And so I am back with yet another post-apocalyptic novel! I don’t know what is my fascination with this theme, but I don’t think I’m the only one since there are a TON of books being released about this same topic. I have been waiting a long time to read this one. When I first found out about it, it…
Dystopian
All That Remains by Al Barrera
YES! POST-APOCALYPTIC WORLD WITH ZOMBIES/CREATURES!!!!!! It has been SO long since I’ve read anything about zombies and I guess you can tell by now that I have really been missing it. Receiving this novel from NetGalley at this time is almost like getting a Christmas present so I was very eager to read this story. In the aftermath of a…
The Wolf Road by Beth Lewis
I’ve been very excited to read this novel. Ever since I read Wake of Vultures and Conspiracy of Ravens, I’ve become more interested in the idea of reading novels with an American West style. This novel presented me with the opportunity to explore this as well as just having a super interesting premise. Elka was rescued by a solitary hunter when she…
Vanishing Point by Michaela Roessner
I received this novel as an advanced copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. After having received this story, I discovered that this novel was actually published in 1994. It has gotten a great deal of attention in the past for its unique portrayal of a post-apocalyptic setting. Perhaps the version that I have received is a more…
The Hatching by Ezekiel Boone – The Hatching #1
I’m not trying to boast or anything, but bugs don’t scare me. I’ve been stung by a wasp before, and I am the person delegated to get rid of all bugs that show up in my home. Spiders don’t scare me, flies are just a nuisance, and I don’t mind slapping away mosquitos and chasing away moths. After reading this…
The Suicide Shop by Jean Teulé
I received this novel as an advanced copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I love reading foreign books. The author’s cultural background and viewpoint always intersperses with the story to give it a unique twist and give me a little insight on their lifestyle, which is just as enjoyable to discover as the actual storyplot itself. I…
The Book of the Unnamed Midwife by Meg Elison – Road to Nowhere #1
I received this novel as an advanced copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I love apocalyptic novels. I even have a separate category for them here on this website, instead of classifying them under science fiction. However, the more I read in this genre, the more I find that all of the books end up being pretty…
All The Birds in the Sky by Charlie Jane Anders
I’m back to one of my personal favorite genres of all time – fantasy – and let me just say that ever since I read the premise of this novel, I have been anxious to get my hands on a copy of this book. When I finally got it, I literally dove right in and did not stop for anyone…
Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel
I’ve actually been really looking forward to reading this novel. The plot and the cover just seemed so intriguing, and I’m a sucker for a good dystopian novel. This is a novel that I’m really excited to write a review for because it is definitely one of my favorites! It took just one day for the Georgian Flu to become…
Red Rising by Pierce Brown – Red Rising #1
I will admit that I can be a book snob at times. When I first saw this book, I really liked the way it looked and its general premise seemed interesting. But as soon as I read a couple pages and realized it took place in space, I dropped it and decided not to pursue it. That was a mistake,…
