I was sent Life and Limb by the publisher in print, then requested the eARC since that is easier for me to read. The blurb noted it as a modern western fantasy series. I liked the sound of it and the mythology. However, it wasn’t clear to me that it is about angels versus demons […]
I have been waiting for this forever, for the Luidaeg to call in all of Toby’s debts and it FINALLY happened. The day of reckoning for the Selkies has come and their mother has called the time, place and price that will be demanded of them. The time is neigh, the place is the Duchy […]
Finder may not be the first book in a series but I had sort of first book syndrome. The first half had me struggling to put it all together and then it was off like a bullet to the end! I did really enjoy it then. There are many things to like. The world 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 […]
I can’t believe I’m on my last Jig story. This has been a really fun fantasy series. It follows Jig the goblin, who is a runt and half blind. He isn’t looked highly upon by his fellow goblins. Jig has learned how to hide and to be cunning it when it comes to dealing with […]
Rose Marshall is far from sweet sixteen and never been kissed. She has been sixteen for over 60 years now, so kissing is the least of it. She is the phantom prom date, the girl in the green silk gown and depending on which ghost story you are listening to, she is either a protector […]
Sparrow Hill Road is a bit disjointed. Now I’m not sure if that is literary genius because the main character is a ghost and so her life/afterlife IS a little disjointed time-wise or because that is just the nature of this collection of stories. Rose is dead and she has been for about sixty years […]
A Spoonful of Magic looked fun with cooking and magic. I did enjoy those aspects. The start was just so sloooooow, so much data and so little information. The world-building felt like mountains of details with no knowledge to be gained. Daffy is the main character and when she got clued in to the situations, […]
The thing I really like about Seanan McGuire is – she is different. I might not always be completely into everything she is writing, but as an author I think she takes chances and delves into topics other authors shy away from. For instance, in this book alone, there are Ghosts of various shapes […]
