Robin and I discussed our ideas and I am paraphrasing them. I couldn’t have done this without her. I really needed to talk things out because there were some confusing aspects. The Soulwood series is urban fantasy so I would definitely read these in order to not be lost. We debated about whether one needs to […]
The Beast’s Heart is a Beauty and the Beast retelling from the Beast’s point of view. I am uncertain if I have read one with only the Beast perspective. I know I have had the female one and a dual. It’s a great story in modern or historical setting; it’s magic. The setting here is […]
There will be spoilers for Fated – book 1 below. If you know answers to my questions, please do not answer them in the comments since I will be reading this series as we go along and don’t want to be spoiled! I enjoyed the world building, the mystery plot and getting to […]
I chose this series because it is my favorite genre – urban fantasy and I have not read it. I wanted a new-to-me series with 8-12 books. These are available at both of my libraries, in both ebook and audio formats. They are also rather reasonable to purchase in either format. Some of the […]
My impression about The Reburialists was totally wrong. I was thinking it was fantasy and the world building would be overwhelming and heavy with details; it would be grim and dark. Not so much. It is urban fantasy and was easy to read. I happily read along, learning the characters and following the plot. This […]
I’ve been reading and enjoying The Invisible Library series since the beginning. The world-building is almost a fresh start in each book since Irene travels. She has been assigned a home world where she lives and has some regular friends and frenemies. There are a few Library characters who are around throughout the series. There’s a long-time […]
I wanted to read Phoenix Unbound from the first I heard about it. The fantasy romance genre made me surprised by how grim dark it was. It felt much more heavy on fantasy with little focus on the romance. I read fantasy so this didn’t bother me, especially with the well-developed characters and the rich […]
Book 10: Magic Triumphs Robin and I both read Magic Triumphs and also listened to the audio version. Robin was on the beta team. I was fortunate to get an eARC and we both received the audio for review. It is hard to do such an amazing book justice. I’ve said many times how it […]
Before we begin, just a reminder this post and its comments may include spoilers for the previous books in Ilona Andrew’s Kate Daniels series. This read-along is for those who have read the books previously and also for those who are new to the series, so please no spoilers for books beyond the one […]
The Raven’s Mark series is what I call grimdark. This means there is violence, battles, blood and death. The good times are getting drunk, killing the enemy or winning the battle. Well, there is also loyalty to friends and causes, protecting friends, women and children. The world is full of magic and those trying to […]
