Trad Wife is a fun read that managed to avoid triggering my irritation by not falling into a common pattern that books like this follow. And by "books like this," I mean books with a darkly erotic or salacious premise that don't brand themselves as da ...more

I'm Thinking Ending Things is a very hard book to review. On one hand, it pulled me in fairly quickly, introducing lots of compelling reader questions. The writing is sharp and good. I could relate to the protagonist's vacillation, rumination, and ge ...more

It’s been a minute since I’ve gotten sucked into a good story like this. Considering the state of the world right now, I’m especially grateful to Joe Hill for that. It seems like such an obvious thing to do: write a horror book with a dragon as the mo ...more

The next time someone wants an example of how not to romanticize or eroticize problematic behavior, I’ll point them to Orpheus Builds a Girl. Now, mind you, I prefer my dark content at least a little romanticized or eroticized, so this book wasn't th ...more

100% Match is almost impressively disgusting, but it did easily hold my attention. It used a unique and fun narrative device, with the protagonist listing various relationship-related statistics throughout. I mainly removed a star because I found the ...more
