| Xpress Reviews WEB-FIRST REVIEWS OF BOOKS AND MEDIA  August Thomas's Liar’s Candle is one of two starred fiction titles this week. "Loading her [debut] novel with insider bits about embassy lore and ardent affection for Turkey’s wonders, Thomas writes with confident verve and a gift for expressive dialog." In nonfiction, Scott A. Shields's Richard Diebenkorn: Beginnings, 1942–1955, is "an accomplished bio of an exceptional, revered American master." Esteban Maroto's graphic novel Lovecraft: The Myth of Cthulhu is "satisfying for fans of the supernatural.... These tales come slithering forth as nightmarish phantoms from the fetid mind of a superior horror wordsmith and a visual interpreter par excellence." And in e-originals, Liz Lincoln's On the Line, the first title in the "Milwaukee Dragons" series, "sets up both the [football] team and a few key players sure to come up in future stories. Carrie and Seth are a steamy couple, and their attraction is both hot and adorable."
