The Guillotine by Delilah S. Dawson
This book was INSANE. I saw this somewhere on my Facebook feed… someone posted they liked it, didn’t want to give any spoilers, and so I just put it on my TBR list and didn’t read the blurb. I was looking for something quick and easy Sunday morning, and this was available from the library, so in to the Kindle it went. I read this book in maybe two hours. Holy shit, is all I have to say. The long and short of the story […]
Children of the Night (When Monsters Wake #1) by Victoria Setian and Savanna Ganucheau
I went into reading Children of the Night (When Monsters Wake #1) by Victoria Setian and Savanna Ganucheau (illustrator) with little to no knowledge of the content. I saw it faced out at the library, knew I had it on my radar and said, why not check it out? I picked it up a few nights before it was due back to start reading, thinking that it was a graphic novel, how hard could it be? Well, it was not difficult, but it was not […]
Fabulous Bodies by Chuck Tingle
Thanks to NetGalley and Macmillan Audio for the ARC. It hasn’t affected the contents of my review. If I had to rank all of Chuck Tingle’s novels, the order would be for me, from best to least best*: Bury Your Gays, Lucky Day, Camp Damascus, then Fabulous Bodies. (I have not read his novella Straight as of yet.) And all of those books are 4, 4.5, or 5 stars. So he’s really just killing it. I’m only giving this one four stars because I know he can go deeper, […]
Strange Houses by Uketsu
Strange Houses was the first book I read this year, back in January, and it has taken me entirely too long to just sit down and jot down my thoughts about it. Part of it is because I was very disappointed with how promising the premise was and how it fully deflated by the time I got to the end, so much so that now six months later, I’m honestly struggling to remember how it ended. The other reason why it took so long is […]
Dead Weight by Hildur Knútsdóttir, translated by Mary Robinette Kowal
Thanks to NetGalley and Macmillan Audio for the ARC. It hasn’t affected the contents of my review. I was sitting here thinking about how I should rate this, and I just really, really enjoyed myself, so I’m rounding this 4.5 star book up to five. Perhaps it is because there are two cats in here and one of them is a black one, and perhaps it is because of the ending, but regardless, I’m doing it, and I have no regrets. I liked the first […]
The Helm of Midnight by Marina J. Lostetter
After the dangerous relic of a serial killer is stolen in a daring heist, Krona and her fellow Regulators must uncover the greater conspiracy at play and recover the mask to keep the murders starting up again from beyond the grave. Not only is this book is an intriguing mix of fantasy, suspense thriller, and horror, but it is also stuffed chock-ful of unique world-building and follows three separate POVs, each with their own storyline. It definitely is a lot, but the author does a […]
