Book Tour and Review: Bad Girls Drink Blood (Blood Fae #1) by S.L. Choi

July 2, 2022 by Victoria Gross Leave a Comment

Hey, everyone! Welcome to my stop in the Escapist Book Tours run of Bad Girls Drink Blood. Unfortunately, it did take me quite a bit to get my post out (bad time management on my part), but this is my official review. I hope you find it enlightening and I hope it encourages you to […]

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: One Foot in the Fade (The Fetch Phillips Archives #3) by Luke Arnold

April 26, 2022 by Adrian M. Gibson Leave a Comment

Detective and noir fiction is one of those sweet spots for me as a reader. Those times when I’m not reading fantasy or science fiction, I love basking in the mystery and dark explorations of books by Raymond Chandler, Dashiell Hammett and the like. There’s something raw about those works, their characters and their worlds, that pulls me in every time.

That’s why my discovery of the urban fantasy detective genre five or six years ago quite literally blew my mind (it’s a mash-up made in heaven!). I have since devoured countless great genre-blending gems, and Luke Arnold’s The Fetch Phillips Archives stands high among them. Now, three books in with One Foot in the Fade, I can safely say this is a series that has cemented itself as some of the best urban fantasy detective literature out there.

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.

This Charming Man (The Stranger Times #2) by C. K. McDonnell

February 17, 2022 by Dan Smith Leave a Comment

llip has suddenly developed pointy teeth; he’s getting really wary of daylight and to top it off … he can no longer see his reflection in the mirror. Well, what does he think has caused that? Perhaps its an STD, he surmises … and that, reader, is completely on brand for a book in The Stranger Times series, it had me roaring from the get-go and is utterly, utterly entertaining. It’s certainly for fans of Pratchett and other comedic novels, but really does cut its own shape in the genre with a heavy focus on fantasy, world-building and urban-central storytelling. I loved this and it continues to be a series I look forward to.

Review: Jade Legacy (Green Bone Saga #3) by Fonda Lee

February 16, 2022 by Jared Besse Leave a Comment

Endings are a tricky thing. A good ending can reframe an entire story or bring home the points that an author was making. A bad ending can sour the experience of a whole series or story. Thankfully, Jade Legacy, the third and final book in the Green Bone Saga, is a smashingly good ending.
