Review: The Blood of Outcasts (The Bane Sword Saga #1) by D.A. Smith

May 16, 2022 by Justin Leave a Comment

Masako is a flawed, angry, and desperate person in a dogged pursuit of redemption for her fallen clan. The depths to which she’ll sink to achieve her goal and the questionable methods she uses to get there ultimately make her a compelling, if unlikable character. With twists and turns as sharp as Masako’s katana and a blistering pace that will leave you breathless, The Blood of Outcasts is a must-read for fans of Japanese-inspired fantasy. The tale of the Dattori Clans’ downfall and Masako’s rage-filled quest to restore her Master’s honor will leave its mark on your soul, as it has mine.

Book Tour: Hag of the Hills by J.T.T. Ryder

May 6, 2022 by Victoria Gross Leave a Comment

Let the god of wordsmithing drape me with his cloak and light our night with his inspiration. I will tell you, my dearest Luceo, the tale of how I came to sit next to you at this fire, far from our homeland, after the so-called queen Slighan and her Hillmen tore it asunder. May you always recount my words at anyone’s beckoning. You are a budding bard, and your skill will wilt if your attention wanes.

That Good Mischief is author Lyra Wolf’s latest release and book 3 in The Nine World’s Rising series. I previously read and reviewed the first 2 books in the series and found them to be a joy to read. If you are into stories about Loki, Odin, and Norse mythology, these books are must reads.

Review: Wild and Wicked Things by Francesca May

March 29, 2022 by Cassidee Lanstra Leave a Comment

The story is dark, extravagant, and feels as if there is danger lurking around every corner—which to be fair, there is. The writing feels lush and intoxicating, luring you into this life of parties, prohibited magical drinks, and dark magic.
