Thrilling books and gripping stories, all in one place.
My first Koontz book - and what a book it is! As with when I first started reading Stephen King a few years ago, I felt like I'd heard a lot about Koontz even though I knew nothing about him. I knew he was known for churning out books by the dozens, I knew they... Continue Reading →
It's been a weird few weeks. Ever since I moved back home from the Arctic at the start of the month, days have been blending together. I feel like I've had far too much to do and nothing at all at the same time. Like everything has changed, yet it's all the same. I've tried... Continue Reading →
If you're looking for your new favorite haunted house story, look no further - this is the one!
Book 3 of 4 - and things are shaping up to be awesome! Honestly, book 1 didn't have me hoping for much, at least not to begin with. Like I wrote in my review, it was slow, confusing and there were far too many names. When I read this third book, I couldn't finish it... Continue Reading →
Since I'm on a King binge that I just can't seem to quit, I carried on with The Dead Zone, on someone's recommendation. I'd never heard of this book before, at all, and was surprised to find out that it's one of his earlier works. Again, going in blind makes King's books not feel so... Continue Reading →
A rogue timefather. An immortal captain. A mythical earthmother. A dying continent. These are just some of the things you'll experience in The Tree That Grew Through Iron, as Nicholai Addihein joins Captain Kazuaki Hidataka and his crew in a quest to save the world, and hopefully, his love. Austin has created a magnificent fantasy... Continue Reading →
The 3rd (or 5th) book in the series, and definitely the best one so far, Baptism of Fire ramps up absolutely everything and it seems to be that we're on a much steadier course now than before. With the first two books (excluding the short stories) there's a lot of setting up plot lines, understanding... Continue Reading →
Yet again, I've been reading a collection of short stories, and this was something very special. First of all, I don't really know how to describe this, or the stories. If I was to put a genre on it, I don't know, maybe I'd call them dramas. Family dramas, or romantic dramas. That's at least... Continue Reading →
I finally got around to reading a Brandon Sanderson book. Took me a while, I've been eyeing the Mistborn series for ages, but I think I'll get it on audiobook, and I had this lying around since Christmas. I don't remember how I heard about Sanderson, but his name floats around in writing circles and... Continue Reading →
Great captivating writing. One of the better short story collections and some of the best horror I've read in ages. Welch's writing is gorgeous and these stories are fantastic. Welch has a way of writing these beautiful, delicate passages, and then suddenly hitting us with the cold, hard truth. It's refreshing. I loved that there's... Continue Reading →
