Cited as the only extant firsthand record of a mermaid encounter in New England waters, this deathbed letter from a great-grandfather to his great-grandson is more likely an instructive fiction--a parable of regret. Supposedly corroborating...

4 STARS

Alrighty, then! Jay Kristoff does not believe in happy endings. I get it now! What is it with male authors I read lately who love to brake your heart at the end of their stories?(Pierce Brown, I'm looking right at ya!) Am I drawn subconsciously to such endings? Hmp ...

Heartbreaking.

Of all the beautiful things authors do, one of my favourite is when they're not shy to explore their character's personalities; granting them complexity and depth in order to help you understand them.

Characters like Ash are often thrown into a story but rarely explored...

I absolutely loved Valkyrie Rising! Ingrid Paulson has an amazing writing stile, which does through in Valkyrie Symptoms. In fact, her amazing writing may have been enough to earn it at least two stars, but I felt that there simply wasn't quite enough content to put her magic into effect.

In The Land Of The Dead
AuthorJonathan Maberry

If you haven't read Rot & Ruin (the first of the Benny Imura books) I highly recommend that you do. This is shaping up to be a spectacular series with a lot of heart. Love the writing, love the world-building, love the characters -- especially Benny's older brother Tom (be still my heart). Book...

I must say, I LOVE this series over all, but this last volume was a bit disappointing. Not only because the majority of the volume is 2 other bonus stories (which were okay I'll probably put my thoughts about them at the end of this review) but because the ending wasn't as good as I'd hoped. I admit, I did love...
