So excited and thrilled to see Murderbot listed on the New York Times Best TV Shows of 2025 So Far!!! ~In this comic sci-fi thriller, based on the novel “All Systems Red” by Martha Wells, Alexander Skarsgard plays a jaded robot that is charged with protecting a crunchy space commune but would rather just watch pulpy soaps. “The real killer app of the story, adapted by Chris and Paul Weitz, is the snarky worldview of the artificial life form at […]

Kirkus: A gang of teens regroups to plan another heist—this time in Switzerland—in this sequel to Heiress Takes All (2024). A year after the events of the first novel, Olivia Owens plans a second job, this time at Volenvell Castle, the home of her extraordinarily wealthy grandmother, Leonie Owens, whom she hasn’t seen in years—not since Leonie broke off contact with Olivia’s father. The castle is located in the Swiss Alps, and Olivia has been invited there to celebrate Leonie’s […]

VERDICT Engaging, visceral, and a lot of […]
New York Times: “Like an endearing fantasy version of “Knives Out,” “The Tainted Cup” follows an eccentric detective named Ana Dolabra and her new assistant, Dinios Kol — a disaster bisexual if there ever was one…. A great murder mystery is hard to pull off but Bennett structures his perfectly, and the fact that it’s in a fantasy setting only makes it better.”
Bookpage: The grimdark wave of fantasy fiction went mainstream when Game of Thrones hit big on HBO, and now even casual readers of the subgenre can get bogged down in its conventions. Yes, morally gray characters, graphic violence and the cruelty of medieval Europe-style worlds are all rich storytelling veins, but they only get you so far, which means when an author comes along and seeks to reshape that darkness into something unique, it’s worth paying attention. With her latest […]
