I know I enjoyed this instalment of the Kate Daniels series. However, I also know that my brain was virtually buzzing with the flu when I read it, so it’s all taken on the slight haze of a Night Nurse influenced dream in my head. If I remember correctly (do point out any flu medicine induced hallucinations), Roland is busy building a stronghold on the borders of Atlanta, sending Kate into conniptions. He’s also kidnapped Saiman, so the tenuous truce that has been holding between […]
This won’t tell you who she was, but who she wasn’t
Back before Christmas, I told enquiring minds that I was after books on interesting or infamous women. This book made up part of that haul. I have to admit that I didn’t personally know a huge amount about Marie Laveau before she was depicted by the glorious Angela Bassett on American Horror Story. After-show googling netted a huge amount of legends swirling around her – this book basically demolishes those legends although, thanks to the lack of real information available on her, it doesn’t do […]
Don’t rub her the wrong way…
I’m trying to space the last of these books out a little but kind of failing at that thanks to how insanely readable they are, especially while real life is a little tough, so it’s nice to wrap myself up in a world that’s so easy to get lost in (even if the characters lives are infinitely more stressful than mine). Having made a deal with Roland following her claiming of Atlanta to step away from the Pack, Kate and Curran are trying to get […]
Triflers need not apply
I had no idea until someone mentioned it that Amazon Prime members get to buy four (I think it’s four) pre-release books for nothing throughout a year – Hell’s Princess was my first free prime e-book as well as the first kindle edition I’ve ever seen that includes moving artwork, with newspaper photos and articles that zoom in to the pertinent parts and illustrations based on some of the content. While the newspaper parts worked well for this book, I’m not sure that the illustrations […]
Getting closer to the end game…
The seventh book in the Kate Daniels series (I can’t believe how quickly I’m getting through these, I’m gonna have to start trying to drag these out a bit), Magic Breaks takes us back to Atlanta, where Kate and Curran are on high alert, knowing that Kate’s big secret is now known to Hugh d’Ambray. And sure enough, we’ve hardly been back five minutes before Hugh makes his play – having first had Curran lured away for a diplomatic hunt – and lays siege to […]
Flames…flames on the side of my face
OK, I may be getting somewhat over-invested in these books, if the towering rage that I spent two thirds of it is anything to go by… When Kate and Curran are asked to travel to Europe to protect a pregnant shapeshifter from the two rival clans whose members may have impregnated her (and her Dad’s clan too, just because he’s a dick), they know that they are walking into a trap. Being aware of said trap, they’re pretty certain they can deal with whatever the […]
