Dungeon Crawler Carl is a wholly unexpected book that blurs the line between science fiction and fantasy. Carl and Princess Donut made me laugh and brought kindness to a dungeon. This book is complex, entertaining, and moving. Highly recommended.
Review: Melinda West and the Gremlin Queen
K.C. Grifant's Melinda West and the Gremlin Queen is a fast paced adventure with horror, action, and, this time, gremlins. Melinda West delivers the action, the story, and the gun-slinging. Highly recommended.

Splinter Effect by Andrew Ludington is an excellent time travel adventure. Highly recommended.
Review: A Drop of Corruption
A Drop of Corruption by Robert Jackson Bennett is the second in the Shadow of the Leviathan series. It's a wonderful book that builds upon the first in the series. Ana and Din, once again, must protect the Empire in their unique way. Highly recommended.
Review: In the Shadow of the Fall
Tobi Ogundiran's In the Shadow of the Fall opens up a duology in which ambition leads to the re-ignition of an old war. Can Ashâke handle the consequences of her actions? Recommended.

Review: The Dead Cat Tail Assassins
The Dead Cat Tail Assassins by P. Djèlí Clark is a wonderful, action-packed book. Follow Eveen as she tries to unravel what is happening to her in this engrossing world. Highly recommended.
