Book Tour: Moroda (World of Linaria #1) by L.L. MacRae

June 30, 2022 by Tyra Leave a Comment

I am so happy to be a part of this tour. I, like many others, were first exposed to L.L. MacRae’s writing through her SPFBO 7’s semi-finalist The Iron Crown. I was immediately hooked and needed more so when I saw she was re-releasing Moroda, I knew I had to get in on this tour. […]

June 24, 2022 by Tyra Leave a Comment

A bit of background, Book of the Ice takes place in the same world as one of Mark Lawrences’ previous trilogies: Book of the Ancestor. I have read Book of the Ancestor as well as two other trilogies from Mark Lawrence: The Broken Empire and The Red Queen’s War.

Review: Legends and Lattes by Travis Baldree

June 6, 2022 by Tom Bookbeard 1 Comment

This book is, at the end of it all, like a written relaxing afternoon in a coffee shop. It’s charming and it’s fun. There’s a real time and a place for Legends and Lattes and I’m really glad I found it.

Review: Under Fortunate Stars by Ren Hutchings

May 25, 2022 by Tom Bookbeard Leave a Comment

SPFBO 7 Finalist Review: The Forever King (Scalussen Chronicles #1) by Ben Galley

April 4, 2022 by Tyra Leave a Comment

From Tyra Leann: The more self-published books and SPFBO finalists that I read, the more I continue to be blown away by the level of creativity that flourishes in this community. It’s amazing the level of talent and ingenuity that exists outside the confines of traditional publishing. I think all of the finalists this year are incredible in their own rights. Here are some of  our thoughts on The Forever King, the official synopsis of the book, and our final rating.

Review: The Blood of Outcasts (The Bane Sword Trilogy #1)

March 30, 2022 by Tom Bookbeard Leave a Comment

There’s a lot to love about TBoO, especially its acronym, but it’s an incredibly bloody, gritty, ronin romp that’s well worth checking out.

Review: Legacy of the Brightwash (Tainted Dominion #1) by Krystle Matar

March 22, 2022 by Tyra Leave a Comment

It’s very rare that I am at a genuine loss for words once I’ve turned the last pages of a book, but that was the exact situation I found myself in after finishing Krystle Matar’s Legacy of the Brightwash. This story is incredible in so many ways and I will try to capture and articulate it in this review, but I make no promises.

Review: Mickey7 by Edward Ashton

February 8, 2022 by Tom Bookbeard Leave a Comment

Review: Our Crooked Hearts by Melissa Albert

July 1, 2022 by Eleni A.E. Leave a Comment

Our Crooked Hearts is a double tale of mother and daughter coming into magic and its consequences, when they were each 16-17 years old. The mother’s half of the story is told in flashbacks so as to create parallelisms with her daughter’s present storyline, cleverly woven in such a way that what happened in the past is slowly revealed to optimally fit and complement what is happening in the present.

Review: Dusk (The Navigator #2) by Matthew Samuels

June 30, 2022 by Traveling Cloak (Jason) Leave a Comment

When author Matthew Samuels asked me if I wanted to read and review Dusk, I jumped at the opportunity. I had read and reviewed Parasites – the first book in The Navigators series – a couple of years ago, and I really enjoyed it. I thought the story was light and fun with interesting characters and settings. And, mostly, I liked Dusk for the exact same reasons.
