He went abruptly still. “Would you rather I stay dressed?” “Please don’t,” I blurted.

All The Hidden Paths by Foz Meadows

June 14, 2024 by carmelpie Leave a Comment

“Slyly I said, “So you do like him.” Markel’s expression was pained. “He’s a familiar sort of stupid, that’s all,” he signed. “Like you at eighteen, but with better hair.” ― Foz Meadows, All the Hidden Paths All The Hidden Paths picks up a few weeks after the end of A Strange and Stubborn Endurance. Still grieving after the events of the first book, Cae and Velasin are summoned to the capitol by the Asa, Tithena’s queen. Cae is the unwilling heir of his grandmother’s […]

Remember and Be Nice

Remember by Dac Trung Tran

Troll by Frances Stickley

June 14, 2024 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Remember by Dac Trung Tran is due February  2025. I was able to locate an online reader copy. Now, I am not completely sure if I will find a finished copy early next year, but I do know I will be recommending it.  And that is despite, or because of, I am not completely sure what was read! I could tell you that it is about a book who wakes up to find his mother has left for work, and she has left him a […]

Just a bit of fun… gone horribly wrong

Read at Your Own Risk by Remy Lai

June 13, 2024 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I almost didn’t read Read at Your Own Risk by Remy Lai. I have enjoyed reading their Surviving the Wild books and have had other titles by them on my radar, but at first I didn’t realize this was theirs and second it did not look like it was something I would normally read. But since one goal this year is to break away from the reading norm and try new things, I thought a young adult thriller might be good. Well, it is a […]

You’re not paranoid if everyone is actually trying to kill you.

A Strange and Stubborn Endurance (The Tithenai Chronicles Book 1) by Foz Meadows

June 11, 2024 by carmelpie 1 Comment

I felt a sudden, furious rush of sympathy for every Ralian woman who’d ever been the subject of marital bartering; I was ashamed of my prior indifference to the phenomenon, and wondered, with a certain, sick fascination, if being raised in expectation of such a fate made enduring it any easier. ― Foz Meadows, A Strange and Stubborn Endurance I bought this book a couple of months ago as it was on my “MUST ACQUIRE” list. However, I cannot remember how I heard about it […]

Decent Sequel

The Shadow Cabinet by Juno Dawson

June 11, 2024 by ASKReviews 1 Comment

Best for: Those who enjoyed the first book in the series, Her Majesty’s Royal Coven. In a nutshell: Taking place immediately after the end of the first book, we find a witch who has taken over her sister’s body and a lot of men who want to cause a lot of harm to women. Worth quoting: N/A Why I chose it: I enjoyed the first in the series. Review: Without spoiling the book, I appreciate that the first one had a theme that was related […]

Aminder Dhaliwal has created a magical world with its own unique set of rules. Witches are valued and esteemed so long as they do their job for their towns. Once their magic weakens, they are “cleansed” by fire and a new witch takes over. It’s an old […]
