REVIEW: State of the Heart by Haider Warraich
[image error]
In State of the Heart, Dr. Haider Warraich takes readers inside the ER, inside patients’ rooms, and inside the history and science of cardiac disease.
State of the Heart traces the entire arc of the heart, from the very first time it was depicted on stone tablets, to a future in which it may very well become redundant. While heart disease has been around for a while, the type of heart disease people have, why they have it, and how it’s treated is changing. Yet, the golden age of heart scienc...

REVIEW: Gods of Jade and Shadow by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
Please note: The following review contains some spoilers.
Dear Ms. Moreno-Garcia,
It was the setting of your new fantasy novel, Gods of Jade and Shadow, that first caught my attention. I had never read a book set in 1920s Mexico before. This one also promised to feature a young woman on a quest with a Mayan God, and that sounded good too, so I took a risk and did something I rarely do: requested an ARC of a novel by an author whose books I had never read before.
