What.   T h e.   F U C K.   did I just read?!   I don’t even know how to properly rate this book. This was 10/10 the weirdest, most disturbing book I’ve ever read in my life. It started off fairly normal – a pandemic sweeps across the nation and changes life as everyone knows it (much like COVID) – but then shit starts getting certifiably fucked. It was morbidly fascinating, though (in the way a train […]

I expected so, so much more from this. Here I am again, the black sheep – the ratings for this book on Goodreads are fantastic (seriously, WHERE are the 1 and 2 star reviews?!), and with it being a space book? I was sure I’d love it. Womp, womp. I remember exactly nothing about the plot or what happened in this book. I remember that the writing was super bland and the story was generic AF, like a million other […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

This is a hard book to review for me. I don’t have a whole lot to say about this book, because overall it was just okay. The concept was really cool, but nothing about it really stood out for me and it was a pretty mediocre space opera. I think a lot of people will love this, but for someone who reads a lot of science fiction it might feel a bit generic. The main thing I have to comment […]
