Review: Saint Death’s Herald (Saint Death #2) by C.S.E Cooney

April 21, 2025 by Paige Leave a Comment

Saint Death's Herald by C.S.E Cooney

Synopsis: Lanie Stones is the necromancer that Death has been praying for. Heartbroken, exiled from her homeland as a traitor, Lanie Stones would rather take refuge in good books and delicate pastries than hunt a deathless abomination, but that is the duty she has chosen. The abomination in question happens to be her own great-grandfather, […]

Review: Sinophagia by Xueting C. Ni

November 3, 2024 by Paige Leave a Comment

Sinophagia by Xueting C. Ni

This is an utterly incredible collection of Chinese Horror. Xueting has done a truly incredible job of curating and translating collection, it’s got a stunning variety of stories, in length, content and horror type. It has ghost stories, it has locked-room horror, it has horror with a twist at the end and every single one deserves it’s place in Sinophagia.

Review: The Unkillable Princess (The Kystrom Chronicles #2) by Taran Hunt

October 13, 2024 by Eleni A.E. Leave a Comment

In between breakneck action worthy of the Mission Impossible franchise, reckless yet efficient spaceship piloting, and badass hand-to-hand combat, Hunt delivers another truly excellent romp, across planets and moons this time, that is in no way lacking in tons of heart and hilarity. You just need this in your life.

Review: Vampires of El Norte by Isabel Cañas

October 2, 2024 by Eleni A.E. Leave a Comment

In short, Isabel Cañas’ Vampire of El Norte is everything you could possibly wish for in a Mexican gothic, with rich folklore, beautiful and atmospheric prose, complex characters, and a forbidden romance rooted in cultural and historical authenticity, to die for. Not to mention how incredibly it shows the “other side” of the Mexican-American war of the late 1840s, in ways you rarely see in mainstream media.

Review: Three Eight One by Aliya Whiteley

January 12, 2024 by Paige Leave a Comment

Three Eight One by Aliya Whiteley

Skyward Inn by Aliya Whiteley was my first big introduction to spec-fic and I’m so excited every time she releases a new book. Three Eight One is a fascinating mix of far-future and past (or maybe present, or recent past??). The bulk of the story is a coming-of-age heroes quest style tale following a girl named Fairly, and there’s also interwoven in, by the way of footnotes and a prologue, a far-future narrative where it seems that people’s consciousness’ are interwoven and you can choose to be ‘born’ into an organic body.
