kdm's Reviews:

Are you afraid of the dark (fairies)?

July 23, 2015 by kdm Leave a Comment

I picked up the latest YA release by Holly Black after realizing that this is same author who wrote “The Coldest Girl in Coldtown”, which I thought was a really fun twist on a traditional vampire story, thankfully having nothing to do with sparkling.  This time, Black gives us a modern-day fairy tale, full of relatable teen characters mixed with beautiful, cruel fairies and other terrifying creatures. The story starts at a small town party, just your average group of teens drinking and dancing and […]

Grey is the dullest colour.

July 1, 2015 by kdm 7 Comments

Ugh. I feel dirty. And not in the “oh baby, I’m a dirty girl” way that I’m sure E.L. James wants me to feel, but in an unclean, “Oh God, I can’t believe I actually read this trash” kind of way. But I am a firm believer in the idea that you have to know something to really be able to make fun of it, and so, to my everlasting shame, I have read all three 50 Shades books, and now this reborquel garbage. For […]

I Wanna Marry Freddie…

April 24, 2015 by kdm 5 Comments

(I know, I know.  I’ve been slacking on my CBR duties, mostly due to a crippling fear of being unable to live up to anything I wrote about gay billionaire jet planes. But hopefully this will get me back in the swing of things!)  Full disclosure: I have been a Go Fug Yourself super-fan for years, so obviously the first novel for adults penned by the authors of the site, Heather Cocks and Jessica Morgan, was always going to be right up my alley.  Especially when […]

Who knew that there was a market for gay airplane erotica?

February 11, 2015 by kdm 30 Comments

I can’t believe this is how I am starting my very first Cannonball Read.  I feel like my next review will have to be “War and Peace” for you guys to actually take me seriously.  In Russian, obviously. But before I pretend to be all respectable and stuff, let’s dive into some gay plane sex!  Shout out to Patty Smith for loaning me the book, and getting this whole mess started. Honestly, I was tempted to just post excerpts from the book with insightful comments […]
