HOO boy. I’ve been an advocate for Faith Hunter’s SOULWOOD series since the first book. That being said, Hunter hits her stride in FLAME IN THE DARK. When a senator’s home is attacked during a gathering of Knoxville’s prominent citizens, the local law enforcement doesn’t think the crime was perpetrated by, or directed at supernaturals, […]
So here’s the deal: I binge read the first six volumes of SAGA, and it was gutting. Then like the long term SAGA fans, I had to endure the eight month wait for the next volume, which was also gutting. The point being, I’ve never had a SAGA reading experience that didn’t involve an intense […]

On the one hand, I’m kind of glad that I found this installment of the STAR WARS canon to be so completely mediocre: it proves I’m not some maniacal fangirl that loves all-the-things without regard to factors like relevance or lack of ingenuity. On the other hand . . . Ugh. LOST STARS is the […]
