Review: Child Zero by Chris Holm

Posted on May 4, 2022 by Jenn

I’m not going to sugar coat it; Holms’ latest novel is terrifying.  As I closed the book, the first word I uttered had four letters. The cause of this exclamation was two fold: First, this novel is absolutely brilliant.  Holm … Continue reading →

Review: Recursion by Blake Crouch

Posted on June 17, 2019 by Jenn

My summary just touches the surface of the enormity Crouch has crafted in this truly complex techno-thriller. Any in-depth exploration of what transpires is certain to spoil the reading experience, one that will quite literally twist and distort anything and … Continue reading →

Review: Dark Matter by Blake Crouch

Posted on July 27, 2016 by Jenn

Ever since I heard about Crouch writing another science fiction novel, my interest was piqued. I’m a longtime fan of his writing, long before the The Pines made its debut as Wayward Pines on television. Crouch is an incredibly talented writer, capable of creating … Continue reading →

Review: Sleeping Giants by Sylvain Neuvel

Posted on May 25, 2016 by Jenn

Giant alien girl robot? I’m sold. From the very beginning, I was instantly captivating by this title’s premise. Of course, I’m also on this “end of the world, doomsday” reading kick, so that certainly helped as well. Told in alternating … Continue reading →

X-Files fans of all ages shouted with glee when we learned the show was making a television comeback.  Though the series did satiate my hunger, I knew the episodes were limited so I needed another quick fix.  When I heard … Continue reading →
