Genre Wench: Review Policy
http://genrewench.blogspot.com/p/review-policy.html
Reviews of and information about mystery, fantasy, sci-fi and paranormal books. Spoilers are always a possibility. I am interested in reviewing any books in the mystery, science fiction, fantasy or horror category. My only restriction is that the horror cannot be over the top gory. No splatter punk or slasher novels. Generally I prefer psychological horror to the bloody kind. I am not interested in reviewing self published books. I am not able to review ebooks at this time.

Some of you might know that I'm a TrekNerd (I avoid the whole Trekkie/Trekker fight). I don't take myself too seriously. One of my all time favorite movies is Galaxy Quest. I looked forward to reading Redshirts. By John Scalzi from the moment I first heard about it. For the most part, I was not disappointed. For those of you who are not Star Trek. Links to this post.

Reviews of and information about mystery, fantasy, sci-fi and paranormal books. Spoilers are always a possibility. Friday, August 31, 2012. By Rob Thurman is the first book in a new series. This book is part mystery, part paranormal thriller. There's a lot of action that takes place in a short amount of time. I have only one quibble with the meaning of the word massacre but that didn't stop me from enjoying the book. I'm looking forward to the next book in the series. I received a review copy of this book.

By Leena Lehtolainen is another book I read in translation that left me feeling like it would have been better in the original language. The cover says it is supposed to be a "thriller" but I didn't find it that thrilling. It just seemed like a regular police procedural mystery. I received a review copy of this book. Some Of My Favorite Authors. Simon R. Green.

Is the first book in the Vampire Hunters Trilogy by Scott M. Baker. You won't find any cuddly, sparkly vampires in this book. These vampires are monsters. It's a decent story. Nice to see vampires as evil again. It's also interesting to see the heroes dealing with the aftermath of fighting vampires in a world that doesn't believe they exist. Links to this post.

If you were a teenager in the 1980s you'll smile, chuckle and maybe laugh out loud. You might even get an earworm or two. If you weren't lucky enough to be alive in the 80s you can still find something interesting in this book. If you're into audio books, the Ready Player One: Audio Version. Is read by Wil Wheaton.
