The Heirs of Chicagoland series has come to a close with Cold Curses. I would read the series in order, like most urban fantasy. I’ve really enjoyed the next generation making their lives and fighting for Chicago with old and new foes. Elisa and Connor are settled and very comfortable in their relationship. They support […]
The Hunting Moon is the second book of The Luminaries series, following one of the Luminaries on her journey to restore her family name and not get killed in a Forrest full of magical creatures her family has been fighting for generations. Winnie Wednesday is an expert at not doing what is expected of her […]
The Olympian Affair is the second book in the Cinder Spires series. It is eight years since we got The Aeronaut’s Windlass so I reread it in September to prepare for this release. I did the reread on audio, where my initial read was in paperback. Based on the reread, I decided to read the […]
Besieged is a large collection and after Staked I wasn’t quite ready to leave this world or wait for the next audiobook, so I decided to download this collection. Brilliant, funny, sad, and interesting, I delighted in these tales shared around a campfire. Atticus, Granuaile, and Oberon are enjoying a quiet evening around the campfire at their […]
Better Watch Out is a novella set in the world of Transplanted Tales and could be considered the 6th book of the series. Set as Christmas time, this is a fun look at Seth and Lavender’s life after settling down and having a little one of their own. Christmas is almost here and some of the […]
I am excited to have a new series from Benedict Jacka! I read a bit about the magic on his website before reading the book. It was short reading and gave me a bit more of a foundation for the story. I like the main character, Stephen, who has some long-time friends but really no […]
The Innocent Sleep is the 18th book in the October Daye series. Told from Tybalt’s PoV, we get to experience the events in the same timeline as book 17 from the other group of characters working to free those captured in Titania’s illusion. While the shift in PoV took a little time to become accustomed […]
The Unorthodox Chronicles series is written by Jim Butcher’s son, James. As with most urban fantasy, each book further develops the world and characters so I would read them in order. Often when starting a series, I am just trying to understand how everything works. Now I wanted to see what the story would be […]
Three druids. Three adventures. Three magical fae stakes. But all roads lead to Rome. The Iron Druid Chronicles series plot is drawing in tighter and more intense as Atticus and his allies are aligning against Loki and those who have sided him when, in the near future, the crazy god unleashes Ragnarok on earth […]
This may be my favorite of the Iron Druid Chronicles we’ve read thus far! Plot wise it was very satisfying in that we made significant advancement and even had a BIG question answered finally. But for me, I think it was the characters – new and old – that made Shattered so satisfying. Note: […]
