Fans of Leigh’s will recognize her trademark style of using the voice of her female characters to tell a humorous story of faith and romance. The secondary characters and mini-plots round out the novel.

The God Engines by John Scalzi
If it wasn’t already obvious The God Engines is rife with metaphor; and especially metaphors about faith. Faith as iron. Faith as power. Faith as a weapon. Faith as a doorway. Faith is everything. As the novel also goes on to reveal faith is also absolutely nothing. Again this results [...]

Monster Republic by Ben Horton
As a relatively short read, Monster Republic doesn’t stop from the opening chapter. What is enjoyable is the fact that it gives character development along the way while also building the story and background effectively. Not only that, but Horton puts the characters in the situation we would be in and [...]

Catching Fire (The Second Book of the Hunger Games) by Suzanne Collins
The Hunger Games is without question a difficult act to follow. Catching Fire, however, mostly makes the grade, despite some flaws that are largely inherent to its position in the middle of a trilogy.
Everything that I loved about The Hunger Games is still present [...]

The Princes Of The Golden Cage by Nathalie Mallet
I enjoy both mystery and fantasy, so I got a big kick out of this book. Mallet blends the two genres together very nicely indeed. She gives us both a fully realized secondary world (which sports clear ties to certain regions of our own world) and a [...]

Terminal World by Alastair Reynolds
At the core of Terminal World lies a huge mystery. Interestingly, its a mystery that the central characters, Quillon and Meroka, have no real interest in. One of the side-characters does and spends some time discussing it, but at the end of the day he backs off from pursuing it, leaving [...]

Altar of Eden by James Rollins
This is a fast-paced thriller that modernizes Dr. Moreau using recent current events including the Iraq War and genetic breakthroughs; but the key is like HG Wells did, James Rollins makes the bad guys and altered animals especially the one that got away three dimensional and intelligent. The lead couple [...]

Austre is a god of faith, meaning he is not a living, breathing god who walks among the people. Another form of gods that exist in Hallendren are [...]

Urban Gothic by Brian Keene
Brian Keene can always be counted on for providing a frightening horror novel that scares the hell out if his fans. In many ways URBAN GOTHIC is a thin plotted slasher movie except the characters don’t quite fit as they understand survival means teaming together not wandering alone begging to become [...]
