#CBR10Bingo: So shiny This review will contain spoilers for Jane Eyre, but that book is more than 170 years old, and therefore, if you don’t know the gist of the plot already, that’s really not my fault. In this slightly alternate universe, King George III of England was not actually mad, he just saw ghosts and could talk to them (making others believe he wasn’t quite right in the head). He founded a society “for the Relocation of Wayward Spirits”, led by none other than the Duke […]
Lady Bond Hunts Spy Ghosts and Discovers Cthulu May be Real
Make James Bond a married woman and more complex character, allow for a very real afterlife which connects in some ways to the living realm, add an extra double cross and you’ve got Summerland. The premise is super interesting: in the late 1930s there are 2 branches of British spies, one based in the world of the living and one based in the world of the dead, called Summerland. There is massive political intrigue and likely catastrophic conflict brewing between the followers of the Presence […]
Alice is the same…maybe I’ve changed?
I used to say that Alice Hoffman was one of my favorite authors. “Used to” as in have always, ever since I first fell in love with the book “Practical Magic,” which is SO much better than the movie, which is really damn good it its own right, but for the record, only covers about 1/3 of the content of the book. Initially in my late teens I read her books with a voracious appetite, and regularly recommend her to others. There are elements of […]
Charley Davidson, Private Eye and Grim Reaper at your service
Despite being well-versed in the urban fantasy genre, I had yet to dive into the Charley Davidson series by Darynda Jones. It’s a new year, so why not jump into a new one? 🙂 First Grave on the Right introduces us to a tired and bruised Charley Davidson being woken up from a very sexy dream by a dead lawyer. Needless to say, she’s pretty peeved. Before she can get her bearings, her police detective Uncle Bob (UB for short) calls her to a murder scene. […]
He loves having people make jokes about his name… so feel free to pile in when introduced.
According to official listings, The Furthest Station is Peter Grant #5.7, which if you ask me is an infuriating state of affairs. I love this series so much, mostly because of the people, places, and things in them. And it’s starting to feel like Aaronovitch is only writing tangents these days. There are the graphic novels plus this novella, but I really mostly want to know is WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH LESLEY MAY. I swear to you, every time I go to Wikipedia to see […]
Class-war evil supernatural black fungus
I raced through Rivers of London: Black Mould when I brought it home from the library (pro tip: if a book is brand new and it’s not on the shelves but it’s definitely in the catalog, ask your librarian to check the back room! maybe it hasn’t even been shelved yet!), but honestly it didn’t make much more of an impact on me other than to keep moving the Rivers of London universe forward for me. Not that that isn’t of value, because of course […]
