I Who Have Never Known Men Review: An Ode to Curiosity and Hope

I often look for short, fast paced books to fill my time and provide an easy finish for my annual reading goals, and I picked up this book after hearing the recommendation on a podcast I listen to frequently. I wouldn’t say I Who Have Never Known Men is a fast-paced book, but its steady momentum kept me entertained.

Out of the Silent Planet: The Sci-fi Series No One is Still Talking About

The book brings out theological issues like the concept of falling from grace, and the impact of a planet’s god on the entire world. Sometimes genre fiction can fall flat when it comes to deeper meanings, but Out of the Silent Planet is not one of those novels.

The Night Library at Sternendach — A Vampire Opera Novel Review

The Night Library of Sternendach reads as a mixture of Buffy the Vampire Slayer meets Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Phantom of the Opera — revolving around the library at Castle Sternendach, the Graf’s home. The dance of words played in my mind’s eye with each new verse. All I needed was Andrew Lloyd Webber to write the music. I’ve already cast the show for him, if he’ll but ask.

Death of a Billionaire, a Satirical Sci-Fi Murder Mystery Review

Despite the predictability of the characters typical of murder mysteries, the plot was fresh and unexpected, engaging me through all the twists and setbacks. There was never a moment where I was actually able to predict the ending.

The Whisking Hour — An Advanced Review of Murder, Baked Goods, and Theatre

Now, when I say delectable, I mean it. Practically every page of “The Whisking Hour” drips with baked-in goodness in a vibrant, descriptive tone. For, you see, the narrator is Juliet Capshaw, the owner and head baker at Torte, a cafe and bakery in the small town of Ashland, Oregon.

Indiana Belle, A Time Travel Romance Review

John A. Heldt’s book Indiana Belle was not what I expected. I saw the cover and thought that it was a historical fiction about a woman in the Roaring 20s rebelling against the norms of societal expectations. It is — but it’s also so much more. The unique tale contains aspects of science fiction, mystery, and romance, all while telling a compelling story using many genre tropes.
