Review: Wake of Vultures (The Shadow Book 1) by Lila Bowen



Wake of Vultures (The Shadow Book 1) by Lila Bowen

I have been waiting to read Wake of Vultures for about a year now. This book touts some hefty recommendations by writers, and guess what, they're right.
Wake of Vultures was an awesome read. An eclectic paranormal western, and deep coming of age novel wove into one. Our main character, Nettie Lonesome, is a mix of race, gender, and teeters between the worlds of the hard west and wicked monsters. Completely original and perfectly paced, Wake of Vultures is a must read.

5/5 stars.

Stranger Things - This summer's must binge Netflix Original


The hype is strong when it comes to the Netflix Original STRANGER THINGS. And guess, what, it's all true. This supernatural science fiction thriller series hits the nail on the head. If you were an 80's kid, this TV series is one giant nostalgic feel. Steeped in everything 80's, the producers got everything right, down to the mud brown tupperware, rusty orange fabric hues, and banana seat bikes.  All of this, mixed with the brilliant sci fi minds of the 21st century, make for a show that you can't turn off. Winona Ryder delivers, as an over stressed mother searching for her missing son.


Here's the Netflix blurb: "A love letter to the supernatural classics of the 80’s, Stranger Things is the story of a young boy who vanishes into thin air. As friends, family and local police search for answers, they are drawn into an extraordinary mystery involving top-secret government experiments, terrifying supernatural forces and one very strange little girl.”

Thankfully this series doesn't end with a cliffhanger. Episode 8, "The Upside Down," answers most of our questions  and ties the first season up with a nice little bow that will leave you smiling. It also leaves a few strings of hope for a continuation of the series. I'm hoping Netflix signs on for more and that the producers are able to deliver the same magic.

A Review: Beyond the Stars: A Planet Too Far: a space opera anthology





I got my paws on a copy of Beyond the Stars: A Planet Too Far, and it was amazing!

Awesome collection of short stories. I read this entire collection all in one sitting and then went back to re-read again. I highly recommend this anthology.



5/5 twinkling stars!





The Blurb:
On the heels of the bestselling DARK BEYOND THE STARS anthology comes another collection of spectacular tales by eleven authors both well-known and brand new.

Space opera. Big, sprawling sci-fi stories that encompass strange new worlds, alien life forms, and deep space battles. You'll find all of that here.

Take a journey across the galaxy with these short stories and go BEYOND THE STARS to A Planet Too Far...

"I absolutely loved this book. All the different stories were great. My favorite characters were Alex White and Zelle. I recommend this to anyone who loves urban fantasy and space stories." SciFi/Fantasy Enthusiast

Morning Star by Pierce Brown






 I finally splurged and bought myself a copy of Morning Star, the third book in the Red Rising Trilogy. Wow. Wow wow wow wow. Brown blew this one out of the atmosphere. There are scenes from Red Rising that I will always love, but Morning Star takes the cake in this trilogy. Amazing. Awesome. Couldn't have been better.  Now what do I do with my life? Enter book hangover.

5/5 stars








The Blurb:
Darrow would have lived in peace, but his enemies brought him war. The Gold overlords demanded his obedience, hanged his wife, and enslaved his people. But Darrow is determined to fight back. Risking everything to transform himself and breach Gold society, Darrow has battled to survive the cutthroat rivalries that breed Society’s mightiest warriors, climbed the ranks, and waited patiently to unleash the revolution that will tear the hierarchy apart from within.

Finally, the time has come.

But devotion to honor and hunger for vengeance run deep on both sides. Darrow and his comrades-in-arms face powerful enemies without scruple or mercy. Among them are some Darrow once considered friends. To win, Darrow will need to inspire those shackled in darkness to break their chains, unmake the world their cruel masters have built, and claim a destiny too long denied—and too glorious to surrender.
