Scott - Book Invasion

While i felt engaged in the story and followed it through, overall i felt it was teasing for something larger that never came.

This was a really exciting and gripping image of where current technology may evolve into. It was like an exciting body-swapping Black Mirror episode!

This was a great brutal literary horror fiction of revenge and cultural identity. I loved the tension, the build-up and then the release. The hunters become the hunted.

3.5 stars Parts Duke Nukem meets South Park meets classic Kevin Smith. Sophomoric humor abound in this ???Battle Royale??? but with aliens. Although the redeeming factors are some toilet humor chuckles and an epilogue author interview with the characters which was pretty hilarious.

Enjoyable for the self-aware characters and sharp-tongued banter.

No this is not related to the Netflix show.

Loved it! As an aspiring musician and someone who had played the small clubs and lived for the live music scene I really felt this book. PLUS the whole ‘pandemic' angle really hit home with the current state of things and I really enjoyed it. It had just enough scifi but nothing outlandish or overbearing.

Deep and stretching high fantasy filled with backstabbing quest for the throne, a strangely possessed assassin, and an indigenous tribesman weave together in this captivating tale.

With elements that felt familiar and unique, Szal spins an action-packed ride with a protagonizt that's isn't all anger and brawn. There's a human side to his characters that I really appreciated. Sci-fi on a asteroid city with an expansive plot that doesn't get too heavy.

I really loved this story (and I don't read a TON of fantasy). I felt that I was fortunate enough to find the author's ‘pronunciation guide' before diving in an it really helped me grasp the terminology here. I really loved the ‘hints' of the origins behind these ‘spirits' and the origins of the realms and the world this all takes place in.
Points for:
-the layers of motivations and tactics and deceptions
-the worldbuilding and the layers of ‘lore' happening
-the character growth and the ‘facing your demons' literally and figuratively.
-the creatures - the flayers and Dokojin
-the darkness and the brutality

Well done!

(audiobook review) What a hell of a ghost story! I felt as though I could see the house and the surrounding area i loved the environment of this story. This was not a book that you want to read alone at night. It settles in to your skin and pulls you in and the final act was really great! I'm not an avid horror reader but this sure set the bar high for future authors.

While a fun ‘found family' sci-fi story it seemed to have gotten in it's own way - Full review here:

This was really a spectacular read full of intrigue and brooding dark creatures and worlds. I really enjoyed this and would love to read more of the backstory of these characters!

Holy Macaroni! What a story. Stories. These chapters are so fluid and filled to the brim with movement and plot. Great read!

Almost felt like a Mike Judge follow up to ‘Idiocracy' (but in a good way!)

A haunting story of physical and emotional metamorphosis and the way it impacts the psychology of a tight-knit community. Well done!

Is this the new ‘Expanse'? Possibly! See my full video review here - https://youtu.be/lbvzitfFtMQ

Loved the story and loved the imagery. Dystopic and eerily dark. Reading along with the soundtrack is quite where experience. https://simonstalenhag.bandcamp.com/album/the-electric-state

Crude language, gutter punks, and gory action. Hollow zombies and Tar men. pretty entertaining overall, It has potential so I'll most likely continue the series.

4.5 stars. I think I really liked this one a lot more than ‘We Sold Our Souls' but then again I used to be a music blogger who spent hours scouring Bandcamp for hours on end in my spare time.

Loving it. Brutal space witches and a space jail compound.

Great action, fear, love, heartbreak.

This was a quite surprisingly rich book that reads light and easy to digest. Full review coming soon.

Good points. Delivered in a quick and digestible format. A bit of flexing here and there but it sends a decent message. Audiobook narrated by the author.

There was a lot to unpack, but also a lot to be desired. Though it was unique in what little of the world was revealed to us and the humor and action kept things moving.

I found this book very similar to The Circle by Dave Eggers in a good way. Solid 4 stars
