Dry is a dystopian ecological disaster story based a little in fact and a lot in what if. It loosely reminds me of one of those blockbuster movies like 2012 and San Andreas where some things are just a smidge too over the top but you let it go because that is the movie you […]
I have really enjoyed every book in the Beginner’s Guide to Necromancy series , and have been fortunate to listen to them all on audio. They are all on Kindle Unlimited including the next after How to Break an Undead Heart. So this review WILL contain spoilers, as I can’t review it without some for the earlier books […]
I might be late to the party in my praise of Sabaa Tahir’s debut novel An Ember in the Ashes, but seeing as the final and fourth book in the series is due out in January, this is the perfect time to get caught up! I discovered An Ember in the Ashes when it popped […]
An extended war with the use of wizards performing a variety of magic is the basis of this tale. Teado can’t remember a time when there wasn’t a war happening around him. It has been going on for almost all of his life and now in his twenties he is considered an old man among […]
So, I’m continuing my reread of Jenna Black’s Morgan Kingsley series. I still really enjoy this series. In The Devil’s Due, Morgan is approached by a well-to-do woman who asks Morgan to exorcise her son. This woman is sure her son didn’t agree to be possessed. He was a member of God’s Wrath, which is […]
The October Daye series has really grown on me and gotten better book by book. The characters are well thought out and complex, the plot lines all different and the dialogue is funny and smart. If you would have asked me at Rosemary and Rue (book 1), I wouldn’t have known if I’d make it to […]
Lament or I Fell in Love With a Millennia Old Assassin Sent to Kill Me, is not my favorite work by Stiefvater to be sure (That still remains the Raven Boys Series). I’m possibly just a little too old for this book and can’t suspend disbelief enough for a few of the tropes happening. But overall, […]
I started by getting audios from the Fred, The Vampire Accountant series at the library. Once I was current, I requested them for audio review. It’s a slow burn with Fred’s tales. They start so straightforward and then everything goes to hell. Deadly Assessments was quite suspenseful. The story was very focused on Fred, his vampire training, […]
ICYMI is a post from my early days of blogging at Yummy Men & KickAss Chicks. You can see the original review here. This was one of my favorite books of that year. It is currently (surprisingly) in the Audible Romance package. House Immortal is the first book in the new series by the same name […]
Excerpt ~ 1 ~ I crept up to the Valeria’s deck in the predawn dark to watch the sun rise. Though I felt safer, and smarter, keeping to the confines of my cabin, this one excursion had become a sort of habit. I clung to the small rituals, the basic routine I’d been able to […]
