I’m working my way through T. Kingfishers entire catalog and picked up Sumer in Orcas when it was a kindle deal. I’ve enjoyed every story by her that I have read so far and Summer In Orcas is continuing that trend. A portal fantasy in the same vein as Narnia but with a little extra […]
A half vampire-half witch grows up in the unique town of paranormals hiding in plain sight, but she’s ready to see the big world out there. Meanwhile a werewolf whose existence has been long and rather lonely hiding out among the humans catches sight of a woman who makes even his wolf side sit up […]
I chose the series after reading the first book as part of COYER book club. Berls and I are doing our Series in a Month as a buddy read. I enjoyed this short setup for the series. Kill Joy introduces the group of friends as they play a murder mystery type game. Pip isn’t […]
After over a year delving into The Sectors series world and wrapping up the last of the released stories in that series, I was not utterly depressed like I get when favorite series are over because I was well aware this spinoff series, Sectors New Allies awaited me. Set in the same sci-fi world, but […]
The purpose of Thrifty Thursday is to read a book which was free (at some point). This is a genre which many of my team have read and reviewed books. In fact, I think all of them have read these authors more than me. I have collected quite a pile of freebies in this genre […]

For those who are not familiar with this series, The Innkeeper Chronicles is written by Ilona Andrews, first on their blog with a chapter posted each week. Once the book is complete, they post it as an ebook and an audiobook. I’m not sure I have those details exactly right, but they are close enough. […]
The Kaiju Preservation Society was a really fun stand alone novel for all of us who have loved monster movies over the years. In an earth dimension, next to the one we have, there is another track of evolution that happened leading to a world with no people and the main apex predator is basically […]
Having read the entire Iron Druid Chronicles before, this is my second time listening to Hammered. While I don’t give away any spoilers, I will note that my feelings about this one were definitely altered having listened to it and the entire series previously. That said, I actually enjoyed Hammered more this time around. Making good on his promise […]
Trigger Warnings: suicide, drug use, satanism, AIDS I remember reading Go Ask Alice by Anonymous, the “real” diary of a teenage girl in the seventies who got into drugs, when I was a kid. I can’t remember how old I was, but I remember reading it. I also read Jay’s Journal, a boy’s journal where […]
