    Book Review: The Caged Queen by Kristen Ciccarelli

    Book Review: The Caged Queen by Kristen Ciccarelli

    I was so thrilled to get my hands on a copy of The Caged Queen.  I liked Ciccarelli’s debut, The Last Namsara, but had some trouble with the romance. The sequel picks up the story where The Last Namsara left off, but follows a new character and a new love interest, so I was definitely… Continue reading

    Book Review: Tarnished City by Vic James

    Book Review: Tarnished City by Vic James

    I recently read Gilded Cage and while I wasn’t hugely impressed by the beginning, the story really picked up and it had an incredible ending. I had a feeling that the plot would continue to stay strong through the sequel, and I was right. Tarnished City is a thrilling, fast-paced read that will have you… Continue reading

    Book Review: Snapshot by Brandon Sanderson

    Book Review: Snapshot by Brandon Sanderson

    I love a Brandon Sanderson novella.  Whether his stories are long or short, he always manages to deliver a solid book with his classic style of ending. I have really only read fantasy from him and was very interested to see what his science fiction stories are like.v Continue reading

    Book Review: Godsgrave by Jay Kristoff

    Book Review: Godsgrave by Jay Kristoff

    There is always a danger in reading sequels to book you love.  Will they be as good? Will the dreaded Second Book Syndrome strike?  You never know until you give the book a try. For me, I figured there was no way Godsgrave could hold a candle to Nevernight, one of my favourite books of… Continue reading

About Me

Welcome to my corner of the bookish internet. I’m an American who has lived in the UK for almost 10 years, a publishing professional, and lifelong lover of books. I make it my mission to shout about books all over the internet and share my enthusiasm with other readers. I read a little bit of everything, but my main genres of choice are horror, fantasy, and science fiction.

I aim to start conversations about books and reading, link readers to new authors and titles they’ll love, provide insightful review the books I’m reading, and discover new writers and subgenres on this blog.
