Reviews:

"If you like your horse operas bloody, if you thought The Searchers was fine, except for all the missing vampires and werewolves and monsters, then … Tim Seeley, Aaron Campbell, and Jim Terry have a book here for you. Come walk with them through the Old West, and don’t trust them when they tell you it’s all going to be fine. It’s not. And we wouldn’t have it any other way.” --  Stephen Graham Jones (New York Times bestselling author of The Only Good Indians, My Heart is a Chainsaw)

“…a tawdry monster mash that’s bloody entertaining” – Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)

"Vigorous, bloody pulp fiction boned with fierce intelligence and blooded with delicate observation. This just might be the start of the best monster universe since Universal's." -- Daniel Kraus (New York Times bestselling author of The Shape of Water, Trollhunters, and The Autumnal)

“Western gets weird in this gore-strewn, rollicking adventure set in the 1870s …with a wink toward gothic Victorian horror.” – Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)

 

REVIEW: Gripped from the very beginning. Loved the backstory of Rosa and how she was born a vampire. I did have to flip back to see who Domingo was because the general and Domingo seemed like the same character to me and not their own seperate characters. I would have liked tho have some of the scenes slowed down and more fleshed out.

Review: The Cat Who Saved Books by Sosuke Natsukawa *spoilers*

 

I think I am getting into a slump and it is all thanks to this book and the one previous. It has just taken me so long to get through these. This book is also under 200 pages and it took me about 4-5 days to read. I am also fighting the worst pollen attack of all time. 

Like everyone else, I got the hype to read all of the cat books that are written by Japanese authors and this is the one I chose to fulfill my buzzword readathon prompt. I was just bored and reading a few pages and putting it down. When I was reading, I was falling asleep which NEVER happens. It wasn't just once or twice, it was every single time that I sat down to read this. 

This book is about a high school boy named Rintaro and his grandfather has just died. Rintaro is skipping school and cosing himself up in the bookstore that his grandfather owned. One day, this rude ass tabby cat just pops out of no where and says that he need Rintaro to go one some quests to save books.

The title is very misleading because the cat doesn't save any of the books. He is more like Rintaro's handler and gives him the job and tells him to get it done or he will be stuck forever in the labrynth. Of course during the course of the book, Rintaro comes out of his shell and learns some life lessons and the book ends with him no longer grieving. 

BLOG TOUR: The Refuge by N. Ford

I am thrilled to be hosting a spot on the THE REFUGE by N. Ford Blog Tour hosted by Rockstar Book Tours. Check out my post and make sure to enter the giveaway!

 

About The Book:

Title: THE REFUGE (THE REFUGE TRILOGY #1)

Author: N. Ford

Pub. Date: May 20, 2022

Publisher: Atmosphere Press

Formats: Paperback, eBook

Pages: 278

Find it: Goodreads, https://books2read.com/THE-REFUGE 

In a world that has ever only known war, generations still swing their swords on whispers of conflict from centuries past.

In Physis, the law of the land is 'every territory for itself.' Lineage is everything; racial identification is paramount; and territory loyalty is the code by which one lives or dies. But when a few individuals decide the given system isn't working, everything begins to change.

What will happen to the world when inherited authority is questioned; when standards of judgement are re-evaluated; and when independent thinkers redefine purpose for a new generation of leaders?

In The Refuge by N. Ford, readers travel from the snowy mountain estates of The Diamond Isles to the clay arenas of a warrior's life in Agon. They sail the Physis Sea, chasing mystery and meaning, and swim in the clear pool at the bottom of the Western Bay. Readers will meet love, loss, and sacrifice anew, while discovering what purpose can do when it's authentic and hard-won.
