Mindhealer by Lilith Saintcrow My review rating: 3 of 5 starsI’m actually reviewing all five of the Watcher books. They’re quite short—novella length, really—and very much interrelated (especially the first four). I read all of them in about a day…
Night Child by Jes Battis My review rating: 4 of 5 starsI really enjoyed this book, and hope Battis returns to this world. His prose is lyrical, engaging—a major departure from most of the urban fantasy genre. There were a…
In Legend Born by Laura Resnick My review rating: 3 of 5 starsWell-written high fantasy, but honestly, it just went on too long. So far, everybody has lost someone important. Anybody who loves anyone seems to be doomed. Betrayals are…

Wow. That was a good book. It was a little hard for me to get into at the beginning. This excerpt is from the first chapter, and if you don’t feel as–jangled?–as I did, perhaps it’s just me. But I…
