Sometimes it is INCREDIBLY hard to begin a review for a book you loved by an author you have totally fangirled in real life. Do I tell you lovely readers about my first experience reading a Libba Bray book — about how I saw the corset cover in the library, immediately took it out and devoured A […]
The Unquiet Jeannine Garsee Book Review
August 9, 2012
It’s been a long time since I have been creeped the hell out by a book. Hats off to Jeannine Garsee for writing what I see as the YA version of a Stephen King book with The Unquiet. Y’all, that is a huge compliment coming from me. Also, while it is a little bit early to recommend Halloween […]

There’s humor, parody, swoons and warmth in Team Human, a collaboration between the two that has me wanting to search out the authors’ back […]
