Sea monsters, demons, and fae magic

A Witch With No Name by Kim Harrison

One Salt Sea by Seanan McGuire

The Kraken's Sacrifice by Katee Robert

December 31, 2024 by teresaelectro 1 Comment

No half-cannonball for me, but I’ve managed to squeeze in reviews for everything I’ve read in 2024. I’ve been savoring The Hollows series by Kim Harrison like a fine wine. I finally finished her OG urban fantasy and paranormal romance with A Witch With No Name. You have to read these in order, but it’s worth it. The close of the series finds Rachel Morgan once again in hot water with the magical beings of the world. A demon witch who shouldn’t exist will have to […]

Rage against a lot of things, including yourself

Blue Exorcist vols. 26 and 27 by Kazue Kato

August 11, 2024 by CoffeeShopReader Leave a Comment

Bingo 10: Rage Volumes 26 and 27 of the Blue Exorcist manga heavily feature a lot of wrath of various kinds. Self-loathing is especially prevalent, but there’s also jealousy, human-demon conflict, and sibling rivalry taken to an extreme. The whole series both Rin and Yukio (twin brothers, and half-demon spawns of none other than Satan himself) have hated themselves for things about their background that they or may not have fully understood (and definitely not at the same time), as well as resentment against their […]

Two Reviews for Category Part Two

Meesh the Bad Demon #2: The Secret of the Fang: (A Graphic Novel) by Michelle Lam

City of Dragons V02 Rise of the Shadowfire: A Graphic Novel by Jaimal Yogis

July 10, 2024 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Obviously Meesh the Bad Demon #2: The Secret of the Fang: (A Graphic Novel) by Michelle Lam is cbr16bingo Part Two because it says it is a Book Two in the title!  As is City of Dragons V02 Rise of the Shadowfire: A Graphic Novel. However, while I enjoyed both sequels, I was not as “into it” as book one. Still I like both and recommend them for the younger crowd, though there is some “spooky” to both, and especially in book one City of […]

Supernatural Education Lite

Posthumous Education by Drew Hayes

February 25, 2024 by CoffeeShopReader Leave a Comment

I saw on the author’s social media somewhere that Drew Hayes’ Fred the Vampire Accountant series has one final volume due out after the one I had on my shelf, making Posthumous Education (Fred #8) the penultimate installation. It definitely shows; there is a lot of set up. Fred is called on a favor picked up about 5 volumes ago to a Fey queen, and all she wants him to do is take a temporary teaching job at the local parahuman institution of higher education, […]

Witches and Demons missing a little magic

Witch King by Martha Wells

February 17, 2024 by CoffeeShopReader Leave a Comment

I wanted to like Witch King so much more than I did. It’s got some good characters (maybe a few too many though), good premise, but the pacing and sense of time are so off. Demon prince and witch pal awake to find a mage trying to syphon the demon’s magic (doesn’t go well for the mage) and then go on a quest to 1) find out how/why they were trapped (and for how long), and 2) find the witch’s spouse. Demons, including Kai, are […]

Talyn: Seed of Darkness by Caspian Drake & Geoffrey Rickett

December 31, 2023 by teresaelectro Leave a Comment

Talyn: Seed of Darkness is a new comic series from Banished Shadow, written by Caspian Drake & Geoffrey Rickett. With comic one, this is all setup and atmosphere. We start in the past by meeting The Vorden Hunters – Vlad and Amelia. They want to eradicate all magic users. They’re pretty evil and think they have a just mission to save the world from the Black Death plague. We see them fight the witch in the forest. She plants a magical seed to be reborn. […]
