CBR 14 Bingo: HolidayThese books are centered around Samhain and the Shadow Market that takes place around that time, the latter being a sort of holiday in and of itself for the characters of this universe. Once upon a time (about two months ago, if you want me to be precise), I backed a Kickstarter by Bonkers Romance which promised me a series of fantasy romance. Well, those books have arrived, and here are the first two! The Death God’s Sacrifice by Jenny Nordbak –  […]

The Redbreast

The Readbreast by Jo Nesbø

I Did Not Finish at 25 percent.  Everyone told me I was going to love this. But at over 600 pages and 25 percent in, you have to be better than this. I just didn’t care about anything. Reading about Harry falling off the wagon again I just could not. And the whole set up with him shooting a secret service agent was so farcical I just couldn’t suspend my disbelief. I think because the book being written out of sequence is just what finally […]

I have read the entire Kate Daniels series and used to have reviews for it back in the day on Amazon. Deleted and moved on. But I also decided to do a re-read a while back that I stopped because I forgot how much the earlier books were just not that great. And yeah this one, was not that great. Thank God the latter books in the series kicked butt and I absolutely love the spin offs to this series. We have Kate still feeling […]

Bless, I used to gobble these books down like chocolates back in the day. It was just so comforting to check in with the residents of Cedar Cove. My re-reads haven’t been that great though. This at least took my mind off of anything pressing and I just went with it though I thought the plot was way too obvious. I forgot about the whole thing with Linette and Cal dating. I do think this was the beginning of me not really loving the series […]

The Twisted Ones

The Twisted Ones by T. Kingfisher

I did not think it was humanly possible for me to not love something by T. Kingfisher, but here it is. This got recommended to me by a few people after I loved “What Moves the Dead.” I can honestly say I was not feeling this one. It dragged so much. Took me a week plus to finish it because it was just not holding my interest. I gave up understanding anything and just adored Foxy, Skip, and Tomas though. “The Twisted Ones” follows a […]

Bodies? Bodies!

Hidden Bodies by Caroline Kepnes

by 2 Comments

Read this as part of CBR14 Bingo: Bodies. Because it has “bodies” in the title and involves a lot of bodies, some alive, some dead.  You was by far one of the best books I read this year. Which surprised me given that I don’t care for books about serial killers; finding them monotonous and often gratuitously violent. Everyone is trying to rip off Hannibal Lecter these days (and has been for the last thirty years). But Caroline Kepnes has crafted a you-niquely (see what I did there? […]
