A witch and a witch-hunter, sitting in a tree . . .

Boss Witch (Fix-It Witches, #2) by Ann Aguirre

June 27, 2022 by narfna 2 Comments

30 Books in 30 Days, Vol. 2 Book 21/30 Thanks to NetGalley and Dreamscape Media for the audio ARC. It hasn’t affected the content of my review. I liked this better than the first one! By quite a bit. The romance was very nice. I liked both Clem and Gavin, and thought they had lovely chemistry. The book really took off though when the non-romantic plot got going. I’m glad to say that the fact that Gavin is a witch hunter is not wasted, at […]

This was fine.

Love at First by Kate Clayborn

June 27, 2022 by narfna Leave a Comment

30 Books in 30 Days, Vol. 2 Book 20/30 Will I be able to meet 250 words on this review with this level of enthusiasm? “This was fine” is not exactly a statement full of strong emotion or opinions, which is where most of my review-writing mojo comes from. I guess we’ll see! (I’ve already used up fifty-six words and counting . . . now it’s sixty-two, sixty-three. . . okay, I’ll stop.) Then again, my efforts to talk about basically anything but the actual […]

Magic Slays (Kate Daniels, #5) by Ilona Andrews

June 24, 2022 by narfna Leave a Comment

30 Books in 30 Days, Vol. 2 Book 19/30 I somehow missed reviewing this book, even though I reviewed the two books in this series I read after this one. How that happened, no idea. Let’s see if I can even remember what happened in this book without getting events from later (or previous) books mixed up in it. I know this was the one where Kate starts her own business, and business is not doing great, until some guy asks her to look into […]

Okay, but really, you should read this.

The End of Bias: A Beginning by Jessica Nordell

June 24, 2022 by narfna 2 Comments

30 Books in 30 Days, Vol. 2 Book 18/30 Yep, still catching up on my April reviews. This one has been holding me up because the book was very good and very smart and those two things by themselves nearly always stymie me in my review-writing, but together it’s just a recipe for disaster. Brain frozen, words will not come. So I am starting this review—which I need to get out of the way because I want to be caught up on reviews before I […]

Chase Darkness With Me: How One True Crime Writer Started Solving Murders by Billy Jensen

June 11, 2022 by narfna Leave a Comment

30 Books in 30 Days, Vol. 2 Book 17/30 Yessss, I am still catching up on reviews from books I read in April. My goal is to be caught up by the end of June; we’ll see if I can do it, especially since in July I’m going to try and read the most amount of books I’ve ever read in a month (31!). It is going to be a Project.* *I am attempting to do this feat because I want to see if I […]

Remember when Avasarala asked Jules Pierre-Mao if he needed to go to the potty? What a great moment in literature.

Caliban's War (The Expanse, #2) by James S.A. Corey

May 31, 2022 by narfna 4 Comments

30 Books in 30 Days, Vol. 2 Book 16/30 Again, liked this one more on the second read. Once again, my previous review is gobbledygook. This review isn’t going to be anything special because I’m forcing myself to write it. I’m starting my re-read of book three tomorrow and I don’t want there to be any emotional cross-contamination. (Especially since I have a good feeling I’ll be five starring #3 on re-read.) Like the first book, I enjoyed myself with this one a lot more […]
