Review: The Immortality Thief (The Kystrom Chronicles #1) by Taran Hunt

October 10, 2022 by Eleni A.E. Leave a Comment

What we have here is an action adventure with high stakes that manage to become higher and higher as the story goes on. But more than anything this is one of those times that I can say it was character driven plot at its finest. I couldn’t put this book down!
Hunt weaves comedy, action, and horror/thriller elements to create a fast paced romp through an abandoned spaceship floating nearby a sun that is days away from going supernova. Talk about hitting the ground running. The very beginning is also your typical gathering a team for a heist with a bit of a Suicide Squad spin.

Review: The Dark Between the Trees by Fiona Barnett

October 10, 2022 by Eleni A.E. Leave a Comment

Hello again dear reader, it is October and spooky season is on 🎃. So how about a review for a surrealist gothic folk-thriller?? That sounds like a bit of a mouthful but broken down in other terms this is the kind of book that is 80% just supernatural vibes surrounding a very simple plot that will have you coming out of it more than a little confused but satisfied nonetheless.

Review: Saint Death’s Daughter by C.S.E Cooney

April 23, 2022 by Paige Leave a Comment

Where do I start with this incredible book? I was completely blown away by the premise, the writing, the characters, and I was very sad for it to be over. I’ve tried to explain the plot to multiple people, but there’s something about it that is just completely inexplicable and it just WORKS.

Review: Shackled Fates (The Hanged God Trilogy #2) by Thilde Kold Holdt

November 23, 2021 by Traveling Cloak (Jason) Leave a Comment

Shackled Fates is the follow-up to author Thilde Kold Holdt’s 2020 debut novel Northern Wrath (which I absolutely loved. You can read my review here.) Northern Wrath was one of my favorite books of 2020, and I honestly did not think there was any way I could like book 2 more. But something happened on my way to Niflheim…

Review: Shackled Fates (The Hanged God #2) by Thilde Kold Holdt

November 11, 2021 by Cassidee Lanstra Leave a Comment

The way The Fates were incorporated into the ending had goosebumps rising on my skin. That ending is definitely one of the most memorable ones I’ve read all year!
