The Wicked King by Holly Black

The Wicked King, the sequel to Holly Black's fascinating dark faerie tale, debuted just after the New Year but because of my self-imposed book buying restrictions I had to wait until the library saved me a copy.

Odd Thomas by Dean Koontz

In 2013 Anton Yelchin stared as Odd Thomas in the film of the same name. I really enjoyed the movie and, like most great movies, I was unsurprised to find out that it was based on a book. I quickly added it to my Goodreads TBR shelf and forgot about it. But, since I am... Continue Reading →

In her terrific debut novel the premise is almost that simple - people with silver blood are born with inherent and supernatural gifts. Those born with red bl     ood have no gifts and as such are destined... Continue Reading →
