Review: A Reckoning Up Black Cat Hollow

A Reckoning Up Black Cat Hollow A Reckoning Up Black Cat Hollow by Matthew F Jones
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Veteran Jack Spinks is driving when he sees a young woman stumble out of the trees to the side of the road. Deciding to be a good Samaritan, he stops to help her, and his whole life changes in an instant. The girl is obviously traumatized, but when a car blocks his path, she freaks out, claiming demons are out to kill her. This leads to them having to trek over a mountain and through woods, and Spinks starts to wonder about his own sanity as the night progresses.

This is one of those books where you don't know what is going on, and if things are as they seem. A great concept, though I struggled with the writing style. Still a great story and well worth a read.

Review: Spiderlight

Spiderlight Spiderlight by Adrian Tchaikovsky
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Ever been in one of those doomed D&D adventures, where the fate of the world is in your hands, but you are not sure you are going to survive until the end? This is what Spiderlight felt like to me, which is just about perfect.

The prophercy was a tricky one, how to beat the Dark Lord that was threatening th good people of the land. The Church of Armes has finally brought forward a champion that has figured it out. Now with a group of adventurers ready to bave the dangers ahead, they head into the dark forrest to reach the spider queen. The Spiderway goes through her, but that means going through an army of spiders first.

I loved this book. The characters are brilliantly flawed, no one there for a good reason, not even the good guys. The twists and turns you do not see coming, and I love that. It is a book of epic fantasy that will keep you on your toes, as you watch the adventurers question their own morals the whole way through.

Typical Tchaikovsky, just making everything look amazing and easy.
