In honor of Pride Month, and as part of my Summer of Horror event, I’m thrilled to present a bunch of upcoming queer horror books! All of these feature queer characters, queer themes, and/or are written by queer authors, and most of them were already on my TBR, I only had to do a little […]
The nitty-gritty: Unexpected twists and laugh-out-loud humor make this assassins-turned-good guys story an excellent sequel. “’Yo, snakes are attracted to sound,’ Booker says. ‘You a herpetologist now?’ I ask. ‘No, but remember that episode of The Simpsons where Lisa used stereo speakers to attract the snakes?’ ‘Okay, you are not a herpetologist. We don’t make […]
Welcome to Buffy’s Corner, where I take a look at what’s coming up this week on the blog! I’m linking up with The Sunday Post over at Kimberly’s blog, The Caffeinated Reviewer. I hope everyone has had a good first week of June! We got a surprise thunder storm earlier in the week, and it […]
The nitty-gritty: A thrilling and immersive adventure story, The Afterlife Project combines complex, thoughtful themes with relatable characters and bittersweet emotion. “And so, dear human reader of the future, I now commence the written record of an obscure, late-in-the-game, seaborne journey that has little chance of success.

We are nearing the halfway point of the year, can you believe it? June’s TBR is very fantasy heavy, for some reason, but it’s all fantasy I’m excited to read. My most anticipated book of the month is The Medusa Protocol, the second book in Rob Hart’s thrilling series about a group of assassins who […]

The nitty-gritty: Tochi Onyebuchi’s latest melds hard boiled noir and fantasy in a perfectly paced story with humor and heart. “The français are a Harmattan that never ends.” Harmattan Season is a tautly written crime story with magical overtones, set in a fantasy version of postcolonial West Africa.
