Review: My Name Isn’t Paul, by Drew Huff
My Name Isn’t Paul is a weird little novella that gets under your skin, sending you on a fast paced journey toward oblivion with the premise ‘what if an eldritch horror monster hated itself?’ The result is a quick journey into a hive mind of beings who only want to feel happiness and spread across… Read more: Review: My Name Isn’t Paul, by Drew Huff
Review: How to Defeat a Demon King in Ten Easy Steps, by Andrew Rowe
I’ve never read LitRPG and it feels like How to Defeat a Demon King in Ten Easy Steps is a worthy entrance into this somewhat strange genre. The book is a quick read at under 200 pages and it’s always fun with a tongue-in-cheek narrative style and a ‘hero’ who doesn’t follow the traditional mold.… Read more: Review: How to Defeat a Demon King in Ten Easy Steps, by Andrew Rowe
Review: Uncharmed, by Lucy Jane Wood
If you’re looking for witches, baking, and a fair helping of coven drama, Uncharmed is the book for you. At its center is Annie Wildwood, a ‘perfect’ witch who strives to please everyone with her baked goods, time, and talents. She thinks she’s happy until she sees another side of life and it blows her… Read more: Review: Uncharmed, by Lucy Jane Wood
Review: No Rest for the Wicked, by Rachel Louise Adams
No Rest for the Wicked is a twisting thriller winding through a small town with a history of trauma and an obsession with Halloween. The protagonist is forced to confront her past when she returns to a hometown she fled twenty years prior and her cloudy memories, mixed with an unfolding mystery, lend a lot… Read more: Review: No Rest for the Wicked, by Rachel Louise Adams
Review: The Faerie Morgana, by Louisa Morgan
The Faerie Morgana feels grand in its Arthurian retelling, winding slowly through the beginning, middle and end of Arthur’s Camelot. Setting the story from Morgana’s perspective makes it an especially interesting story, complete with magic, mystery and plenty of intrigue. This isn’t a blood-soaked story filled with the ravages of war, but a return to… Read more: Review: The Faerie Morgana, by Louisa Morgan
Review: Play Nice, by Rachel Harrison
Play Nice is a solid haunted house-meets-paranormal horror story, unraveling a decades long mystery through an old paperback and the haunted happenings of a house nobody wants to acknowledge. There are plenty of little scary moments that all add up to a freaky reading experience, and a solid final quarter of the book that leaves… Read more: Review: Play Nice, by Rachel Harrison
Review: They Fear Not Men in the Woods, by Gretchen McNeil
I can honestly say They Fear Not Men in the Woods is unlike anything I’ve read before. It’s billed as a horror novel, and it definitely becomes that by the end, but it’s more of an ode to nature and the beauty that can be found hidden within the forest. The protagonist’s knowledge of the… Read more: Review: They Fear Not Men in the Woods, by Gretchen McNeil
Review: The Undermining of Twyla and Frank, by Megan Bannen
I’m a huge fan of the Hart and Mercy series and The Undermining of Twyla and Frank was, in my opinion, the perfect second book. With new protagonists, new problems, and new world building, we get to see another side of everything that made the first book so great. Twyla is a different type of… Read more: Review: The Undermining of Twyla and Frank, by Megan Bannen
Review: It Had to Be Him, by Adib Khorram
It Had to Be Him is a fun romp through an old friendship turned new love interest with a well-drawn Italian backdrop. It’s a surprisingly quick path to love for the pair, but it works with their personalities and the old history they’d both lost track of. The book was part romance, part self discovery… Read more: Review: It Had to Be Him, by Adib Khorram
Review: If It Makes You Happy, by Julie Olivia
If It Makes You Happy is my perfect romance novel, mixing a will-they-won’t-they romance with small town life, baking, and four holidays. It’s a slow burn of a story, winding its way through the personal growth of its two main characters until the inevitable happy ending. At just over 500 pages, I wasn’t sure how… Read more: Review: If It Makes You Happy, by Julie Olivia
