Gosh I'm bad at writing post titles sometimes. But that's ok, hopefully the post itself will make up for it! So here's a thing I've noticed in sci-fi/fantasy books. The characters and the stories usually don't have a lot going on outside of the sci-fi/fantasy aspects and, usually, the romance. No hobbies or passions or interests or pasttimes. Occasionally they'll have some interest, but it won't...
Lestat is busy stalking his latest victim, but he's also being stalked himself. The devil himself comes to Lestat and tells him the story of his life and all of creation and asks him to make a choice that could change his life...

It's #Mermay! That time of year when artists start flooding Twitter and other social media with gorgeous drawings of mermaids, mermen, and merpals of all genders and even species. (Myself included this year!) So I thought, what better topic to give book recs for than merfolk? Unfortunately I haven't read a ton of mer books, despite them being one of my favorite supernatural creatures. I've got a...
Maggie's mentor ditched her months ago, leaving her heartsick and feeling like she's nothing more than a killer because of her supernatural gifts. But when monsters suddenly start showing up in Dinétah, she can't help but get involved and teams up with a young medicine man to try and stop whoever is creating the monsters before they can kill anyone...

Unable to pass up the offer, the two of...
I like retellings! I feel like a lot of people do. "Retelling" is a rather vague word though, when you think about it, because there are all different types of these books out there, ranging from different genres to different types of stories being retold to different twists. So I thought it'd be fun to talk about it and get everyone else's...
