“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.

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

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

Despite an awkward transition or two and a bit of padding (there’s a recipe for Welsh rarebit), the Bell series hits the right note for those who like crime fiction with a unique setting.

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 a recent New Yorker essay, Saunders wrote that “literature is a form of fondness-for-life. It is love for life taking verbal form,” and this love suffuses Lincoln in the Bardo. This is a novel that’s so intimate and human, so profound, that it seems like an act of grace.

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

There is a musical rhythm to the prose that draws the reader in from the first sentence and will keep everyone reading until the last.

She sets up a nail-biting dilemma involving the continued existence of vampires, and the second half of the book roars satisfyingly past.

The authors tend to use too much detail (Rosa plops down on Claire’s “soft, comfortable, dark green, velour sofa”), and almost every female character is attractive (Claire is “beautiful”; others are “hot” or “stunning”). All this might have worked better on the screen.

...If Dust Bath Revival doesn't quite work as a suspense novel, it is interesting as a book-length, sideways case for getting rid of stigma.

...though in many ways it seems nothing like one, this novel is at heart a fairy tale in the grand, dark tradition of the best of such stories; the book speaks to the reader’s deepest fears and highest hopes, told through the odyssey of a girl who is scared by what is happening around her and within her.

Novelist Ketchum and screenwriter McKee deliver an otherworldly, satirically streaked thriller about a precocious young actress, her psychically bonded dog, and her increasingly unhinged stage mother.

Unlike most Reacher books, which start at breathless velocity and then wind up having to work through huge, empty action scenes later, this one gets better as it goes along. Its complexity pays off with a better than usual MacGuffin and real teamwork against a global enemy.

NY Times

The storybook, impressively produced and crisply analyzed by both Tóibín and Kiely, harbors the potential to joyfully transform a burdensome year of “misery to merriness.” A unique, ageless Yuletide treasure for fans and collectors alike.

The ending is uncomfortably short in its brevity, and will doubtless leave the reader with many questions...It’s a novel worthy of being called the true sequel to Bram Stoker’s Dracula, and Patrick Sheane Duncan a writer rightfully deserving to be considered that author’s successor.

Smart, tender and insightful, I enjoyed this tremendously, and hope to see Moreno-Garcia write more stories in this world.

An oddly schizophrenic yarn—organized above, chaotic below—but fans of Brom’s weirdly offbeat imagination will find much to admire.

They loved and hated the month of October. Loved it because a new Mitch Rapp novel came out and hated it because they would have to wait another year for the next one. With Order To Kill, readers will get those same feelings. It appears the torch has been passed to Kyle Mills.
