I Was a Teenage Slasher by Stephen Graham Jones

I Was a Teenage Slasher by Stephen Graham Jones

This was so boring that I maybe lost my mind a bit. I think that it was just repetitive to the point that it induced sleep. I started this at the beginning of August and I had to keep setting it aside because it was so freaking slow. I am very annoyed that I even bought this book and should have not gotten excited about a story told about being a teenage slasher. SGJ telling the story of what makes a slasher, and the “rules” […]

Rapport by Martha Wells

“Rapport” follows Perihelion/Peri/ART and its crew while they are attempting a mission on a station that is dealing with a hostile takeover. You get to meet the crew that ART was ready to kill to get back in “Network Effect.” Well, that was delightful. It’s a nice little interlude showing how much our ART (otherwise known as Peri) has changed since it met and established a friendship with Murderbot. I think that this is great to read after the events of “Network Effect” actually since […]

Please note that I received this book via NetGalley. This did not affect my rating or review. Trigger warning: You hear about rape and at least two scenes show someone who is a kid and a teen about to be raped. “The Red Knot” centers on an isolated town on an island in Alaska. The town has been through some devastating times and it appears they are back. A recent storm has caused some fisherman to be killed. And a local girl has gone missing. […]

Please note that I read this book via NetGalley. This did not affect my rating or review. “6:40 to Montreal” follows Agatha who had a run-away best-selling thriller (sometime in the past) but has been unable to write another hit. She’s dealing with a huge case of writer’s block and general apathy about her husband, son, and marriage. We don’t know why (it takes a while to get there) but Agatha is desperate to get away from her husband and leave for the 6:40 to […]

The Re-Write by Lizzie Damilola Blackburn

The Re-Write by Lizzie Damilola Blackburn

Please note that I received this book via NetGalley. This did not affect my rating or review. Trigger warning: Assault. “The Re-Write” follows Temi. Temi is heartbroken after her ex, Wale, broke-up with her to go on a reality dating show called “Love Villa.” The latest season is over and Wale was depicted as a villain and a player, but a huge favorite of the fans of the show. Temi though ends up feeling even more broken after her latest manuscript does not sell and […]

Network Effect by Martha Wells

Network Effect by Martha Wells

“Network Effect” follows Murderbot who goes along for a survey with Dr. Mensah’s oldest child Amena and several people from the Preservation Station. This includes Dr. Mensah’s brother-in-law Thiago, Ratthi and two others, Arada and Overse. When something attacks their ship, it ends up leaving Amena and Murderbot separated from everyone else. And Murderbot does what it does best. It identifies targets and kills them. Look I love this series and that’s all I can say. I was kicking up my feet with glee while […]
