Asil the Great and Powerful

Blind Date with A Werewolf by Patricia Briggs

November 25, 2025 by finnyfinfinn Leave a Comment

In which we find out what happens when the most legendary (in his own mind) werewolf in all the land is set up on a series of blind dates. Asil is perfectly content living a reclusive life tending to his flowers. When a Concerned Friend sends him an e-mail informing him that he has been set up on five dates through various websites over the next three weeks, Asil takes it in stride. Who wouldn’t want to spend a delightful evening with all of his […]

I Love October

Silver And Lead by Seanan McGuire

October 22, 2025 by finnyfinfinn Leave a Comment

Toby life hack #19- no one can tell if you’ve gotten covered in blood again if you’re already covered in blood! Life has been pretty uneventful since the end of Titania’s hijacking of faerie reality. Everyone’s just quietly trying to get over their well earned PTSD. Toby herself is about two weeks from giving birth and has been sitting at home enjoying the pampering that Tybalt and her housemates have been smothering her with without going insane at all… Hahahahaha yeah she’s about ten seconds […]

Losers, Misfits, and Boozers

Slow Horses by Mick Herron

October 20, 2025 by finnyfinfinn Leave a Comment

Since I’m being cruelly tortured by being forced to wait a whole long week between episodes for the new season I’ve decided to go back and read the first book in the Slough House series. I’m sure waiting patiently is part of MI5 spy training, probably real advanced stuff. It is here we first meet Jackson Lamb and his motley collection of ‘slow horses’. Each one has disgraced themselves in some spectacular way and needs to be relegated somewhere they can’t do any more damage […]

Revenge on a Train

With A Vengeance by Riley Sager

September 3, 2025 by finnyfinfinn Leave a Comment

Before embarking on a journey of revenge, dig a lot of graves. More graves than you expect to need and then maybe one more for good luck. You just never know how many you might need to achieve it. Stay flexible. Anna Matheson lost her entire family due to the actions of six people. She’s spent the last twelve years plotting their downfall, culminating in a twelve hour train ride from Philadelphia to Chicago. She’ll confront them with their crimes and then hand them to […]

The One Where the Gang Heads to Scotland

Stone & Sky by Ben Aaronovitch

August 15, 2025 by finnyfinfinn 2 Comments

I zipped through the Rivers of London series last summer and loved it. Then while browsing through the library I found the newest book 10! A very merry un-birthday to me! Our old friend Peter Grant is no longer the wide-eyed little copper we first met. He’s grown into the Starling, an apprentice of the Nightingale but definitely a power in his own right. He’s still with his lovely wife, the river Beverly, and with the two year time jump since the last novel the […]
