The Tyranny of Faith by Richard Swan

 


Title: The Tyranny of Faith

Series: Empire of the Wolf Book 2

Author: Richard Swan

Genre: Epic Fantasy

Published: February 14,2023 by Orbit

Thank you to Orbit and NetGalley for providing a copy for review.

I really liked The Justice of Kings last year following Helena as she trains with Justice Vonvalt while traveling the empire and solving a mystery. In Book 2 of the series, the unforgettable band of heroes are facing an empire in turmoil. This story is full of political intrigue and political unrest. It was completely enthralling and was even better that the first installment. I recommend this book to fans of epic fantasy stories with great character development. Now the ever difficult wait for the third book.

My Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

Happy Bunny and Other Mischiefs by Rebecca Gransden Book Review

  Title: Happy Bunny and Other Mischiefs Author: Rebecca Gransden Genre: Weird Fiction/ Horror Published: 10/30/24 by the author I received a copy for review from the author.  This collection of 14 short stories that are full of imaginative scenarios. The ideas are truly unique which helps to draw you in.  Imagine taking a friend's pigeon to the vet leads to an underground cult. Imagine a sentient turducken escaping its packaging to explore the world. These are just of a couple of the outrageously weird concepts explored in this collection. A couple of the stories are written a very fever dream kind of way that makes following the plot difficult. I don't fault the experimental writing, but I personally do not enjoy the confusion they left me feeling. The rest of the stories I enjoyed. The standout stories for me were SparrowEyes, with its creepy setting and creature, and Happy Bunny, with a person in a bunny costume getting teleported to various television and movie s...

Screams from the Void Book Review

  Title: Screams from the Void Author: Anne Tibbets Genre: Science Fiction/Horror Published: May 18,2021 by Flame Tree Press I received a copy for review from Flame Tree Press through NetGalley. My Thoughts: Raina is an Ensign Mechanic on the Demeter Spaceship for the United Space Corp in the year 2231. The Demeter's crew is picking up plant samples from many different planets when they discover an unknown biological creature is on board the ship. A creature is loose and is killing off the crew, but the creature is not the only monster on board. Raina must also deal with her abusive boyfriend as well.  I really enjoyed the setting of a small enclosed ship for creating a trapped claustrophobic backdrop for the horror to unfold. I also enjoyed the organization of the story. This story was told with alternating chapters where half the story is telling the story of finding out more about the creature, where it came from, its strengths and weaknesses, and how they can possible esca...

Frost Bite by Angela Sylvaine

  Title: Frost Bite Author: Angela Sylvaine Genre: Horror Published: 10/10/23 by Dark Matter INK I received a copy for review from the author.  Frost Bite is about a meteor carrying alien worms that infect animals in a small North Dakota town in 1997. This story was 100% pure fast-paced fun. It had some silliness with infected prairie dog attack along with a doomsday cult and alien worms. It also provides many 90s references and nostalgic moments. This would be the perfect winter read as it takes place in the middle of a frozen North Dakota December. There is not a dull moment in this story with its amazing pacing throughout.  If you are looking for a wintry fast-paced thrill ride with all the 90s vibes that steps way out of the norm then Frost Bite is a must read. I recommend it to fans of the thrilling and strange. My Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars
