The Monsters Among Us by Kent Priore
Worldbuilding: Piqued curiosity
Plot: Ambiguous Characters: Unbalanced
Storytelling: Minimalistic
Immersion: Satisfying, fulfilling experience Emotional Response: Didn’t feel much
Thought Provoking: New ideas came up
Cover: Unrelated to the story This is definitely one of the most unusual books I've ever read. I can see what the author was going for, but getting there was a bit messy. I can't say that I wasn't amused as hell getting there, though. Seth's life was a wild ride. Like a train wreck, but with more demons. Reviewed on |

A Hex For Hunger by Alistair Reeves
Worldbuilding: Piqued curiosity
Plot: Straightforward Characters: Roles are clear
Storytelling: Descriptive
Immersion: Didn’t want to put the book down Emotional Response: Engaging
Thought Provoking: New ideas came up
Cover: Matches the story well Still just as full of charm and flawless dialogue flow and banter as the first book, this one's subject matter was darker, more plot-heavy and less cozy. I think Ambrose and Emery's story deserved this treatment, as both of their stories deserved recognition and healing. Reviewed on |
