What happens when a roller coaster author stops delivering that giddy can’t-believe-you’re-still-reading thrill? A DNF at page 123. I generally tear through a Charlaine Harris book in a few hours, reaching the end with the same unsettled feeling I get after inadvertently eating an entire pint of ice cream. Three weeks into Midnight Crossroad, I… Read more »

Free Fall by Carolyn Jewel
Pity the poor novella that is meant to hook readers into a series. It’s judged not only on it’s own merits, but also on it’s ability to reduce a complex world into an appetizing bite. One misstep on either side and the reader is ready to bury it. With that… Read more »

I wasn’t planning on reading another but Suleikha Snyder wouldn’t stop talking about ghost sex. (Wait, is it still self harming if I can blame someone else?) The Last Kiss Goodbye is so… Read more »
Light by ‘Nathan Burgoine
*A portion of this review appears on booklikes.com* Kieran Quinn is a bit telepathic, a little psychokinetic, and very gay—three things that have gotten him through life perfectly well so far—but when self-styled prophet Wyatt Jackson arrives during Pride Week, things take a violent turn. Kieran’s powers are somewhat underwhelming… Read more »
