An Inexplicable Hatred of Raisins

Ink & Sigil by Kevin Hearne

November 15, 2020 by CoffeeShopReader Leave a Comment

Score again for shelf-browsing time burning selection from the local library! I had a few minutes to spare, had to stop by the local library to pick something else up, went shelf-browsing and found this: Ink & Sigil. This was fantasy fun at its best, not only because of the characters, mechanics of the magic, and intrigue of the plot, but also because of the reasonably integrated exploration of a real world serious problem, in this case human trafficking. Let’s back up a sec to […]

A Local Habitation by Seanan McGuire is the second book in the October Daye series. I reviewed Rosemary and Rue for CBR11, so it’s only natural I pick the series back up for CBR 12. This novel finds the changeling Toby stumbling upon an unexpected murder mystery in Silicon Valley. As his knight, Toby can’t refuse a request from Sylvester, the Duke of Shadowed Hills. His kingdom is the faerie land closest to San Francisco. He wants her to check on his niece, January. She […]

Love triangles, magic, and murder

Grave Visions by Kalayna Price

Grave Ransom by Kalayna Price

December 30, 2019 by teresaelectro 3 Comments

It’s official. I’m totally hooked on Kalayna Price’s Alex Craft series. This was a given after I reviewed books 1-3. The follow-ups, Grave Visions, and Grave Ransom did not disappoint. Alex Craft is a grave witch. Her magic skill allows her to interact with the plane of the dead. She can see talk to ghosts and shades, which are manifestations of a dead person’s memory. Talking to the dead is quite handy if they’ve been murdered. Alex opens a private detective firm with her best friend […]

Something Wicked & Fae Comes This Way

Trailer Park Fae (Gallow and Ragged 1) by Lilith Saintcrow

December 14, 2019 by teresaelectro Leave a Comment

I loved Lilith Saintcrow‘s Jill Kismet series, which I need to start back reading again. When I learned she had a fae urban fantasy series, Gallow and Ragged, I got pretty excited the library had the audiobooks. The first book Trailer Park Fae introduces the reader to two warring Sidhe Fae courts. The land of Summer is ruled by a ruthless Queen who hates the Winter King. UnWinter oversees his dark and dangerous realm. The two courts rule their respective seasons in the human world. […]

In this universe, the Fae are hidden to humans and live amongst them in secret. Toby’s mother is a powerful […]
