Night of the Soul Stealer

Night of the Soul Stealer by Joseph Delaney

by Leave a Comment

I finally got back to “The Last Apprentice” series. Yes, I am just drowning myself in fantasy novels right now because the United States has become a hellscape. This is the third book in the series, and Tom Ward has been with the Spook for about a year at this point. Tom, the Spook, and Alice have grown comfortable together (or slightly) until the Spook tells him that they need to travel to his winter home in Anglezarke and that Alice needs to stay with […]

Updated review from February 1, 2025 Trigger warning: Suicide I received this book from NetGalley, which did not affect my rating or review. Just to make sure people know, I read this back in 2021. I went and re-read a ton of Cleeves back-list. I do feel disappointed I could not continue with her Palmer-Jones series. I really enjoyed it, but most of the books are not available unless they are in paperback somewhere. The Inspector Ramsay series is in my opinion very good. In […]

Something in the Walls by Daisy Pearce

Please note that I received this book via NetGalley. This did not affect my rating or review.  I really wish I could have gotten into this one more, but it was such a slow book and it just kept taking me out of it that nowhere was anything mentioned about the time period we were in. I of course noted it had to be the late 80s or early 90s due to the mention of walk-mans and the Ninja freaking Turtles, but it was driving […]

Luck Be a Lady by Meredith Duran

Luck Be a Lady by Meredith Duran

This was a great romance buddy read! I loved it from beginning to end. I really do need to read more of Duran’s backlist when I get a chance. This is the third book of hers I have done a buddy read on and she’s a great writer. “Lucky Be a Lady” follows Catherine Everleigh. Catherine is an heiress with a problem. If she doesn’t marry, she will end up losing her half of her family’s auction house. Her brother is threatening to force her […]
