Being a massive superhero fan, especially one of the Batman universe, I had to pick up Catwoman: Soulstealer. As with the other DC Icons books, it follows our beloved superheroes during their teenage years, featuring unique stories that we haven’t read before. Catwoman: Soulstealer brought out so much of what we love about the snarky, super villain that […]
Ace of Shades was pitched to me as a dark fantasy for fans of Six of Crows, which meant that I was beyond excited to get my hands on it. But I had heard some kind of average things about it and was hesitant to pick it up until now. And boy, am I mad at myself […]
This review may contain minor spoilers for Strange the Dreamer. Check out my review for the first book here! How do you follow up with such a phenomenal book such as Strange the Dreamer? Creating an equally phenomenal sequel, that’s how. Thankfully, Muse of Nightmares was as epic and awesome as the first book, and reading it definitely gave me […]

Wow, this book… it was deliciously dark. Schaeffer brings readers into a tantalizing world where supernatural beings called unnaturals roam the earth and are mistrusted by the rest of the humans. Some of them are benign, such as fluffy dacts that are kept as pets, while some are dangerous, such as unicorns that suck the […]
After the Lights Go Out is a gripping survivalist story with an Australian setting, reminiscent of Tomorrow When the War Began or The Sky So Heavy. This one has an added twist of the father being a survivalist who has taken extreme measures into protecting his family and training them in the art of surviving in the wilderness on their […]
