The Fall Risk by Abby Jimenez

The Fall Risk by Abby Jimenez

by Leave a Comment

Honestly this is mostly a 3.5 star read, but I loved the interactions between Charlotte and Seth. I agree with my friend Sam, thought the ending was a big old eh frankly with regards to the stalking subplot. “The Fall Risk” follows Charlotte and Seth. Stairs are removed from their apartment complex so they are both stuck until the following week when the stairs will be reinstalled. Charlotte is dealing with having to move multiple times because of a stalker. Seth is getting over being […]

The Bookstore Keepers by Alice Hoffman

I don’t know if this is going to be the last book in Hoffman’s series, but this felt like a very weird note to end things on. I have loved the magical realism of the other books, but this one was kind of not hitting it for me. And I think it’s because of a common thing that often happens in romance books which I think is going to set off some readers. No spoilers, but I was just disappointed by it. “The Bookstore Keepers” […]

Slither by Joseph Delaney

I finished Slither around 2 am today and honestly this was just not good. You know all the ways that made “I Am Grimalkin” so fantastic? Totally missing here. It doesn’t help that even though she shows up, we don’t get her POV which maybe would have helped. Instead we stay in the head of Slither (a terrible character) and Nessa (an oldest daughter forced to have to deal with the fact her father sold her into slavery and certain death). Also there is way […]

Exposure by Ramona Emerson

What a bummer, the first book had such an excellent premise and I think that Emerson wanted to have her cake and eat it too with this one. I think that Rita should have been the sole focus of this second book and instead seemed to be stuffed into it and it just didn’t work. “Exposure” follows Rita after the events of the last book. Rita, still a forensic photographer is dealing with the fallout of everyone knowing she sees ghosts. And using what she […]

The Lure of the Dead by Joseph Delaney

The Lure of the Dead by Joseph Delaney

Well well well. I knew certain people were full of it, and this book shows us who they are. At this point all is revealed to Tom and he is left with a terrible choice. He either lets the Fiend bring the dark (and honestly who cares at this point) or he has to kill someone he loves to stop him forever. This whole book was just the Spook being shown he is not up to the task of being the Spook and things more […]

Grimalkin the Witch Assassin by Joseph Delaney

Grimalkin the Witch Assassin by Joseph Delaney

by Leave a Comment

Wow. Just wow. This honestly is the best book I have read in the series and it is now my favorite. This book had everything and even at one point had me in tears. I loved the insight it gave us to Grimalkin, why she was so focused on destroying the Fiend, and what it means to her to be a witch assassin. “Grimalkin the Witch Assassin” is told in the POV of Grimalkin. Each chapter has her talking to someone (you quickly find out […]
