“Meddling Kids” is smart and scary, with chuckles and shudders aplenty. It’s the best kind of mashup – one that doesn’t use its premise as a crutch. Don’t get me wrong – the concept is awesome, but that’s not all there is. Cantero uses his brilliant central idea to spin out a story that proves worthy of such an outstanding origin.

“The Delirium Brief” is typical Stross and typical Laundry Files. It is smart and funny and weird and scary, driven by engaging, endearing characters and a vividly-detailed world that has been built with exquisite care...frankly, I envy those readers out there who have the opportunity to read this series from the beginning for the first time.

Perhaps Koontz's leanest, meanest thriller, this initial entry in a new series introduces a smart, appealing heroine who can outthink as well as outshoot the baddest of bad dudes.

Together, he and King have created what is both a superior addition to the never-quite-finished saga of Castle Rock and a cautionary tale directed toward a world that grows crazier – and more incomprehensible — with every passing day.

Middling for this distinguished series: yet more evidence of why Scandinavian crime writers continue to dominate international bestseller lists.

He wants to capture Ardglass alive, but it’s a mission fraught with peril...More fun than a plateful of haggis: a delightful read.

Seabury had a keen imagination and gift for atmosphere, and, even though modern readers may flinch a bit at some of the dated viewpoints and tropes, they’re likely to still have a grand time. De Grandin, “his little blond mustache twitching like the whiskers of an excited cat,” is an exuberant, delightful creation.

A tale as amiably warm as the Florida town where it's set but with its promises of real heat fading away before a pat conclusion that ties everything off a bit too neatly.

"This is everything a good supernatural thriller should be: It’s fast, fun, and has undeniable thematic depth. Two (hairy and clawed) thumbs up."

The story itself was a courageous take on actual history that as a whole was extremely well done in the classic Cussler style, however the ending itself felt abrupt and hurried. I did enjoy the rest of the novel in terms of content and originality for the series...

This is the song that winds up unmoored between the heart that’s felt it and the tip of the tongue that awaits the heart’s transmission, the song that dies with its singer until it rises like a spirit to wander American ground, in search of a promise that’s determined to keep itself.

L.F. Falconer does an amazing job unfolding a clever, well-written story in A Debt of Survival” with lots of layers, twists, and turns. Suspenseful, intriguing, and easy to follow, readers will be satisfied right up to the very last word.

Bottom line, this is once again an epically amazing and thrilling story, but I really hope Bishop returns to continue Simon and Meg’s unforgettable journey because this didn’t feel like a finale.

In language reminiscent of James Joyce's inventive interior monologues, and contentious scenes recalling the graveyard bickering of fellow Irish novelist Máirtín Ó Cadhain's Cré na Cille...Lincoln in the Bardo fulfills the promise of Saunders' twisted, inventive, and compassionate short stories.

Darnielle’s novel is beyond worthwhile; it’s a major work by an author who is quickly becoming one of the brightest stars in American fiction.

It’s disappointing that the tension created in the Harker section has nowhere to go, but even so, the outline has some intriguing plot changes.

Unsavory, unrepentant characters interspersed in a plot that’s as predictable as it is far-fetched make for an uninspiring read.

Readers nostalgic for the flash and dazzle of pulp derring-do will find this adventure tale a fitting homage.

I so wanted to enjoy The Guests on South Battery, but an annoying main character and a grossly predictable plot quickly dampened my enthusiasm.
