In Toby’s world, it’s been a few months since the events of Ashes of Honor, and things are going well – especially in her newly romantic relationship with Tybalt. So, of course, something HAS to come along to upset the apple-cart. This time, that something is goblin fruit. A druggy pleasure of the purebloods, goblin fruit is incredibly addictive to changelings and deadly to humans. With changelings now starting to turn up dead, Toby takes the problem to the Queen of the Mists….only to discover […]
Aren’t we all?
I knew nothing about We Were Liars before going in (except that it had a good title and an appealing cover), and that’s probably the best way to approach this book – I’m going to have a hard time reviewing it without giving anything away. The Sinclair family is beautiful, wealthy, and numerous. Normally spread across the country, they spend each summer on their own private island just off Massachusetts, in houses purposefully built for them by the wealthy patriarch. Our narrator is the teenaged […]
Don’t wanna be shamed? Maybe just don’t be a dick…
Once forming a big part of punishments, particularly before the 19th century, public shaming has come back with a bang since the rise of social media. In So You’ve Been Publicly Shamed, journalist Jon Ronson takes a look at some of the people who have become famous for being publicly shamed – people like Justine Sacco, the African Aids tweet woman; Lindsay Stone, who took a photo of herself flipping off a sign at Arlington Cemetery; and various men who’ve been caught in sex scandals […]
Somehow charming instead of creepy
It’s the late 90’s, and office email is still enough of a novelty for the higher ups at a local newspaper not to get it in the slightest.

But while Lincoln is supposed to be monitoring and warning those in breach of company policy, he finds himself reluctant to do […]
I’m only feeling *slightly* weird for fancying a cat…
It’s been a year since the events of One Salt Sea, and Toby is not a good place, having lost her lover (to death), her child (to the Changeling’s choice) and her know (although she gave that up willingly). Her friends are concerned that she has some sort of death wish – and that’s not made any easier when Etienne pitches up asking for her help. Etienne hasn’t always been as strait-laced as he seems, and 16 years ago got involved with a human who […]
How not to run a police department
Throughout the 80’s and 90’s, women were going missing at an alarming rate from Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside area. But despite the best efforts of the women’s families, friends and others – like the community workers who came into contact with them – to report them missing, and despite warnings from experts within the law enforcement community that Vancouver had a serial killer problem, the Vancouver Police Department would choose to ignore that for nearly twenty years, often lying to concerned relatives about their missing loved-ones’ […]
