Wonderful photo borrowed from Natalie @ the.bookish.designer If you’ve yet to see it, please check out my review for A Dagger in the Dark posted yesterday! I have been oscillating between migrating all of my trilogy reviews over to FanFI, or to just do a series review. To be honest, I can’t promise that I […]

Harry’s Top 10 Stephen King Novels
The master of American horror has many books available. Here are my top 10!
COVER REVEAL + EXCERPT: Strange & Sundry Magics (A Wayward Heroes Adventure) by Cal Black
Blurb When the witch Velta Quorrie finds the skeleton of the King’s Champion in her swamp, her plans of a quiet life studying magical plants are uprooted.

Review: The Aeronaut’s Windlass (The Cinder Spires #1) by Jim Butcher
I LOVED this book. I have to admit I was slightly afraid of it when I saw that it was 600+ pages but I shouldn’t have worried because they fly by. I flew through The Aeronaut’s Windlass and it kept me engaged and enthralled the entire time.
The whole premise of humanity living in giant Spires with monsters living on the ground of the world just hooked me. The tiny tidbits you get about the ground were fascinating and I’m really hoping that at some point we get to visit the ground (sorry characters but I want to know what’s there).
COVER REVEAL: Reckoner (Darkblade #8) by Andy Peloquin
Blurb The Hunter’s enemies will soon learn a bloody truth: No foe is more dangerous than a cornered assassin.Trapped in a city under siege, where even high walls, strong gates, and brave hearts will inevitably fail against overwhelming odds.

Review: Time’s Ellipse by Frasier Armitage

Review: Crucible of Chaos (Court of Shadows: Prelude) by Sebastien De Castell
Other than a Masterclass in creative and devastating insults, Crucible of Chaos is the prelude to De Castell’s upcoming series, A Court of Shadows, set once again in the Greatcoats universe, and oh how I’d missed Tristia and its mottle mix of travelling magistrates. Truly dear reader, I can’t even begin to explain to you what the original tetralogy means to me so I won’t try it now. Suffice it to say that this standalone mystery thriller works as an excellent bridge between what came before and what is yet to entertain and possibly hurt us. I for one am dying to see what the author has planned, starting this March.
Review: Swan Song by Robert R McCammon
Synopsis: Swan is a nine-year-old Kansas girl following her struggling mother from one trailer park to the next when she receives visions of doom—something far wider than the narrow scope of her own beleaguered life.
