Abbott in Darkness – Book Review

December 31, 2022 by hpholo Leave a Comment

Never in my life did I think I’d enjoy a book about accounting adventures on a distant planet, but if anyone can change my mind, it’s D.J. Butler. In Abbott in Darkness, John Abbott is drowning in academic debt, but has a solid chance to pay it off through his new job with the interstellar […]

Wraithkin – Book Review

July 30, 2022 by holojacob Leave a Comment

Wraithkin Book Cover

Now that I’ve reached a little slow point in my writing schedule, I’ve been able to use that time to read a little more. One of my most recent reads was Wraithkin, a military sci-fi novel by Jason Cordova and the first book in his ongoing Kin Wars Saga. The book starts out on the […]

Library of the Sapphire Wind – Book Review

July 8, 2022 by hpholo Leave a Comment

Library of the Sapphire Wind Book Cover

There’s a meme that occasionally graces my social media feeds, lamenting that so many fictional heroes are unqualified teenagers, wishing for a story that follows an old grandma with the benefit of experience on her side. Jane Lindskold’s Library of the Sapphire Wind has become the book I recommend whenever I see this meme. In […]

Aries’ Red Sky – Book Review

June 24, 2022 by hpholo Leave a Comment

Ok, I’ve gotta thank James Young for his patience, ‘cause he sent me an audio code for this book years ago and I’ve spent all that time and multiple listens trying to articulate a review for this thing. Aries’ Red Sky is a grand, galaxy-spanning take of interstellar politics, war, and the humans that are […]

Cinnamon Bun – Book Review

April 17, 2022 by hpholo Leave a Comment

Cinnamon Bun Audiobook Cover

I’m slowly making my way through my massive LitRPG backlog, and this month’s book was Cinnamon Bun by RavensDigger! 😀 Admittedly, it took me a while to get into this one. It bills itself as a wholesome LitRPG, and it’s definitely that. In fact, despite being eager to embark on the adventures promised by the […]

Dungeon Crawler Carl – Book Review

February 20, 2022 by hpholo Leave a Comment

Dungeon Crawler Carl Audiobook Cover

I just finished listening to Matt Dinniman’s Dungeon Crawler Carl, and Y’ALL. If you have not experienced the audio version of this book specifically, you’re missing out on a treat.  Dungeon Crawler Carl is a LitRPG series-starter in which, in the blink of an eye, most of Earth’s population is obliterated and the planet is converted into a massive […]

Grave Mercy – Book Review

December 19, 2020 by hpholo Leave a Comment

Nun assassins, y’all. I’m not sure why the marketing didn’t just splash that all over the front of Grave Mercy, as once I heard that description, I was all over this book. For those who need more, here is the description from the book itself: Escaping from the brutality of an arranged marriage, seventeen-year-old Ismae […]

Halfway Dead – Book Review

April 4, 2020 by hpholo Leave a Comment

If the tagline “Come for the waffles. Stay for the magic.” doesn’t grab you by the throat and plunge your eyeballs straight into Terry Maggert’s Halfway Dead then you, my friend…well, probably haven’t met the right waffle. Which is all the more reason to visit the good witch Carlie at the diner in Halfway. Halfway […]

February 1, 2020 by hpholo Leave a Comment

Rauch and Frank are two down-on-their-luck roommates who just want better lives – Rauch for the two of them, Frank for other people. It’s why, when Frank isn’t working at the local comic shop, he prowls the streets as the costumed hero Lambda Man, using homemade tools to do whatever small good he can around […]

Easy to be a God – Book Review

In Robert J. Szmidt’s Easy to be a God, humanity has been expanding through the universe for 300 years, and not once has it encountered any other form of intelligent life – until a rough-and-tumble salvaging crew stumbles upon the 50,000-year-old remains of the first…and comes to regret it. It’s not the last time humanity […]

Self-Publishing for Profit – Book Review

February 18, 2018 by hpholo Leave a Comment

These days, “How to Self-Publish” books are a dime a dozen. Chris Kennedy’s Self-Publishing for Profit is $6.99 on Kindle, but it’s easily the best $6.99 you’ll ever spend if you’re looking to break into self-publishing. Kennedy’s writing background is similar to that of many indie writers, which is to say, he’d never really been […]

Entwined – Book Review

November 23, 2017 by hpholo Leave a Comment

Azalea is trapped.   Just when she should feel that everything is before her . . . beautiful gowns, dashing suitors, balls filled with dancing . . . it’s taken away. All of it. The Keeper understands. He’s trapped, too, held for centuries within the walls of the palace. And so he extends an invitation. Every […]
