Legacy of Brick & Bone Tainted Dominion #2 by Krystle Matar I received a free pre-release copy of this book with the understanding that an honest review at some point would be most welcome but in no way required. Anyone who read and enjoyed Legacy of the Brightwash,…

Norylska Groans by Michael R. Fletcher and Clayton W. Snyder This book is cold, mean, and brutal. It features hard, cruel characters, made stronger and tougher by the uncaring, cynical world they live in. Or perhaps it features ordinary people just trying to get by?…

Book Review: Poison and Prey by Ashley Beasley The Eve Williams series is not your ordinary Urban Fantasy series. It's a little bit darker, its characters a little more broken and twisted, and the romance aspect moves at a near-glacial pace. It's also written in…

Legacy of the Brightwash by Krystle Matar Trudie previously reviewed Legacy of the Brightwash here. A lot of the books I read are such that they can be described with words like charming, wholesome, or delightful. As such, it's with utmost confidence that I'm able…

Book Review: City of Reckoning Nerasia Saga, book 1 by Brianna da Silva Every now and then, I come across the question of how long a book should be, often asked by an author working on, or about to publish their first book. The “correct”…

Pulling Teeth and Other Stories by Jessa Forest I recently interviewed Jessa Forest about her writing (here), and I ended up feeling like her stories would be right up my alley. Character driven, grimdark urban fantasy with werewolves. Yep. Perhaps not always, and perhaps not…
