4 stars out of 5: All in all, “Bone Machine” is one of those rare books in which the quality of the ideas out-paces the quality of the writing. There are a lot of really interesting things implied...

Peacock Flock Book Review #12 Mad Science Institute Author: Sechin Tower Length: ~ 148 pages Genre: Science Fiction Heat level: Clean Stars:3.5 Somewhere Between Stars Review: This was a great read. The plot was interesting and we liked the world that had some science but wasn't an extremely involved having to look up words all the time in the dictionary kind of science-fiction. There were definitely some great moments where we laughed and many times where we really wanted to know what ... read more »

Peacock Flock Book Review #11 The Last Enchantment Author: Meg Alexander Length: ~ 298 pages Genre: Historical Romance Heat level: Clean Stars:4 Stupendous Purple Stars Review: We read this book in a little over 24 hours. It's quite a good little romance. Both the heroine and the hero were well developed and unlike many books where there isn't a lot of scenes between the two main characters the wonderful Duke (the main man) is teasing, admonishing or laughing with the heroine, Aurelia, eve... read more »
3 stars out of 5: A well-meaning book with its heart in the right place, but with some tragic missteps in execution that will deter some audiences. Readers who are already sympathetic to the...

4 Stars out of 5: A great book to read slowly and meditate over, and maybe read again.

Peacock Flock Book Review #9 Golden Author: Cameron Dokey Length: ~ 179 pages Genre: Fantasy (Fairy-tale retelling) Heat level: Clean Stars:3.5 Somewhere Between Stars Review: So we were presently surprised with this book. It's a retelling of Rapunzel. Despite the fact that it's by the same author as a number of books in this series that we didn't like, this was interesting and had enough in the plot to keep us reading. (Although we must admit that Tangled is by far the best adapt... read more »
** Sorry this is a couple of days late, I was the Maid of Honour for my sister's wedding this past weekend. Y'all know how that goes sometimes. Cheers.Imean, the uh peacock flock had to chow down on some wedding cake, so (cough, cough) they couldn't write the review. :P Peacock Flock Book Review #8 Snow Author: Tracy Lynn Length: ~ 259 pages Genre: Fantasy (Fairy-tale retelling) Heat level: Clean Stars:2.5 Somewhere Between Stars Review: So we don't think we'll ever pick it up ag... read more »
Peacock Flock Book Review #7 Beauty Sleep Author: Cameron Dokey Length: ~ 186 pages Genre: Fantasy (Fairy-tale retelling) Heat level: Clean Stars:2.5 Somewhere Between Stars Review: So it wasn't great. It's a retelling of Sleeping Beauty. We didn't like not knowing who the main romantic interest was going to be. A love triangle is fine. But make it clear that she's got to choose between them. When the reader has no idea what's going on in her head? Yeah not good. Plus there were a lot... read more »
