagine an epic fantasy-adventure book meets reality TV (but replace cameramen and TVs with bards and ballads) and you end up with Ian Gibson’s Stuff of Legends. While it was a cute, funny story that I enjoyed while reading it; yet, there was nothing really amazing or memorable about Stuff […]
Magnus Flyte’s City of Dark Magic transported me to another place, if not another world. Prague, the featured city, sets a beautiful backdrop for a tale of Beethoven, espionage and nobility. Though the book tells of a fantasy unlike the one I imagined at first glance, I was soon transfixed […]
