The Salt-Black Tree [Dead Gods Heart Duology #2], by Lilith Saintcrow

4 of 5 stars. must be read in quick succession with the first book (you need to pretend they’re just one book, that’s the trick). Good conclusion to Nats journey.

4 out of 5 stars. Solid thriller with a cliche villain, suspenseful read.

4 out of 5 stars. A gripping mystery, well told, and two strong female leads.

Bleed More, Bodymore [Bodymore #1], by Ian Kilpatrick

3.5 out of 5. Tense atmosphere, interesting ideas about blending in mythology; but the female lead acts kinda stupid, making it hard to identify with her.

The Liar of Red Valley, by Walter Goodwater

5 out of 5 stars. Fascinating world and one of the finest plot twists I’ve read for quite some time.
