4.5 stars This is book three in a series. This review will contain spoilers for previous books in the series, so if you mind that sort of thing, skip this, and start at the beginning, with Dead Witch Walking. Never one to live a quiet life, Rachel Morgan, independent witch for hire is in trouble. She successfully took down the master vampire who was summoning demons to murder leyline witches and lived to tell the tale. She had to bargain with a demon in order […]
Chasing serial killers in Cincinnati
4.5 stars This is book 2 in a series. You’d be better off starting with Dead Witch Walking. Rachel Morgan has successfully paid off the IS death threat and is in her third month of working as an independent runner. She still doesn’t have a car, however, and hates relying on public transport or rides from friends to get around. She’s also struggling to pay her bills from month to month, so when a werewolf pack refuses to pay her for snatching their pet fish […]
A witch, a vampire and a pixie walk into a bar
Rachel Morgan is an earth witch (which means she uses wooden charms activated with drops of her own blood to do magic, as opposed to layline witches who draw their power from laylines) and works for the IS (Inderland Security), a police force consisting of supernaturals like witches, living vampires, werewolves, fairies and pixies. They police the supernatural crimes, while the FIB (Federal Inderland Bureau) is its mundane, human counterpart. For the last year, Rachel has had a run of truly awful assignments and what […]
“We’re of one mind, Grenville and I, and the mind is hers, on account of my being a man and not having one.”
Another re-read of one of my all-time favourites, once again narrated by the excellent Kate Reading. Vere Mallory becomes the Duke of Ainswood after pretty much every other male in his family line dies, including several family members he cared deeply for, and he’s quite happy to drink and debauch himself into an early grave so the accursed title can’t take anyone else, thank you very much. An endless existence of carousing gets tedious after a while, though, and once he crosses paths with Miss […]
“I was maybe the only person to ever have his imaginary friend made real.”
3.5 stars English teenage boy James “Jamie” (although he really would prefer it if you didn’t call him that, even if NO ONE seems to listen to him) Watson has been given a scholarship to a preppy boarding school in Connecticut, not far away from where his father lives with his new family. He’s rather excited about the chance to meet another of the students there, though, the already famous Charlotte Holmes. James and Charlotte’s great-great-great-grandfathers were one of the most famous pairings in history, […]
Don’t expect a happy ending to this one
Spoiler warning! I found it impossible to review this book without revealing plot details that would probably be considered spoilery, so if you like to start a book without knowing much, probably skip this review. Also, this book is a PREQUEL, best read after you finish the full thirteen book series by Kim Harrison. As of me writing this, the first book is on sale for $2.99. In a world where humans are the dominant species, they are fully unaware that there are a number […]
