Book Review: Precious Children, by Mary G. Thompson

/

I was really impressed by Mary G. Thompson’s dystopic science fiction novel last year, One Level Down. Her new SF novel, Precious Children, shows that she is full of interesting ideas and can explore and execute them really well. I look forward to seeing more from her in the future! From the publisher’s description: A wealthy family trying to cheat death is overmatched—by a stubborn teenager hiding in a body that looks like their son. In this taut tale of genetics and entitlement, nature vs. nurture goes horrifyingly wrong.

Book Review: The Night Pool, by Lauren Lee Smith

/

The Night Pool is a book that’s full of brutality and horror, with the supernatural elements basically secondary to the tragedies and traumas mostly inflicted by white men during the Gold Rush in Conoma, California. Bringing light through this darkness are the female characters who reach out across ethno-cultural divides to support each other in sisterhood. In the end, there is comfort and strength to be found in this novel, despite the sad and terrible things that happen and that are done.
