Goodreads review for the lazy (hint.. I’m the lazy): “As the lead singer of Stage Dive, Jimmy is used to getting whatever he wants, whenever he wants it, whether it’s booze, drugs, or women. However, when a PR disaster serves as a wake-up call about his life and lands him in rehab, he finds himself with Lena, a new assistant to keep him out of trouble. Lena’s not willing to take any crap from the sexy rocker and is determined to keep their relationship completely […]
“It didn’t matter where you were, if you were in a room full of books you were at least halfway home.”
The Magician’s Land is an exciting and satisfying end to a trilogy that had its ups and downs, but was nevertheless entertaining and always delivered on complex characters. Not to draw too clear of a parallel between the main character, Quentin, and the author here — because I’m sure Lev Grossman is not, and never was, the little shit that Quentin started out as — but I genuinely feel that there is some symmetry between the quality and goal of each of the books and […]
omg omg omg
What with the visibility of this series lately, I don’t feel that I need to do a lengthy plot recap here — anyone reading this review probably has already read Outlander, or they have a good idea of what it’s about. I’ve had the intention to read it for some time, but spurred by the TV series, I finally dug in and — wow. I completely understand the obsession. Briefest of summaries JUST IN CASE: Claire Randall is a married woman of the 1940’s who […]
Riding on my last nerve
Larissa Ione’s Lords of Deliverance series is a spinoff of her fairly popular Demonica series, which was uneven but I found enjoyable as a whole. As in that series, LoD’s strengths lie in very interesting worldbuilding and a strong over-arching plotline that ties the standalone novels together. The romances, however, are derivative, with the characters so similar to each other, and the love scenes are also all written so very similarly, that they all become a sweaty, thrusty, moany, roaring blur. Also, this series had A REALLY AWFUL THING, […]
Nowhere Story
I truthfully don’t know how to write a review about a book like this. On the one hand, I feel compelled to defend my intellectual capacity to analyze literature, but on the other hand, I kind of just want to admit that I don’t get it. On the surface, there’s not that much to “get.” Nowhere Man is comprised of several stories at different times from different viewpoints that all describe the life of Josef Pronek, a Bosnian ex-pat who moves to Chicago in his third or […]
“Does it matter? Your age?” “It does indeed. A bit.”
Poor Genevieve Eversea. She’s in love with a simple prat, or so she thinks, because she’s “loved” him since childhood and that naive imagining of love is all she knows. Luckily for her, her brother Ian is also a prat, and a particular indiscretion of his leaves one Duke, Alex Moncrieffe, without a betrothed and with the Eversea family on his radar. Having a vengeful Duke set his sights upon you or your family could so easily be the set-up of a thriller or tale […]
