Moon Fever by Susan Sizemore My rating: 1 of 5 stars This was one of those “I finished the last thing I was reading and I’m bored, what’s already loaded on the iTouch?” reads. It was on there because the anthology includes Lori Handeland’s “Cobwebs Over the Moon” (Nightcreatures, #10) and I read all of that […]
Review: and Falling, Fly by Skyler White
and Falling, Fly by Skyler White My rating: 5 of 5 stars Sam has been after me to read this book for weeks, so as soon as I finished All Clear, I started it. This book is different from anything else I’ve read in years. I hesitate to say it’s more literary than most fantasy, because […]
Review: Blood Oath by Christopher Farnsworth

It seems as if Adrian Phoenix’s first novel is a hit. It […]
Review: Prom Nights From Hell
So, um, I tried to read this. I really did. I don’t know if it’s “paranormal romance overload” or the fact that I’d just finished reading material from two incredibly good writers (Sarah Monette and Elizabeth Bear), but I had no patience for the fluff. Overall, I gave the book a 2/10. i did get […]
Review: New Amsterdam
I’m all infatuated with yet another author, my friends, so I must warn you that you’ll be reading much more about Elizabeth Bear here in coming weeks. New Amsterdam is an anthology of connected stories twined around two main characters. “The Great Detective” is vampire Sebastien de Ulloa. Lady Abigail Irene Garrett is a forensic sorcerer, […]
