I think that the number one takeaway I received from 3:59 by Gretchen McNeil is that if I ever see my doppelgänger, I need to kill it dead before it kills me or double-crosses me. I think that is kind of a morbid, but pretty important life lesson. McNeil’s third book has cemented her place […]
Ashes | Ilsa J. Bick | Book Review
December 27, 2013
I have to say, it’s kind of cool hanging onto review copies that I just have not been able to get to, because when I finally pick them up to read them, my mind is cleared of all hype and you know, the copy still gets a review and if we’re lucky that convinces someone […]
Asylum | Madeleine Roux | Book Review
July 26, 2013

To say that The Resurrectionist: The Lost Works of Dr. Spencer Black by E.B. Hudspeth is out of my normal comfort zone would honestly be a little bit of an understatement. Yet when I received the email from Eric at Quirk Books about reviewing it I couldn’t help but be drawn in. There was something […]
