An Interview with M.L. Brennan, Author of Generation V

Posted on August 13, 2013 3 Comments

These days, books find their way onto my to-read list for any number of different reasons, but I like to think that coming upon Generation V was somewhat of a serendipitous fortune. M.L. Brennan was a name I first came across when I followed a few random links in my Twitter feed and came upon […]

Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman This is the third Neil Gaiman book I’ve read and I’ve noticed a trend: An average, unmemorable male protagonist with slightly/over-controlling girlfriend/recently turned fiancé crosses paths with an unusual human that turns out to be magical and leads the protagonist into a whole new world of magic that has always been […]

Review Bites: DNF

Posted on July 20, 2013 Leave a Comment

I make a point of finishing every book I pick up. There have been some that I haven’t made it through in the past, but since founding a book club and working on this site, I’ve felt compelled to make sure I get through every book, even if it sometimes means skimming pages of the […]

Book Review: Mockingbird by Chuck Wendig

Posted on July 17, 2013 3 Comments

Mockingbird by Chuck Wendig I can’t get enough of Miriam Black. I just can’t. I thought the initial delight of discovering this twisted and refreshingly candid series would have worn off a bit by now, but it hasn’t. If anything, I think I’m finally starting to sense of who Miriam is and the direction in […]

The Monsters in Your Neighborhood byJesse Petersen Expected Date of Publication: July 29, 2013 If you ever find yourself with some time on a lazy afternoon, in the mood for a book that’s light, funny and just a little silly, I highly recommend the Monstrosity series by Jesse Petersen. They’re super quick reads and are […]

Audiobook Review: Turn Coat by Jim Butcher

Posted on June 28, 2013 Leave a Comment

Turn Coat by Jim Butcher I seem to have developed a habit of reading the first book in a series then skipping a whole bunch to read from the series again. It worked well for me with Star Wars: A New Jedi Order and I can’t complain about my recent run with The Dresden Files. […]

Werewolves on SPACE

Laura Vandervoort as Elena Michaesl Bitten was my first real introduction to urban fantasy and supernatural books. I fell in love with Kelley Armstrong‘s Women of the Otherworld series. Part of my love comes from national pride: both Armstrong and her main character Elena Michaels are Canadian and it’s always nice to find the familiar […]

Book Review: Whispers Under Ground by Ben Aaronovitch

Posted on May 17, 2013 12 Comments

Whispers Under Ground by Ben Aaronovitch Wow, never have I snapped up and read all the currently available books in a series so quickly. With my enthusiasm waning for Harry Dresden in light of the new direction the Dresden Files series has taken in the last few books, someone else has recently dethroned him as […]
