Malin's Reviews:

The problem with a really excellent liar is that you have to just assume they are always lying

This is book 3 of a trilogy. This review, and even the book summary, is likely to contain spoilers for previous books in the series. Skip this until you’re caught up. This is book 3 of a trilogy. This review, and even the book summary, is likely to contain spoilers for previous books in the series. Skip this until you’re caught up.

If people could murder you with a touch, you’d probably want them to wear gloves too

September 19, 2015 by Malin Leave a Comment

This is the second book in a trilogy, and as such not the best place to start. This review will contain some spoilers for book one, because it’s impossible to write about this book without talking about things that were revealed in the first one. So if you are new to these Holly Black books, go find White Cat – that’s where to begin the trilogy. Cassel Sharpe lives in a world where a select percentage of the population have certain gifts. People who, if […]

In which McGuire introduces a whole new faerie kingdom Toby can be nearly killed in

September 14, 2015 by Malin Leave a Comment

This is book 9 in the October Daye series. Standard disclaimers about spoilers if you’re not caught up. Book one, Rosemary and Rue, is the place to start if this series is entirely new to you. It’s also the September 2015 pick for the Vaginal Fantasy book club. Just as October “Toby” Daye, changeling knight and hero of multiple faerie kingdoms seems to be catching a break, having things go her way for a change, there are unexpected developments in the court of queen Arden […]

September 13, 2015 by Malin Leave a Comment

Like their friends Mia and Ansel, Harlow Vega and Finn Roberts had a wild, unforgettable night together in Vegas, where they drunkenly got married. Unlike their friends, Harlow and Finn got an annulment the very next morning. While the sex was amazing, neither of them are entirely sure they even like each other. With the exception of a brief impulsive weekend, when Harlow turned up at Finn’s house in Canada wearing nothing but a trench coat, where they spent their whole time together hooking up, […]
