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 :)

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!

Konrad has never had much of a relationship with his father. He's always off somewhere, rarely returning home. "Mostly he and his mother lived alone, happy."
When Konrad's mother is murdered he finally learns what Father is up to. Werewolf hunting! But does Father always know best? Konrad is not sure whether he should trust Father's ability to discern werewolves from men, or who should be put to death.
This was a short read, less than 100 pages. There was nothing really remarkable about it other than "Father" never being named and only referred to as "Father" even when not with his son, which seemed odd.
I did like the ending.
I received a complimentary copy for review.

Full Disclosure: I received a copy of this book from the author on the condition I would post a honest review.

Run From The Stars is a interesting space opera centering around the protagonist Space Fleet Operative Jane. While still young, her ways of thinking get her out of situations that leave everyone else scratching her head. The language of the novel is very descriptive and the action (with rare exception) keeps rolling from the first page. The technology used is interesting, as is the methods of use, something a Sci-Fi buff will like. I found the novel a relaxing and enjoyable read.
