You ever have one of those days when you find bits of a corpse, but it doesn’t belong to any of the zombies? Foxtrot has and it’s not even the weirdest part of her day. Actually, it’s just another day working at her boss ZZ’s mansion, where there are always guests (who are often weird), zoo animals to take care of (yes, ZZ has a zoo on her estate) and a spiritual Crossroads to maintain. The zombies aren’t real (they’re part of a film set), […]
Julia the jerk
Have you ever read a book that is part of a series and wonder where you went wrong? Do you question if you were high when you started the series and are only just now seeing things clearly? That’s where I’m at with this fourth book in the Maine Clambake Mystery series. I’m wondering if there was something wrong with me during the first three books or if there’s something wrong with me now. Let’s discuss. Your main character is Julia Snowden. Julia is living […]
Not so hidden flame
Inspector David Graham has moved to the island of Jersey (UK, not New Jersey) for the peace, quiet and laid-back life that I guess Jersey is known for. Unfortunately, a murder happens almost as soon as he arrives, so he has to go straight to work with his ragtag group of officers (the drunk, the wannabe super detective and the lonely woman officer who thinks her new boss might be quite a catch). Witnesses are interviewed, motives are sussed out and the case is solved […]
The Pros and Cons of Fillers
Charley Davidson has amnesia. She’s currently living in New York as a Jane Doe working in a bar/restaurant. She’s leaning things about herself (she see dead people, know multiple languages and can tell when people lie), but doesn’t feel she can talk to anyone about these things. Some people think she’s faking the amnesia and thus treat her like dirt. Other people seem to like her, but she’s not sure why. Life isn’t normal, but she’s getting by. This is the ninth book in the […]
Gilley needs to be smacked
MJ and her husband Heath return from vacation to find a cursed dagger is missing from their safe. Turns out their friend Gilley loaned it to a museum because Gilley lacks sense. Gilley is terrified of the supernatural and yet thinks it’s perfectly okay to loan a cursed dagger to a museum. Naturally, the dagger is stolen from the museum, the ghost/demon inside of the dagger is set free and a museum worker is killed. Nice work, Gilley! Oh, but the fun has only just […]
You saved the world two days ago. Time to save it again
Mac Fraser is trying to enjoy lunch with a goblin when a businessman at another table starts freaking out. It seems that the poor human can suddenly see monsters. Granted, there are monsters in the restaurant, but regular humans shouldn’t be able to see past their glamours. Fortunately for Mac (and the monsters), the guy was high and will forget what he saw in a few hours. Unfortunately for Mac (and the rest of the world), the guy was high on a new drug called […]
