The End of the Initial Series though there are more

I don’t usually do multiple books in one review, but I’m a bit behind so I thought this would be easier than clogging up the main page. Hence, I’ll try to do at least the ones that are part of the same series in one review, starting with the “final” three books of the Fever series. These are not in fact the final three books since there are more than five books in the series (I think from other character views?), but based on the […]

When the Supporting Characters Become More Intriguing than the Main Character

October 28, 2018 by Jen K Leave a Comment

After seven novels, the Throne of Glass series has concluded. Overall, I enjoyed the novel and the series and basically devoured this book in less than three days. And it was long! I also may do a reread now that they are all released though I apparently should have started it before this novel. I couldn’t quite remember who all the supporting characters were and how they came into play – which makes sense because while it’s only been a year since the last Throne of Glass novel, that one was […]

Good Enough to Keep Reading the Series But Stop It With the Petunia Shit – It’s Not Cute

Bingo Square (Round 2): Birthday! I was going to use Stephen King this time around but I wasn’t in the mood. I wasn’t actually that interested in reading the rest of the Bill Hodges trilogy after Mr. Mercedes but I heard there was a connection to his latest, The Outsider, so I added them to my TBR list! Unfortunately, they kind of feel like homework right now rather than something I really want to read. When I started googling authors of the books I am more interested […]

One of the darker takes on the Fae I’ve Read Recently

September 26, 2018 by Jen K Leave a Comment

Bingo Square: And So It Begins This is another one I picked up at The Ripped Bodice, and it was partly inspired by one of those “post a book a day for ten days” challenges on FB. Teresaelectro posted the fourth or fifth novel from this series so since she was at the store with me, I asked her to help me find the novel that kicks it all off. I appear to be rather picky when it comes to my urban fantasy heroes – […]

Family Matters and Magic

August 5, 2018 by CoffeeShopReader Leave a Comment

This is effectively one review for two books because really, it should be one book, not two. Let it be known I find these entertaining easy reads, but there are some structural and character problems that are really starting to annoy me. 3.5 stars combined. The continuation of gradually revealing more about the world really develops in Revelations, along with what is pretty obviously the main conflict of the series: villainous wizard want to discover ‘wizarding’ gene and use this information to find and wake […]

The Cruel Beauty of the Faeries

April 5, 2018 by Jen K Leave a Comment

Holly Black’s The Coldest Girl in Cold Town was the first audiobook that ever held my attention. Even now, when I am trying to listen to them more, if I am somewhere I can sit, I grab my actual book/Kindle to read. The Coldest Girl in Cold Town was so good that after returning from a walk, I sat on my couch and kept listening for hours. As a result, I am kind of surprised that I haven’t read her entire back catalog but I […]

Zirza on A Gothic Classic for a ReasonIt's one of those wish-you-could-read-it-again-for-the-first-time books. I loved it.
Emmalita on “It came to something when you found yourself hoping that the footsteps you heard were ghosts.”I loved the ending! I don’t think it’s been out long enough to talk about why though.
Dixie on Track Her Down by Melinda LeighI am just starting Track Her Down and I have read them all in order till now and thought I...
Roland of Gilead on How can you give us the gift of a crazy character named Rando Thoughtful and then just as suddenly take that gift away? We need to talk, Uncle Stevie.I came across this randomly years after it was written because I was searching "Random Thoughtful. But I have the...
Emmalita on “Only you, Em, would refer to heartbreak as a distraction. I think I would have a more sympathetic response if I asked to marry a bookcase.”Oh my goodness, Gallifrey was beautiful. I’m sure her mittens were gloriously murdery.
