The Psy-Changeling Trinity the spin off series to Psy-Changeling. Overall, it is like one big series. I didn’t and wouldn’t read the later books without the foundation of the first series. Singh has a style which is a great blend of paranormal romance and urban fantasy. Each book has a romantic couple and we […]
I previously read Sterling but it’s been a hot second – or eleven years – and seeing as I want to continue on to the spinoff series, I jumped at the chance to do a re-read with COYER. As always, I’m grateful to buddy read (listen) with Anne and Berls! I’d forgotten much about the world of the […]
Elizabeth Hunter is an author I have enjoyed for more than a decade. She has many great series. Her world building is rich and her characters feel authentic. Although, with some of them it’s good they are fictional. Tin God is a crossover between two series, Elemental Covenant and Elemental Legacy, which is fun having […]
The entire Red Winter trilogy all in one great audiobook. This trilogy is steeped in Japanese culture and lore. It follows a young girl, Emi who has always known she would be a vessel for a goddess Amaterasu on earth one day and the sneaky fox she saved who has tricks up his sleeve and […]
I’m curious where the idea that the zombies could only eat brains came from. No other organs or body parts? Just brains? Well, first off, I’m definitely in the “zombies eat brains” camp as opposed to “zombies eat people/parts” simply because I’ve tended to classify “undead creatures who eat people/parts” as ghouls and not […]
In this second book in the InCrypid series, Verity is still in Manhattan. However, she learns that the Covenant is planning a purge of the city. The Covenant is a group of extremists who don’t believe this world belongs to any sentient creatures other than humans. They kill off any other creatures they come across. […]
Son of the Poison Rose is the second book in the Grimdark series, Kagen the Damned. Our story picks up soon after the events of the first book and the thwarted coronation of the Witch King. Kagen, Tuke and Filia are on the run and enemy number ones of the new Yellow Empire. They alone […]
Mulan is one of my favorite Disney movies so I looked forward to this retelling. Be forewarned The Night Ends with Fire is not the feel good version. The basics of the plot are similar. The details are much grittier and more misogynistic. This time period allows women nothing. Meilin is to be married off […]
I felt a little hesitant to start a longer book with fantasy themes often oppressive of some peoples. The pacing was good and with the character and world development at a reasonable amount of detail, I didn’t have trouble. Kosara was a great character. She was very relatable having her fears and desires. She was […]
I haven’t read much from Seanan McGuire under this pen name, but I’ve read everything she’s written under the Mira Grant pen name. Grant is a horror writer. I knew McGuire was not as dark of a writer as Grant, but I wasn’t expecting the humor I got in this story. This is a bit […]
