You can’t choose your parents…

October 19, 2017 by Malin Leave a Comment

Spoiler warning! This is book 11 in the October Daye series, and because of this it is impossible for me to review this book without revealing spoilers for some of the earlier books. If you want to start at the beginning, the first book is Rosemary and Rue. If you’re not entirely caught up, proceed at your own risk. When the biggest of October “Toby” Daye’s worries is whether she’s going to be forced to sing karaoke during her bachelorette party, it’s safe to say that things are so uncharacteristically […]

It’s time to go to war

June 25, 2017 by Malin Leave a Comment

Spoiler warning! This review is going to contain spoilers for earlier books in the series, and possibly some mild ones for the content of this book too. If you’re not caught up, you probably want to skip this review for now. Come back when you’ve read the books, they’re worth your time if you like action-packed fantasy. The beginning of this book finds Fayre back at the Spring court, after Tamlin made a bargain with the the High King and had her bond with Rhysand […]

To the stars who listen – and the dreams that are answered

June 25, 2017 by Malin Leave a Comment

Spoiler warning! This is book 2 in a series, and it’s impossible for me to review this book without giving some spoilers for the book that came before. If you haven’t read the first book, A Court of Thorns and Roses, you should maybe give this review a miss until you’re caught up. There will also be some spoilers for this book, because it’s impossible to talk about what happens in it without them. Feyre is back at the Spring Court a vastly changed woman, […]

Yes, yes! All of the Yes!

June 13, 2017 by Ale 1 Comment

I ended up reading this book by accident. I thought I’d requested a book with the same title written by Victer Lavelle, but this is what showed up at the library when I went to pick it up. Since I was already there I figured I’d give it ago. And I’m glad I did as this was one of the most adorable, wonderful books I’ve read in a while. First, every single major player in this book is female. And not a whiny, incapable cipher […]

Right in the Feels

June 6, 2017 by Ale Leave a Comment

So anything I said about Mr. Colfer not hitting the right emotional cues in his last book have totally been remedied in the third Fowl installment.  Here I was, rolling along through this fun-loving YA series about a boy criminal mastermind and his faerie acquaintances and BOOM. First chapter Mr. Colfer shoots you right in the feels on page 10. At the risk of giving anything away, I won’t be writing heavy on this book’s plot details because you should just read it, but let’s suffice […]

A Romping Fowl Time

May 20, 2017 by Ale Leave a Comment

Whew! Finally in the double digits for reviews! Last CBR I reviewed the first of the Artemis Fowl books, and I loved it so much I went hunting for the rest of the series. All of our favorite characters are back! Holly, Root, everyone’s favorite pre-teen mastermind, and excitingly, Mulch Diggums, who is my personal squee character. While this installment started out a little rocky, it finds its footing about a quarter of the way though and becomes the romping fun adventure we were all […]
