Wolf Worm by T. KingfisherHorrorMarch 24, 2026 by Tor NightfireARC I can't keep up with all the new releases from this author. I think I've read three or four in the last year. I wasn't sure what to expect going into this book, I just knew I was in for a treat. I must warn you though, there are so many bugs in this book, so if bugs are a hard no for you then this book might not your cup of tea. This book starts out slowly, as the main protagonist, Sonia Wilson, arrives at a house Continue Reading
Review: This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me by Ilona Andrews
This Kingdome Will Not Kill Me by Ilona AndrewsMaggie the Undying #1FantasyMarch 31, 2026 by Tor BooksARC Review by Angela I'm not going to say this is the best thing Ilona Andrews has ever written, because I feel like I say that with every book, but I honestly think this may be way, way up there in the list of best things that they've written. As soon as this hit my Kindle I set aside everything else on my plate and dove in-- and didn't come up for air until I finished. And now I'm Continue Reading
Review: Hemlock & Silver by T. Kingfisher
Hemlock & Silver by T. KingfisherFantasy/ Fairy Tale RetellingsAugust 19, 2025--Tor BooksARC Review by Angela I am a huge fan of T. Kingfisher, whether it be horror, fantasy, or dark fairy tale retellings. Hemlock & Silver is a retelling of Snow White, and I didn't even read the blurb before I hit that request button. Hemlock & Silver opens by introducing Anja, poison expert and healer, who is taken completely by surprise when the king appears in her workshop one day Continue Reading
Mini Reviews- Cold Eternity by S.A. Barnes and Who Will Remember by C. S. Harris
Cold Eternity by S.A. BarnesScience Fiction/HorrorApril 8, 2025 by Tor Nightfire Last year I received this author's second book for review and waited FOREVER to read it, then finally picked it up at the end of the year when I was in a bit of a book slump. I was so mad at myself for waiting so long. I immediately went to my Libby app to see what else was available by S.A. Barnes. So, when this book came up for review, I quickly hit that request button. All three of the books I've read Continue Reading

Review: Ghost Station by S.A. Barnes
Ghost Station by S.A. BarnesScience Fiction/HorrorApril 9, 2024- Tor NightfireARC Review by Angela I'm not sure why I waited so long to read this book, maybe when I first picked it up I wasn't in the mood for dark, atmospheric, grim science fiction? Not quite sure. I do know that once I finally opened it for a second time the other day, I read it straight through to the end in one sitting. Ghost Station is told from the POV of Dr. Ophelia Bray, a psychologist with a complicated Continue Reading

KingfisherFantasy/Horror/Fairy Tale RetellingAugust 6, 2024- Tor BooksARC Review by Angela I've been in a bit of a book slump this year--constantly starting and stopping books, looking for something to catch my attention. But then a new T. Kingfisher appeared on my Kindle, and I just knew that this would be the thing to kick my reading year back into high gear. Based on this author's previous fantasy/horror titles, I was expecting something dark and Continue Reading

Angela’s Minis- Reviews for books by Shelley Parker-Chan and Pippa Grant
He Who Drowned the World by Shelley Parker-ChanThe Radiant Emperor #2LGBTQ Historical FantasyAugust 22, 2023- TorARC After absolutely loving the first book in this duology, She Who Becomes the Sun, I was desperate to get my hands on the finale. This book is brutal. The main protagonists are dark and unrelenting in their separate quests- for power, for redemption, and for revenge. These are terrible people who repeatedly do terrible things. The story is told from multiple POVs and Continue Reading
Angela’s Minis- Thornhedge by T. Kingfisher and Looking Glass Sound by Catriona Ward
Thornhedge by T. KingfisherFairytale Retelling/FantasyAugust 15, 2023- Tor BooksARC T. Kingfisher is an author I've grown to love, whether it's romantic fantasy, horror, or in this case a twisted fairytale retelling. This is a reimagined sleeping beauty, where the sleeping princess is an evil changeling and the fairy godmother is actually the heroine of the story. Yes, there is even a kind-hearted knight bent on rescue, but he's not what you've come to expect either. Thornhedge is Continue Reading
