Revenge is basically the foundation of civilization, Harry

July 20, 2015 by janniethestrange Leave a Comment

Harry is working on a bank robbery that ended in the death of one of the tellers. While he and his new partner Beate Lonn work the case, more robberies take place. They have got their work cut out for them. Elsewhere in Harry’s life, Rakel and Oleg are in Moscow.

I can’t stop thinking the title of this book is also a reference to penises.

I love Lord John Grey. I kind of want to be best friends with him. Or, at least take him out for drinks and commiserate about how he has absolute shit luck with romance. He seems okay with his life, but I just feel so bad for him, like, all the time. Lord John and the Brotherhood of the Blade is the second novel in the Lord John spin-off series which takes place during the twenty year timespan of Voyager. You don’t need to have […]

Someone’s got a secret…

July 9, 2015 by katie71483 Leave a Comment

…but I’LL never tell. Xoxo Annwyl the Bloody has problems. She can’t decide if her terrible name or her homicidal half-brother is a bigger pain in the ass. I’m leaning toward the former, if only because it sounds like she has serious problems with her cycle. In actuality, it’s probably her brother since he and his men are always trying to kill her. In fact, that’s the true source of “the Bloody” portion of her name – more often than not she’s got the blood […]

Every Parent’s Worst Nightmare

July 7, 2015 by badkittyuno Leave a Comment

First of all, I am so behind on my reviews & I’m about to flood the page in order to catch up. Apologies. Tim Johnston’s Descent was pretty good, but not as good as I expected. I feel like it dragged on a bit, and I wish that Caitlin had been given more of the story. “Long after everyone else has given up and gone home and gotten on with their lives, he would keep on believing because, without evidence, you could never kill his belief.” […]

Time of the Living Gargoyles

July 6, 2015 by CoffeeShopReader Leave a Comment

I picked this up as a light read and it is, but it’s entertaining. Zoe Faust, the heroine, is an herbalist and runs an online shop, who just wants to settle into her new fixer-upper home in Portland, Oregon. Zoe encounters a few problems. First, there is the living stone gargoyle Dorian Robert-Houdin who has stowed away in her things because he needs her help translating an old alchemical text in order to save his life. It turns out Zoe is several centuries old, having […]
