ARC Review: Fossil Magic
A review for the historical fantasy based on the life of Mary Anning. The Geomagician by Jennifer Mandula is a fun story full of science, magic and religion. I really enjoyed reading this reimagined life of Mary Anning and how fossils are used for magic.
ARC Review: A Gothic Fantasy
A review for the newest supernatural gothic mystery by Kiersten White. The Fox and the Devil is a fascinating story of the hunt for a supernatural serial killer at the turn of the century. The atmospheric setting of the late 1800s is very well done with a group of characters that you will love.
Mini-Reviews:
Here are two fairly short reviews for the last two books I read. I highly recommend both of them. The first, A Judgement of Powers by Benedict Jacka is the third book in the series. It was a great addition to a wonderful urban fantasy. The Crimson Throne by Sara Raasch and Beth Revis is a YA historical fantasy set in Scotland during Queen Mary’s reign. This one is also great and will be a duology.
Book Review: A Western Horror
A review for the novel The Unkillable Frank Lightning by Josh Rountree. This story is a retelling of Frankenstein but set in the Old West and features a woman doctor. I found the story to be quite riveting and not as horror filled as the cover might suggest.
ARC Review:
A review for the adult debut, A Land So Wide by Erin A. Craig. This is a very atmospheric, historical fantasy with a bit of horror and romance mixed in. I loved the main character and her journey to find her lost love and rescue him from a terrible fate.
