Review: CINCO DE ZOMBIE by Alfred Aykler


4 Stars 

Nectar for conspiracy enthusiasts and "it's the Apocalypse!!" fans, CINCO DE ZOMBIE is a thoughtful "it's too late" tale starring a young man who once worked at a covert facility for "medical research." [Read: Bioweapon R & D]. He doesn't know what his job title was, his identity,  whether he has a hometown and a family.  He knows he has one friend, Austrian  "Ziggy. " Given the name Sid Singleton,  Our Hero has survived a massive Zombie attack [yes, Zombie] when the lab's security failed. [One of the secret labs: they are legion; and like cockroaches,  they exist everywhere.] "Sid" inexplicably not only survived but healed, seemingly immune to the Zombie virus that fells, then resurrects, others. So he and his best friend Zombie Ziggy, become Monster Hunters.  Because really, these covert labs are everywhere.

Review: THE GOBLETS IMMORTAL by Beth Overmyer



5 Stars!

An engagingly-written and very compelling fantasy which impelled from Page One. Emotionally touching with rapid-fire sword-and-sorcery action, THE GOBLETS IMMORTAL focuses on Aidan, a magic-possesser in a land where its existence is forbidden, and a new player, Meraude, a mage who is anti-magic. I anticipate more from author Beth Overmyer.

Review: THE BLOOD-DIMMED TIDE by Michael R. Johnston [The Remembrance War#2)


5 Space Stars


...They thought it was over. They believed the Zhen invasion had been thoroughly repelled. Earth would be safe again at last. 

....Not so.

Tajen, Liam, and crew burst into action again, because Earth MUST be defended....no matter the personal cost. THE BLOOD-DIMMED TIDE is Book 2 in THE REMEMBRANCE WAR Series,  sequel to THE WIDENING GYRE.

Review: BURN THE DARK by S. A. Hunt



5+ Stars!

 STUNNING!! Riveted me from Page 1 and never turned loose: a marvel of urban fantasy plus ancient Supernatural with thrumming resonances of original Grimm! Witch-hunter Robin has seen the evidence for herself, and dedicated her life to destroying witches. No, not Wiccans. Real witches, those whose hearts (quite literally) have been surrendered to Ereshkigal, and who need blood-fruit produced by dreads so that immortality avoids aging.

NA age group, rated 18+ due to language and violence and situations. Totally rad! Do not miss! First in series Malus Domestica.
