Into the Rift by Clay Harmon Book Review

 

Title: Into the Rift

Author: Clay Harmon

Series: The Rift Walker Series book 2

Genre: Fantasy

Published: 7/2/24 by Solaris

I received a copy for review through NetGalley.

 

This second installment in The Rift Walker Series follows Jakar and Efadora as they leave Augustin to save his elemental friends he was enslaved with as a child. Also Smith Ester is tasked with finding the rhidium that was stolen by a group of rebels fighting against the Sovereign. 

This is a really fantasy series with a unique magic system and world building. All of the characters are interesting and complex. The characters do a lot of growing and changing. The plot is dark and propulsive. 

I highly recommend The Rift Walker Series starting with The Flames of Mira to fans of dark fantasy. This series has so much to love.

My Rating: 4.25 out of 5 stars

When the Night Falls by Glenn Rolfe Book Review

  Title: When the Night Falls Author: Glenn Rolfe Series: Until Summer Comes Around Book 2 Genre: Horror Published: 6/11/24 by Flame Tree Press I received a copy for review through NetGalley.   A group of vampires descend upon a beach town after a documentary airs about the killings that took place there years ago. These vampires seem set on getting to Rocky, and leave a large body count in their wake. When the Night Falls is the sequel to the beach town vampire story Until Summer Comes Around. This time the story is a little bit darker and a little bit bloodier. It takes place in the 1990s with plenty of fun nods to the decade to set time and place. I would highly recommend this series to fans of vampire stories. These are fast fun reads for summer. My Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
