Don’t open the door. Okay, this was awesome!! I love pretty much anything set in space, but space horror is about my favorite sub-genre (maybe tied with Japanese fantasy) and it’s SO hard to find good ones. (Or any in general – give me recs!!) This book gave me major Alien vibes, and Jack is totally the new Ripley. It even had an enigmatic android sidekick, Watson. I freaking loooved Watson! It/she was by far my favorite character. She reminded […]

Mini Audio Reviews: Borne, Bravely, Shades of Rust & Ruin

I hadn’t heard of this book before until I was searching for books narrated by Bahni Turpin (one of my fave narrators!) and this popped up. It sounded intriguing…and it was! It was a weird but fascinating read, unlike anything I’ve ever read before. I never read Annihilation, but I did see the movie, and it was also weird AF but also interesting and unusual. I wasn’t a huge fan of the writing style, but the premise is so unique […]

ARC Review: The Isles of the Gods by Amie Kaufman

I’m not gonna lie, this started slow. I was pretty bored in the beginning, and the multiple POVs – five of them – were making it worse. I outright hated Jude’s chapters, and didn’t care a whole lot about Laskia’s either. 5 points of view were overwhelming, and in the beginning felt a bit unnecessary. However, right around the 30% mark, things finally picked up. And from that point on, I was hooked! The action was almost non-stop from that point up until […]

Audiobook Review: Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes by Suzanne Collins

Disclaimer: I don’t usually swear in my reviews, but there’s some colorful language in this one. Welp, there’s a reason this took me three whole years to pick up. I just want to say: I despise when a series is “finished” and the author writes another book for it years down the road. They are always, always terrible, in my opinion. I cannot think of one single series where I haven’t hated it. (*side eyeing you, Tahereh Mafi*) To me […]
