Review: Martin Dash by Andy Bailey (Book 1 of Day-to-Knight)

★★★★★ Martin Dash by Andy Bailey

Martin Dash is beautiful, charismatic, charming, and universally adored by everyone who meets him. He’s almost a perfect man, except for the one thing he lacks: emotion. Eternally devoid of any real semblance of empathy, self-identity, or passion, Martin Dash can only wander through his gifted path with nothing to give in return for the adoration and wonder afforded to him by fate.

Anyone who truly comes to know Martin Dash could agree that there lies nothing below his heavenly veneer; anyone except her. One woman claims to see something deep inside the man, and takes on a journey […]

Review: Seasons of Pain by Imowen Lodestone

★★★½ Seasons of Pain by Imowen Lodestone

Content warning for violence, sexual and partly graphic; general sexuality; abuse, substance use, and some forms of self-harm.

Jesse M. Lelrick is a Witch; well, she was a Witch. To anyone who asks, who has any right to ask, she’ll tell them flatly that she doesn’t do that anymore, she gave up her powers, and now she’s just your average college girl. She knows it’s a lie; she was cast out by her kuven and her personal struggles merely pushed her to distance herself from the practice, yet it’s still inside her, pushing for space between depression, self-destruction, and […]

Review: End Time (The End Time Sage Book 1) by Daniel Greene

★★★★½ End Time by Daniel Greene

A savage, unforgettable zombie thrill ride.

From the very first scene of Greene’s gruesome, entrancing thriller, readers know that they are in for one hell of a ride. When a deadly virus begins to spread in the DRC, one might think that all the petty rivalries, policies, and ambitions of people would be put to the side for the sake of survival, but this novel takes readers not only through the brutal gore of an imagined zombie apocalypse, but also into some truly dark corners of human nature.

Readers are initially led to believe that this is a slowly […]
