Reviews of all three books in The Hell’s Library series by AJ Hackwith
The Prose Books set in post-apocalyptic settings usually have an ominous feeling about them. You will start to get that vibe from the very first line. The Handmaid’s Tale (THT) wasn’t different in that regard. Consider the following lines and you will see what I mean: “We slept in what had once been the gymnasium….
What I Liked The Alien Nature of Humans. Since the main character isn’t well… human, the intricacies of human interaction are lost on him. He cannot fathom why a kindly tinker would gift him with his spare cloak or why the other main character would save his hide. He also takes many phrases literally and…
I loved Liu’s Monstress series and wanted to try other books she has written. A very good decision! Here’s a breakdown of the stories in her new anthology, The Tangleroot Place. Sympathy for the Bones ★★★★ This one was a reread since I didn’t realize I’d already read as part of the anthology, An Apple…

Unsuited Leads & Impractical RelationshipTheo was decidedly feminine and not even the…
Discover why The Accused didn’t catch my fancy!
I have begun to like this series, I have, but the amount of inner monologuing all the characters do in it just puts me off! It makes me skim pages and then I feel guilty for doing so. They harp about the simplest of things ad nauseam. What’s more, my previous complaints remain as is—every…
I received this book courtesy of Jacqline Barnes, publicity manager at the Naval Institute Press and am so glad to have had the chance to read it! As the name indicates, this graphic novel is about different kinds of animals and the part their ilk has played in combat. We get to read about Jack…
Ghost Rider by C.E. Murphy I did NOT realize what I was getting into even after I saw the cover! Sure, the car looked like an Impala but I didn’t know it was the Impala. So, imagine my surprise when I read about two agents coming to meet Joanne Walker. After I got over the shock,…
