by
Underhill Transit Services

Genre: Poetry, Fantasy, Urban Fantasy Reviewer: Scott Get It On Amazon About The Book A poetry book about how the Fae and the Gods make the Subway theirs. The Review What if the Old Gods walked among us, and used the subway? That’s the fascinating premise behind Shirley Meier’s new poetry book, Underhill Transit Services. How would those Gods deal with the assorted nuisances, smells and inconveniences of traveling on the Underground? The answer is about as well as the rest of us. I loved the way Meier combined the mundane and mortal with the magical, often pissing off both … Read more

Amazing Review for The Dragon Eater

by
Archer Kay Leah review - The Dragon Eater

Just got a freaking AMAZING 5 star review of The Dragon Eater from Archer Kay Leah. I am NOT crying. The Dragon Eater is an engaging work of speculative fiction featuring queer characters, this time blending traditional high (and epic) fantasy with the shiny glimmers of science fiction… As a fan of fantasy and sci-fi, I loved this book. The author’s experience with both genres shines through: the writing is tight and clear with everything well thought out and intertwined. There’s no fluff here—everything has a purpose, even if you can’t figure out what it is yet. The worldbuilding is there from the … Read more

Skythane Audiobook Review – Xtreme Delusions

by

Just got a great review for the Skythane audiobook from Xtreme Delusions: Skythane is not my normal type of book to read but a couple of things made me want to listen to and review it. First off, I’ve owned a copy of this book since 2018 when the author gave me a copy to review when I have time (oops). Second, I’ve enjoyed other audiobooks performed by Kevin Earlywine. I’m kind of kicking myself for waiting so long to enjoy this story. It grabbed me from the beginning and held my attention throughout. I don’t think I can do a … Read more

Review: The Stark Divide

by
The Stark Divide - J. Scott Coatsworth

Just got a five star review from Ulysses at the Paranormal Romance Guild Universal Buy Link The Review I was drawn to this book initially because of the character of Colin McAvery. The presence of a gay character, with a partner, in a sci-fi series. What I didn’t expect was that, while McAvery is central to the story, whose epic sweep covers thirty years in the life of the Ariadne project, he is just himself. My reading trends these past dozen years have taken me to books that feature gay characters, gay plotlines, gay context. That’s not really what Coatsworth … Read more
