    November wasn’t a great month quantity-wise, but as far as quality goes, I can’t complain. They were almost all four-star books, so it made it all worth it.    Devil’s Way by Robert Bryndza This is my very first advanced reader’s copy ever, and who better than a book by one of my […]

    As per your request, I decided to make a comprehensive mini-guide in order to introduce you to some Nordic Noir authors. Since it’s my favorite genre and November is coming to a rapid end, I had to oblige. If you’ve been following me for a while, you know I have a penchant for […]

  First of all, I’d like to thank Raven Street Publishing, Robert Bryndza, and Netgalley for my advanced reader’s copy. If you want to get your own copy it’s available for pre-order on Amazon, and the paperback releases on January 12, 2023.   Trigger warnings: addiction, mental illness.     Plot     This is […]
