We Have Always Been Here by Lena Nguyen
We Have Always Been Here is a slow moving science fiction novel that has some mystery and intrigue but more often than not did not deliver. In the novel, a crew is sent to explore the planet Eos, where strange things were reported from two humans and an android that landed on the planet, by the ISF—an organization that could best be described as corporate overlords who control all things and peopl

| Dean Koontz tends to be hit or miss for me, and One Door Away from Heaven definitely missed the mark. This novel had all of the things that I don’t like about Koontz and none of the things that I enjoy about his work. In this story, Leilani is a girl ...more | |

| In The Flame Bearer, Uhtred is trying to recapture Bebbanburg. I like how the author built up this series. The seed was planted in the first novel of this series, when the Danes kill his father, and in an act of treachery, his uncle takes Bebbanburg. ...more | |

| I generally enjoy Lisa Gardner novels, but this one fell short of the mark for me. There were a few reasons for that. Some are not so easy to pinpoint since enjoyment of a novel can be subjective. But among the shortcomings was characterization, spec ...more | |
“I have seen many atrocities, but they are outweighed by the kind deeds that may seem small, but when added together, create a strong human spirit. Perhaps you would benefit from living a simple life away from war and politics.”
― Two For Eternity
― Two For Eternity
“Horror itself is a bit of a bullied genre, the antagonist being literary snobbery and public misconception. And I think good horror tackles our darkest fears, whatever they may be. It takes us into the minds of the victims, explores the threats, disseminates fear, studies how it changes us. It pulls back the curtain on the ugly underbelly of society, tears away the masks the monsters wear out in the world, shows us the potential truth of the human condition. Horror is truth, unflinching and honest. Not everybody wants to see that, but good horror ensures that it's there to be seen.”
