Review: “Keeper of Light and Dust” by Natasha Mostert

Review: “Keeper of Light and Dust” by Natasha Mostert

Web Genii | July 25, 2010June 8, 2024

Set in modern day London, Keeper of Light and Dust is attempting to elevate the vampire romance into a more modern “literary” form. (This would be the form I always find vaguely depressing – you can see why the book is not gelling for me.) Our young heroine, a tattoo artist is a Keeper. Keepers are mystic guardians and warriors and… well, frankly I lost interest at that point.

Review: “Discount Armageddon” by Seanan McGuire

Review: “Discount Armageddon” by Seanan McGuire

Laith Preston | April 20, 2012June 5, 2024 | 1 Comment

The world is a fairly orderly place, talking mice, gorgons, Chupacabra… these are things of fairy tales, mythology and supermarket tabloids. Not so in Seanan McGuire’s new novel Discount Armageddon, the first book in her new “InCryptid” series.

Review: “Whitechapel Gods” by S. M. Peters

Review: “Whitechapel Gods” by S. M. Peters

Lora Friedanthal | June 7, 2008June 1, 2024 | 2 Comments

Up until now, steampunk has been, for me, an aesthetic. It makes the great heroes of my childhood even cooler. And it makes for computers that are beyond sexy. Something in the synthesis of technology and analog mechanisms strikes just the right chord with me. It’s like the most elegant Rube Goldberg imaginable, with style. And yet, I had never read anything from the genre that inspires these creative works of fabrication fancy.

Until now.

Review: “Haunted” by Kelley Armstrong

Review: “Haunted” by Kelley Armstrong

Joe Murphy | April 16, 2005June 3, 2024

When she was alive, you didn’t fuck with Eve Levine. A half-demon witch and master of the black arts, she didn’t exactly seek opportunities to dole out pain and death, they just presented themselves on a regular basis. An unfortunate consequence of the life she chose. But she never flinched from what she had to do. Yup, in life, Eve was the biggest badass around.

In death, not so much.

Review: “Sagramanda” by Alan Dean Foster

Review: “Sagramanda” by Alan Dean Foster

Brian Brown | December 25, 2006June 7, 2024

I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a techo thriller with near future sci-fi thrown in. It is a well written and enjoyable tale that is full of the flavor of India, its culture and people, from a forward looking perspective.

Review: “Blood Bound” by Patricia Briggs

Review: “Blood Bound” by Patricia Briggs

Jane Litte | January 31, 2007June 8, 2024

Patricia Briggs has the unique gift of being able to make the reader believe, for the space of 300 some pages, of her truths. That vampires, fae, werewolves, and magic makers live in tentative harmony with humankind. Her world is just like ours, only a bit more dangerous and a bit more sexy.

Guest Review: “Prisoners Under Glass” by R. Patrick

Guest Review: “Prisoners Under Glass” by R. Patrick

Library Dragon | July 30, 2006June 4, 2024

Young readers who love big, bold action, boisterous high jinks and bizarre images, all mixed up with a bunch of people prone to snappy dialog learning to rely on each other in life-and-death situations, will get a kick out of Prisoners Under Glass.

Review: “Omnitopia Dawn” by Diane Duane

Review: “Omnitopia Dawn” by Diane Duane

Tia Bowman | January 18, 2011June 11, 2024

This was a refreshing read. A.I. has been through the ringer when it comes to scenarios, but Diane Duane brought something new to the table. It’s fascinating to see such an expansive game from multiple points of view – the players, the creators, etc.
