As soon as I read the premise for this novel, I knew I had to give it a go. This story was literally marketed as “perfect for a fan of Margaret Atwood” … and I am definitely a fan of Atwood’s work. Another thing I found out about this author and this book that made me interested in reading it…
Science Fiction
Tarry This Night by Kristyn Dunnion
I’m always fascinated by cults and I always grab any book that deals with this subject matter so that it might help me understand the mentality behind cults better. What could possess people to give everything up and believe in one person who claims they know the future? What could cause people to wholeheartedly give in to a completely different…
A Matter of Oaths by Helen S. Wright
I received this novel as an advance copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I thought this would be an interesting read for me since I’ve never read a space opera. I’m always trying to give new genres a chance, and have enjoyed the opportunities I have received thus far. I thought I would try my luck here.…
The Final Book: Gods by SW Hammond
I received this novel as an advance copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. This book has been long overdue on my TBR list; I mean, it was published in June and I just got to it now. However, I was really excited to read this novel because of its connections to mythology. I love mythology and I’m…
Ready Player One by Ernest Cline
I’ll be the first to admit that this book is completely out of my comfort zone. I have never read a book about virtual reality. In fact, I’ve never even played a video game. It’s not like I have avoided these things on purpose. Growing up, my parents bought me a lot of books and dolls. But video games were…
Paradox Bound by Peter Clines
I’ve never read anything by this author, but he is definitely well known for his other works. After hearing so many positive things about Clines’ other books, I decided to give this ARC a go. Here is my review: Eli lives in Sanders, a town where nothing ever changes, a town that seems to be stuck in the past. So…
Artemis by Andy Weir
I received this novel as an advance copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Andy Weir’s novel, The Martian, did so well that it was adapted to a movie. However, I neither read the book nor watched the movie. Why? Well, its not really my type of book. It’s kind of similar to my aversion to books on animals; it’s…
The Gone World by Tom Sweterlitsch
Thank you to Penguin Random House and the First to Read program for this ARC in exchange for my honest review. I’ve been looking forward to this book for a long time because its premise is just the kind of thing I love. Here is my review: Shannon Moss is part of a clandestine division within the Naval Criminal Investigative…
Borne by Jeff VanderMeer
I will be honest here: I chose to read the novel because of its cover. It looked so interesting and beautiful and I just had to give it a shot. Now, I know I didn’t like Annihilation by this same author… but when has that ever stopped me from giving a book a shot? So here is my review: In a…
The Empress by S. J. Kincaid – Diabolic #2
I received this novel as an advanced copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I remember when I read The Diabolic that I didn’t enjoy it and wasn’t planning on reading the next installment in the series. Well guess who received an ARC for the sequel??? That’s right, it was me. In order to ensure I was giving this…
