What a great read. It is set in the future as are all the other books in the series. I read the others and enjoyed them as well. If you like dystopian genre, then this is a series to check out. Highly recommend

I felt this book was okay. I didn't really see the bonds of women friendship. I felt like absolutely every single character was super unhappy, and that was kind of hard to read about. I also didn't really feel like the story went anywhere.

A somewhat amateurish, but still enjoyable, giant monster book. It has a really fast pace that is hampered by predictable beats, and the characters are pretty thin. However, the Meso-American mythology was refreshingly unusual for books like this, and the stompy action was satisfying.

It's rare that I enjoy a collection of short stories as much as this one, and if I do, it's usually all from one author. Interestingly, and somewhat annoyingly, each short story had an even shorter little into. This would have been useful in the table of contents, rather than directly in front of each story. It would make reviewing each story easier, rather than just being an extra page to flip past. I didn't read a single one after the first.

Like many people, when I think of rats, I think of fleas, filth, and the plague.
Imagine if you will, a world where rats do not carry disease, but cure it. Where instead of killing rats as pests they must be preserved because their blood has the power to heal. When these rats go missing from the lab, it first seems that they may have been stolen. But as the body count goes higher, it's clear these rats have had enough of being experimented on. After a while the rat attacks did get a bit repetitive for my taste but I did still enjoy the story.
I don't usually get into books about government experiments gone awry, but this had a good Sci-Fi/horror/creature feature vibe to it that held my interest.
I received a complimentary copy for review.

I am glad I read this book alongside listening to the Audiobook of Dopesick. I couldn't have asked for a better fiction/nonfiction pairing about the consequences of heroin addiction. This is a dark story and I personally found Selby's stream-of-conscious prose and his play with grammar entertaining. The surface level of this story is about the ramifications of heroin use, particularly how the addicts constant quest to avoid dopesickness really constricts their vision of the future and, therefore, their dreams. There is also a condemnation of the 'American Dream' interpreted as the never-ending rat-race to accumulate material possessions because it nurtures vices rather than virtues: greediness, selfishness, hatred, fear....
If you enjoy Cormac McCarthy of Tom Wolfe, you should enjoy Selby's writing style.

The characters were fully developed, and the main character made me want to cry – she had such a hard life and was working so hard at trying to forget the promises that were broken and the emotional pain that she experienced. The author mixed this in with an endearing story of revitalization. I liked all of the characters – well, except the dead husband and the slimy uncle – and the writing displayed the ambivalence of her situation and feelings. The reader comes out relating with the main character and caring for her troubles and mixed emotions – and the sources of same.

This is the second book of this series and I found it to be as good as the first one, fast paced and a thrill ride. I will anxiously await for the next book. Many thanks to TBC Facebook group for allowing me to review the book :)

I am looking forward to the next book the author writes. I enjoyed her style of writing. Cant wait to read more.

Well, the subject matter seemed to jump around a bit, but overall it was a good and interesting compendium on the science and data necessary to be gathered and examined for various kinds of predictions, particularly weather. And the slap in the face of the Trump administration was appropriate…

Parallel Worlds Beneath Earth
At first it was like, "uh, what? Too confusing." But as the story developed and the multiverse started to make sense, it gets very interesting. This is a parallel world adventure unlike any other. Seekers find long lost treasures scattered or hidden throughout the worlds beneath Earth.
Yes, you read that right. Parallel worlds that are beneath Earth… literally. Earth is the central hub, travel between the parallel worlds must always pass through Earth. But it gets interesting that creatures and beings from there other worlds mostly stay away from Earth but Seekers loves to enter their worlds and bring back something.
This is the story of Mira Brand, a Seeker out to prove something, together with her unlikely friends, they set out to find treasures no one else have ever found… until now.

Loved this book and the characters from the very first chapter! The writing is exquisite and you really feel you get to know all of the characters so well. The Count is completely charming despite any circumstance he ends up in. Looking forward to reading more from this author in the future!
