One Death at a Time
One Death at a Time
by Abbi Waxman
Mason and Julia are my new Justice League! (1/8/2025)
One Death at a Time is a bit of a departure for Waxman and it is well done. There is signature Waxman pacing and strong female characters written with smart, funny dialog, but this time in the service of a buddy comedy/mystery. I enjoyed Mason, Julia and the whole cast, and …more

The Witches at the End of the World
by Chelsea Iversen
Compelling magical realism with humanity at its heart (8/28/2023)
Chelsea Iversen has created a captivating world in which sisters deal with a traumatic childhood and the ways it continues to impact their adulthoods. Her world was so compelling that at times I forgot I was reading, as the images and moods she was able to create put my …more
