Monster -

by A. Lee Martinez

Comedy fantasy horror is my favorite kind of horror!

Feed (Newsflesh, #1) -

by Mira Grant

Such a good zombie story! With journalism and presidential politics and young people and much drama!

Divine Misfortune -

by A. Lee Martinez

A comedy of errors, with a boorish raccoon god and a reformed Quetzalcoatl.

A Nameless Witch -

by A. Lee Martinez

less haunting and more funny than other Martinez fantasies I’ve read. Still funny, though. Celebrates witchiness in a nearly Pratchetty way.

Dead Reign (Marla Mason, #3) -

by T.A. Pratt

I Am Not A Serial Killer (John Cleaver, #1) -

by Dan Wells

Wow - this is what I was hoping for but didn’t get when I read the first Dexter book (which just made me queasy and then bored). Features a seriously conflicted main character…

61 Hours (Jack Reacher Series, #14) -

by Lee Child

What, it’s like the 27th Reacher book. It’s better than the last one I read, OK?

The Gabble - and Other Stories -

by Neal Asher

Great stories from Neal Asher, set in the Polity world of most of his novels.

Changeless (The Parasol Protectorate, #2) -

by Gail Carriger

The first one was probably the stupidest fantasy novel I’ve ever read, so why did I pick up the second? Is this how Twilight readers feel? Confused and afraid? …nah,…

Milrose Munce and the Den of Professional Help -

by Douglas Anthony Cooper

A pleasant ghost story, including abduction and potential murder by school/authority figures. Somewhat Dahlian!

Bone Shop (Marla Mason Prequel) -

by T.A. Pratt

Pretty grim stuff for a modern fantasy escapist fluff whatever thing! Sadly, the publisher abandoned the series after this one. ::shrug:: I would have kept buying more.

Sh*t My Dad Says -

by Justin Halpern

just a tiny little morsel, but enjoyable.

Too Many Curses -

by A. Lee Martinez

at its best, evokes late witch-canon Pratchett in celebrating down-to-earth qualities. Quite nice.

Like Warm Sun on Nekkid Bottoms -

by Chuck Austen

Ok, it’s a sex comedy. I liked it in the end (ha!) but struggled through a few parts where I wanted to punch the main character in the face for making yet another stupid awful…

Poison Sleep (Marla Mason, #2) -

by T.A. Pratt

The second Marla Mason book. I barely likes the first one, and picked this up because of John Gillette’s fierce burning love of the series. And yeah, this one was better.
