Ok…this one has done it for me – no more zombie books. I was never really a fan of the genre – rotting shamblers don’t do it for me the way that sexy vampires can. And this book ….oy… what was I thinking? I heard about it from the IO9 Book club – and I really respect IO9. Guess I didn’t read enough of the comments or perhaps did but disregarded them. OK – so this is a horror book. True horror. Not […]
Here we are, all thinking that it’s the Zombies we’re going to have to protect our brains from, but what if it’s really our computers?
This technological thriller is the kind of book that is written to terrify you into not wanting to so much as glance at your smart phone, lest it attack. AKA, the PERFECT kind of book to be reading on your Kindle late at night; AKA the book my 5th-grade-teaching, technophobe, grammarian grandmother would have agreed with 5000%. It’s a book that takes a serious look at the dependency of people on technology and one of the (oh so numerous ways) that can come back to […]
Avoid! Unless you’re really into math.
I just recently moved halfway across the country. As I was packing up books, I left out a small stack to take with me in the car, rather than put on the moving truck – I didn’t want to run out and be caught bookless on my trek, or before the moving truck got to me. I needn’t have worried. This book took foreeeever to read, and frankly wasn’t worth the slog. It’s way in the future, and mankind has taken to mining on other […]
An Alien Trilogy
This was a fun series if you like weird science fiction about alien species. In this series, earth is nearly destroyed by war. An alien race comes to rescue the human survivors – but also wants to mate with them to create a new species for their next generation. The first book, Dawn, is about the first group of humans who encounters these aliens and either join or resist them. The second book, Adulthood Rites, tells the story of one of the half-alien half-human “construct” […]
KayKay #CRB6 Review #11 Night Broken (A Mercy Thompson Novel) by Patricia Briggs
This book falls into my ”Procedurals” category (series in which each book is about the main character solving a problem). I’m not a fan of procedurals, but I am a huge fan of Mercy Thompson. She is a kick-a$$ female character who can take care of herself, but she doesn’t have to go at it alone. She is married to the Alpha of a werewolf pack and, although the pack has some issues, they pull together as a team. I give this book 4 stars. Here’s a […]
A strange novel filled with creeping visions and woozy memories – a purgatory on earth filled with nightmares.
The story is narrated in journal form by a biologist sent as part of a team to a contaminated coastal zone known as Area X, a mysterious location seemingly unbridled by the rules of the natural world. We are not introduced to the members of the party by name, each character is instead clinically referred to only by their role. Eleven previous teams were sent, all of which never returned, died shortly after or came back different. This theme of transmutation permeates through the whole […]
