#FreeBooks! #Giveaways in Contemporary Upmarket Fiction and #NewReleases in #Fantasy

Okay, so I’m done, I’m absolutely, completely done with posting about Arkady Babchenko–for now. No doubt I’ll rant about it further again soon. Someone asked me if I felt personally betrayed or just upset by the situation, and I had to say: both. My personal acquaintance with Arkady is so slight that I certainly don’t […]

“Footballers: Featuring Ultimate Lacrosse: The Mistress’s Tale” by CB Archer

Footballers: Featuring Ultimate Lacrosse (Tales of Gentalia Book 13) CB Archer “Footballers: Featuring Ultimate Lacrosse” is, and I mean this in the nicest possible way, one of the silliest things I’ve read all year. The only thing that even comes close to it for silliness are the other stories in the same series. Seriously. They’re […]

Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror Giveaway

I’m taking a short break from reviewing other people’s books while I proof my own next release, so in the meantime here’s another giveaway event (at which you can *also* pick up a free e-ARC of The Dreaming Land I, my next book). It’s a fun and eclectic event, which you can find here. And the […]

“The Midnight Sea” by Kat Ross

The Midnight Sea Kat Ross I got this book as part of a free giveaway, and approached it with the the trepidation one always does in these situations. As usual, 50-75% of the books I got in the giveaway were not really worth reading, but a couple of them stood out, with “The Midnight Sea” […]

Want some dark romance? “Bloom” by Nikki Rae is #Free this weekend!

“Bloom” is one of the darkest, weirdest, most compelling fantasy romances I’ve read this year, so obviously I had to participate in its blog tour celebrating its free promo this weekend. Here’s the full wraparound cover: The blurb: Given to The Grimm Order as an infant, Fawn was raised in a world shaped by the […]

“The Five Daughters of the Moon” by Leena Likitalo

The Five Daughters of the Moon Leena Likitalo It’s exciting to me to see how many authors are out there writing Russian-themed fantasy. “The Five Daughters of the Moon” is a recent addition to this sub-genre. The setting is clearly an allusion to the Russian Empire just prior to the 1917 Revolution, but the setting […]
