Review: The Interrogation of Ashala Wolf

The last book I read for 2014 technically came out in 2012, but it wasn’t published in the United States until last year. Ambelin Kwaymullina’s first novel has a great mix of science-fiction and fantasy, and I loved the premise of a world coming back after mankind almost destroyed it. Unfortunately the story ends up

Not your usual Christmas stories

A very Merry Christmas to everyone who celebrates it from Kathryn and Elizabeth! And to everybody who doesn’t celebrate it, happy book-reading! By this point most people have already read A Christmas Carol, or The Night Before Christmas, or any of a handful of great, classic Christmas stories. So we thought we’d list a few

Review: The Supernatural Enhancements

I’m still trying to read a few more 2014 books before the end of the year, and next up is Edgar Cantero’s The Supernatural Enhancements. In short, I loved it, even though I had one good reason not to. It’s part mystery, part puzzle, part supernatural (of course) thriller, part horror, and humor. The whole

Review: Koko Takes a Holiday

I’ve been trying to get a few more 2014 books under my belt before New Year’s, and next on the list is Kierran Shea’s first novel, “Koko Takes a Holiday.” If you’re looking for a family friendly, feel-good, classy novel…you’d better go look somewhere else. But if you’re looking for a fun, violent, blood-and-gore sci-fi
