Bodies and Christ

American Rapture by C.J. Leede

This is My Body by Lindsay King-Miller

by Leave a Comment

Being back in grad school, I just do not have the time to read like I used to. However, last week on a retreat, I knocked out two religious horror books I had been meaning to read for a while and since they were both thematically similar, I figured I’d dump the reviews here. American Rapture This is juuuuust clearing the 4-star threshold, mostly because I liked C.J. Leede’s writing, even if her plotting and pacing could frustrate. I also get easily annoyed with survival […]

The End of the World As We Know It and Happy New Years

The Little Book of Cosmic Catastrophes (That Could End the World) by Sara Webb

by Leave a Comment

Full disclosure: this review is not of the first book I finished in 2025. Part of the reason for that is because it didn’t grab me as much as I’d hoped. In theory I figured it might be kind of funny to start off the new year with popular science book on the beginning and the ending of our universe, The Little Book of Cosmic Catastrophes (That Could End the World). Basically, it’s astronomy with some physics in relatively common language. The first section covers […]

With the earliest cannonball in the history of Kfishgirl, I shall review this disappointing book!

(Amy Larson & Hunter Forrest FBI #4) The Reaper Follows by Heather Graham

by 5 Comments

I think my earliest Cannonball in Kfishgirl history (before today) was October of last year. Prior to that I was usually still doing reviews on like December 31st and trying to get them all in. I would like to credit my reading accomplishments this year to hand surgery! I was off work for three weeks, and I think I read 11 books in those three weeks. They gave me a nice push to finish early. I guess since we’re not even at June yet I’ll […]

Medieval Armageddon

Between Two Fires by Christopher Buehlman

by Leave a Comment

This was…not the book I was expecting. I figured it would just be three people questing their way through medieval horror episodes. And it is that. The thing is: the horror is taking place during the bubonic plague, which has also apparently opened a portal to hell freeing the demons to do cosmic battle with the angels…hence the horrors on earth. Yeah this book is a lot. And it’s really good. The three main characters are cyphers for the larger story Christopher Buehlman is trying […]

Amy Larson & Hunter Forrest FBI series

Amy Larson & Hunter Forrest FBI #3 Shadow of Death by Heather Graham

Amy Larson & Hunter Forrest FBI #1 Danger in Numbers by Heather Graham

Amy Larson & Hunter Forrest FBI #2 Crimson Summer by Heather Graham

by Leave a Comment

I guess I’m back to my old tricks of starting a series at book number three! I don’t know how I do it, but I have a knack for starting at three. Not two, not four, but three. There are many times through the history of my CBRs where I started a series at three. I usually go back and start from one after finishing the third book though! Since this is book three, the duo of Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) agent Amy […]

World War Z, but with Robots

Robopocalypse by Daniel H. Wilson

by Leave a Comment

Hey, did you like Max Brooks’ novel World War Z ? Did you love the structure, the multitude of accounts woven together to form a much larger story of survival? Well, Robopocalypse by Daniel H. Wilson is a fun read but a weak substitute. In brief: sometime in the near future, a sentient AI has taken control of the worlds’ robots and has mostly wiped out humanity. This novel is a concentration of accounts that detail how humans fought back.  It’s only possible to avoid […]
