A Darker Shade of Magic

A Darker Shade of Magic was a fun fantasy scifi hybrid that kept me wanting more. It had a cool magical system, fun characters and a great cast of villains. So if you're down for something a little di...

Consumed Review

If you're looking for something in the vein of Philip K. Dick or Nabokov, than Consumed is the novel for you. It's different, it's weird and it makes you think.

The Strain Season One

Vampires have had a bit of a bad rep these days. They’ve been everywhere. Clogging up our bookshelves, glaring moodily from the small and the big screen. The Strain written by Guillermo del Toro...
