Review:This is the complete set of Eva Pohler's Gatekeeper's saga. I have read each one in the series, and I have loved them all. It's a great new twist on Greek gods in a modern day world. We see the story begin with Therese as a teenager. She's mourning the loss of her parents in a car accident in which they are all involved in. Amid the accident, she has an in between life and death moment in which she meets Thanatos, the god of death. Than is immediately intrigued with her because no one has ever r... Read more

Review:I loved this book so much. The characters are very well developed. I really enjoyed reading a book with strong female characters. I didn't find the plot predictable and loved not knowing what would happen next. There were a few times I thought "Why did she/he do that?" which doesn't happen to me very often. The gods showing up in this book made it magical in a very good way. I loved that they prayed to something that was there, in the book. You, as the reader, see what they see when the gods res...

Review:No one has heard of these books, but everyone should have. I will definitely read these to my kids. The way that different books focus on different characters mix things up, the Arthurian-legend-in-present-day is fun, and every kid loves the story of a child with great responsibility (Will Turner).

Review:There was a great quote by China Mieville when Kraken came out. It went something like
"Part of the appeal of the fantastic is taking ridiculous ideas very seriously and pretending they're not absurd."
and Bitter Seeds by Ian Tregillis is one of those which is based on the completely absurd notion about what would happen if Germany had X Men and Britain had Warlocks during the World War.

It is an absurd notion brought to life because Ian Tregillis treats it very seriously and flesh... Read more

Review:I have read the 1st parts of Shearwater: A Mermaid Romance, The Scarlet Thread and Orpheum: A Dark Fantasy Romance. And have loved them all. I have the 1st Part of Prescient: A Time Travel Dystopia but haven't read it yet. And I just want to say I Love D. S. Murphy!!! His book are addictive. I am at the point now that I trust him enough that I would buy a book of his simply because he wrote it. I really have nothing negative to say. But I do have a request or plea to ask. Please do not continue... Read more

Review:If you loved the "Arabian Nights" and if you love "quest" stories, you'll enjoy Salman Rushdie's book. It takes the reader on a fantastic journey to save the purity of the old stories we love and the new ones we make. It's pure fantasy. Or maybe not. Read more

Review:You love 20th-century literature (fiction) and came to this this book astonished by the Booker prizes (yes, plural!) it won and already bracing for an amazing reading experience?

Well, my advice is: think twice before buying it. This may be the most overrated book I have come across in my whole life. You can't relate to any character (no likeable chars at all); you can't tell whether this is history (the author famously deleted some words for political reasons, as he himself notes in the ...

Review:I got an eGalley of this book through NetGalley to review. This book was an interesting read that followed up the events that took place in the Rolling in the Deep novella. It got a bit long at times but overall I enjoyed it.

This is definitely one of those slow-boiling horror types of novels with a heavy paranormal bent to it. The whole time you know things are going to go very poorly for the characters on the next mission. I liked the suspense but was a bit disappointed that the sto... Read more

Review:McCaffrey's work is consistently excellent, and this novel is no exception. She manages to build suspense, then carry her reader through to an ending both satisfying and unexpected in its twists and turns. I'm reading the whole series this winter. I heartily recommend it! Read more
