Review: Wayward by Chuck Wendig

Posted on January 27, 2023 by Liz (AKA Cat)

Wow. Chuck Wendig sure has a way with words, doesn’t he? I’ll be honest; I never expected a sequel to Wanderers, though now I question why. Wayward felt inevitable – a follow-up that we’ve all been waiting for. Continue reading →

Review: Echo by Thomas Olde Heuvelt

Posted on December 29, 2022 by Liz (AKA Cat)

There are a lot of reasons why I really wanted to read Echo by Thomas Olde Heuvelt. First, the cover reminded me of Wool, a book (well, series) I’ve been thinking a lot about lately. For another, the opening scene reminded me of a popular graphic novel/television series. Continue reading →

Review: And Then I Woke Up by Malcolm Devlin

Posted on July 6, 2022 by Liz (AKA Cat)

And Then I Woke Up is the latest novel by Malcolm Devlin, though if I’m being honest, it is also the first novel I’ve read by this author. However, when I saw the pitch for this book, I knew I had to read it. Anytime you promise me a book that reads like a Mira Grant or Stephen Graham Jones novel, I’m there. Continue reading →
