| The fantasy elements of this one were intriguing, but (perhaps the title should have suggested this to me), it was very dark. The main character delves into the occult quite a bit, even though she's a charlatan and lies that she's communing with spir ...more | |

| I love fairy tale retellings. Yet I didn't finish this one, probably because the emphasis was SO much on the romance... the prince who hadn't yet become the beast starts mooning over the Belle character the instant he meets her, and then inferring al ...more | |

Like many others, I probably picked this up because of "The Martian," which was brilliant in every way. If Andy Weir's mind works like that, I'm willing to give anything he writes a chance! This short story had a decent plot, revolving around the con ...more |

“Kane pulled a key from a piece of thread around his neck that looked just like the skeleton key Gerald had given Peter the night before, and slid it into the keyhole. "Welcome," said Kane dramatically, as he pushed the doors open, "to the complete and secret history of the Watchers.”
