In my review of The Other Half of the Grave last year, I said many things which are true here. Since the original Cat & Bones books in the Night Huntress series are all told in Cat’s point of view, we didn’t know as much about supernaturals or Bones in the originals. It was also the […]
T. Kingfisher is a favorite author of mine, but I primarily read her fantasy. A House With Good Bones is more horror-lite and southern gothic. It was both funny and a little bit creepy, until it was a lot a bit creepy. After this book, I will never look at vultures and roses in the […]
I remember how I really wanted to read this book and started it but had something come up and never got back to it. Somehow I also had the wrong impression of the age of the main character in the brief amount I read which was better once I actually read and knew more. That […]
What a ride! Hexed by Kevin Hearne is the second adventure in The Iron Druid Chronicles which follows Atticus O’Sullivan, the last iron druid, as he attempts to live a peaceful life in the hills of Arizona. This book picks up not long after the events of book one, Hounded, so there may be some minor spoilers to that […]
The Queen’s Price by Anne Bishop is the 12th book in The Black Jewels series. The original trilogy of this series is still my favorite, just be warned it probably includes just about any trigger you could possibly have. The rest of the books set in this world I’ve still enjoyed very much, some more […]
I loved the Crown of Shards trilogy. As with any urban fantasy or even other types of series, I prefer to read in order and have the full world building and character backgrounds. The first trilogy had the main character of Everleigh Blair, this next trilogy is about Gemma Ripley. Some of the things I […]
The Sinister Booksellers of Bath is the second book in the Left-Handed Booksellers series and picks up a few months after the events of the first book. Vivien, Merlin and Susan are again thrust together against some magical world beings fixated on Susan. The team will have to figure out why she is at the […]
Backpacking through Bedlam is the 12th book the Incryptid series, unless you are reading all the short stories as well, then I think it is closer to triple digits. You should read the entire series in order to really understand everything happening in this book, at minimum you will need to have read Spelunking Through Hell, […]
This is the second time that I have read Hounded by Kevin Hearne. The first time was a few years ago. I really enjoyed it when I read it and had intended to continue the series and then never really prioritized it. (Story of my life.) Anne’s Read-along of the Iron Druid Chronicles this […]
I love science fiction and space travel. I’m not sure if it is the technology which I love, or the fact that since it is so obviously fiction nothing seems over the top or unrealistic. Probably it is the perfect canvas of this type of setting for emotional themes, battles of greed, corruption, and social […]
