Review: “The Summoner” by Gail Z. Martin

Review: “The Summoner” by Gail Z. Martin

Debbie Walker | September 7, 2007June 1, 2024

Although a bit clunky at times, this book is fairly well written. Even though it is over 600 pages, this book feels more like an appetizer than a stand-alone book within a series. I am interested enough in the adventure to read the next installments when they become available, but I wish I had the whole series at once.

Review: “The Mousehunter” by Alex Milway

Review: “The Mousehunter” by Alex Milway

Darcy Low | September 5, 2010June 1, 2024 | 1 Comment

When you are out at a bookstore, what first catches your eye? The covers, right? Well that is how it is with me at least. A great cover can pull me in, or push me away from a book. And they always say, don’t judge a book by it’s cover.

That is so true I am finding out more and more, and is really true when it comes to this book. When I first saw the cover I said, “Hmmm, this might be a cute kid’s book.” I was right, but also very, very wrong. Turns out, it is a lot more here than what I thought there would be. But I am getting ahead of myself.

Review: “Dust” by Joan Frances Turner

Review: “Dust” by Joan Frances Turner

Tia Bowman | November 28, 2010June 8, 2024

In Dust we get to experience zombie matters from the eyes of the source, as it were, and what a strange experience it is. The undead are not romanticized in this novel, so you might not want to eat before or during your reading session. Nausea may ensue.

Review: “Queen of Dragons” by Shana Abé

Review: “Queen of Dragons” by Shana Abé

Debbie Walker | February 9, 2008June 1, 2024

If you want to read a book about dragons that can change into a human form or disappear into smoke, read this book. If you want to read a romance where the woman and man are both strong leading characters, read this book. I loved this book and can’t wait to find out what happens next. And I’ll have to go back and find The Smoke Thief and The Dream Thief, the previous books in this series.

Review: “Helen and Troy’s Epic Road Quest” by A. Lee Martinez

Review: “Helen and Troy’s Epic Road Quest” by A. Lee Martinez

Michael Hickerson | November 14, 2013June 14, 2024

Helen and Troy are just your ordinary, average young Americans who work together at minimum wage jobs in a fast food restaurant.

Well, except for the small detail that Helen is a minotaur and the two have been given an epic quest by a hamburger god.

Guest Review: “Dead Reckoning” by Charlaine Harris

Guest Review: “Dead Reckoning” by Charlaine Harris

Summer Brooks | July 22, 2011June 7, 2024

I get a bit exhausted for Sookie. There are always someone or some things “out to get her.” Throughout Book 11, there are constant threats from different sources, and Sookie is on high alert most of the novel. Sookie still struggles with being a good person, for her world is continually violent and evil visits her seemingly day in and day out. In Dead Reckoning, you don’t see her grow much as a character, as she doesn’t have time to do much of anything except try to stay alive.

Review: “Thomas the Rhymer” by Ellen Kushner

Review: “Thomas the Rhymer” by Ellen Kushner

Joe Murphy | December 5, 2004May 30, 2024

Apparently, the big screen is not the only medium in which remakes are popular. There are many authors that have written successful versions of children’s stories and fairy tales. Ellen Kushner brings us Thomas the Rhymer, winner of the World Fantasy Award.

Review: “‘Salem’s Lot: Illustrated Edition” by Stephen King

Review: “‘Salem’s Lot: Illustrated Edition” by Stephen King

David Moldawer | December 11, 2005June 25, 2024

To commemorate the 30th anniversary of the publication of Stephen King’s classic horror novel ‘Salem’s Lot, Doubleday is publishing a new edition of the book in hardcover that includes black-and-white illustrations, a new introduction, fifty pages of additional material deleted from the original manuscript, and two short stories related to events in the novel.
