Malin's Reviews:

It’s just so amazing, you guys. Why aren’t you ALL reading it?

April 25, 2014 by Malin 4 Comments

This trade paperback volume of Saga collects issues 13-18. It’s an ongoing series, and you really should be starting at the beginning. It’s also the best comic book/graphic novel series I’ve read in probably a decade, so if you haven’t read it, run to your nearest comics shop and come back when you’ve caught up. Also, it goes without saying that there may be spoilers here for earlier in the series. Marko’s mother has decided to join her son and his new family on their quest to find […]

A Victorian romance with depression, theft and blackmail attempts

April 23, 2014 by Malin 1 Comment

Disclaimer! I was granted an ARC of this from Pocket Books through NetGalley in return for a fair and honest review. I should also add that by the time I was granted the ARC, I’d already bought the book in pre-order, because with one horrible exception, she writes awesome books, and is on my automatic pre-order list. Once again, the cover image has little to nothing to do with the contents of the book, although the cover model is at least a redhead, like the heroine. I don’t think […]

So what do you do when the rock star you fancies moves into your home?

April 13, 2014 by Malin 2 Comments

Anne Rollins is having a really bad time of it. Her roommate ran off, owing Anne more than two months’ of back rent, taking quite a bit of the furniture with her. She needs money, and fast, or she won’t be able to keep her little sister in college. She reluctantly accompanies her next door neighbour Lauren to a party at Lauren’s best friend’s, who just happens to be recently married to David Ferris, the guitarist in world famous rock band Stage Dive (see the […]

A lot of things can change in six months

April 12, 2014 by Malin 3 Comments

3.5 stars Again, this is a book that I don’t actually want to post about here, because if you haven’t read the previous 12 books in the series, it’s probably best if you know as little as possible about what this book is about. If you have read the previous 12, and this book, and want my take on it, feel free to check my thought over on my blog. I promise I’ll start posting actual reviews here real soon.

The one where Jim Butcher turns things up to 11

April 12, 2014 by Malin 5 Comments

Seriously, I don’t even want to say anything about the book here, for fear of spoiling things. I’m not going to put a picture of the cover, I’m just going to say that the book completely blew me away. I kept being amazed at the things Butcher put poor Harry through in this book, and just the lengths to which he went to completely turn everything that had gone before on its head in this book. If you have read the book, and are curious […]

There’s a monster in the woods that tears people’s hearts out

April 12, 2014 by Malin Leave a Comment

Rowan Rose lives in the little village of Nag’s End with her father. Like her father, an experienced scholar, Rowan enjoys assisting him with translations and is proud of her achievements. Five soldiers ride through the village on their way up the mountain, and some days later, are found horribly killed by the men of the village. In a journal left by one of the soldiers are the words: “It’s starting.”. The elders of Nag’s End declare the deaths the result of an animal attack, but not […]
