Heaven Goes to War with Heaven and Mummies try not to fall apart

Grave Importance by Vivian Shaw

April 3, 2021 by CoffeeShopReader Leave a Comment

I’d kind of been putting off reading Grave Importance because it’s the conclusion of a series I’ve enjoyed. This was a good ending to the series, and I’m sad it’s over, but at the same time there are a few things I wish had gotten a little more attention. The basic story has two lines that of course merge part way through; first there’s Greta’s in which she takes over a really fancy mummy clinic for a friend for a few months and naturally discovers […]

Tricked Into a YA Romance

Daughter of Smoke & Bone by Lainie Taylor

August 1, 2020 by Ale 2 Comments

In trying to find an agent for my own novel, I asked my friends to suggest some of their favorite books that closely resembled my fantasy so that I could shamelessly query the agents of those books for my own devices. Faintingviolet lent me Daughter of Smoke and Bone. I had no idea going into this book what it was since I’d never heard of Lainie Taylor before. But faintingviolet knows I’m not a huge fan of YA, and I pretty much avoid romance at any […]

Sarah J. Maas – now with a whole lot of supernatural creatures and more swearing

House of Earth and Blood by Sarah J. Maas

July 8, 2020 by Malin Leave a Comment

#CBR12 Bingo: Red Official book description: Half-Fae, half-human Bryce Quinlan loves her life. By day, she works for an antiquities dealer, selling barely legal magical artifacts, and by night, she parties with her friends, savoring every pleasure Lunathion—otherwise known as Crescent City— has to offer. But it all comes crumbling down when a ruthless murder shakes the very foundations of the city—and Bryce’s world. Two years later, her job has become a dead end, and she now seeks only blissful oblivion in the city’s most […]

A Sherlock Holmes Retelling That Actually Works!

The Angel of the Crows by Katherine Addison

July 1, 2020 by CoffeeShopReader Leave a Comment

Katherine Addison might just have made my auto-pre-order list. I loved The Goblin Emperor, and she did it again with her most recent book which is effectively Sherlock Holmes fan-fiction. The cool thing about The Angel of the Crows is how it sets things up to be kind of recognizable but then drops a detail or line that makes it really clear which story you’re in and puts things recently mentioned in new and often interesting perspectives. The world of the story is a Victorian […]

I don’t really find the idea of a snake vampire all that appealing

Archangel's Viper by Nalini Singh

January 2, 2020 by Malin Leave a Comment

3.5 stars This is book 10 in an ongoing series, so really not the place to start. The first book in the series is Angels’ Blood. This review will contain some spoilers for that book. Holly Chang, who for a while renamed herself Sorrow, was the only survivor of the terrible carnage perpetrated when the archangel Uram went crazy and kidnapped her and all her friends and proceeded to torture and kill most of them. He forced Holly not only to drink his blood, but to watch […]

Angels Rule the World

Angels' Blood by Nalini Singh

October 20, 2019 by teresaelectro Leave a Comment

After reading Nalini Singh’s short story in Burning Up, I delved into her Archangel series starting with Angels’ Blood. The author celebrated a birthday on Sept 7th. I’m already on the third entry, so it was mere luck I was able to use this review for the Birthday #CBR11Bingo square. We are introduced to Elena Deveraux, a fierce vampire hunter who was born (or cursed according to her father) with the power to track vampires my scent. In this reality, angels are out in the […]
