Accidentally Scandalous

Half A Soul by Olivia Atwater

by Leave a Comment

Was I expecting to read the most spot on description of depression I’ve ever seen in a frothy regency faerie tale? I most certainly was not, but I loved it. Theodora Ettings lost half of her soul as a child to a vengeful fairy who had made a bargain with her mother. She is now drifting through her days with only half the amount of feelings that she should have. Having very little sense of embarrassment or fear is quite the drawback for a young […]

What kind of pastry are you?

The Teller of Small Fortunes by Julie Leong

by 3 Comments

It’s cold outside my friends. Let’s snuggle up under the covers with a cup of something warm and this lovely cozy fantasy. I think I’d be a simple chocolate brownie, super sweet and delightfully squishy. Tao is a traveling fortune teller, drifting from village to village in a wagon pulled by her trusty mule Laohu. It’s a solitary life made less lonely when a small fortune causes a former thief and an ex-mercenary to join her in her travels as they search for a lost […]

A Masterclass In Gaslighting

I Need You To Read This by Jessa Maxwell

by Leave a Comment

Kudos to Maxwell for creating such an intensely uneasy atmosphere. Halfway through I was convinced most of the characters were imaginary, maybe the events happening weren’t happening, am I even reading this book? By the time I was about to roar through the last 100 pages I was questioning whether I was imaginary. We begin with the brutal murder of beloved advice columnist Francis Keen. Less than a year later the crime remains unsolved but her position as the beloved ‘Dear Constance’ writer needs to […]

Netflix Vibes

Breaking The Dark by Lisa Jewell

by Leave a Comment

This is apparently the first in a series of Marvel adult crime thrillers. I was just glad to spend some time picturing Krysten Ritter as Jessica Jones again. Bring her back Marvel! In true Jessica Jones fashion, our friend is not doing so great. She spends her days fighting a killer hangover and solving crimes in New York City, One morning a wealthy mother comes to her door asking for Jessica’s help. She’s convinced something strange happened to her teenage twins when they were visiting […]

Return to Massacre Manor

Apprentice To The Villain by Hannah Nicole Maehrer

by 4 Comments

I ended last year’s Cannonball with Assistant to the Villain so I think it’s quite appropriate that my hold for the second book in this fabulous series came in just in time for this one. I’ll try to keep it as non-spoilery as possible but get ready for more wacky hijinks! Now having said that the first book did end on a big ol cliffhanger that really almost killed me having to wait a whole year to find out what happens. You’ll be pleased to […]

Marvel Fatigue?

What If… Wanda Maximoff and Peter Parker were Siblings? by Seanan McGuire

by Leave a Comment

I don’t know her.  Marvel has had me in their grip since I was a little smidge reading Power Pack. I’ve seen every movie and show except, ironically, the animated What If… series. I might have to rectify that now. When I saw Seanan McGuire was the author. I could not resist. She knows Marvel and most especially the Spiderverse. The story basically flows right from the title. We meet Wanda as a young adult wishing to join the Avengers, and then spin back in […]
