Read as part of CBR17 bingo: diaspora. The story follows a woman born-and-raised in Georgia who goes to Ireland for the duration of the book to investigate her sister’s death. It also has a plot of an alien race who is living on earth in diaspora. I’ve been watching a lot of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and I found this one on a subreddit recommending books like Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Make no mistake, the author has definitely seen Buffy the Vampire Slayer more than once. She may even owe […]

The first novel in the long-running Fever series from Karen Marie Moning, Darkfever introduces us to the world of MacKayla “Mac” Lane. A naive young woman from small-town Georgia, Mac leaves her safe home to travel to Dublin after her older sister is murdered there while studying abroad at Trinity College. Arriving in Dublin, Mac is shocked to learn that her sister has been behaving strangely – not attending classes, avoiding friends, losing weight, and generally acting out of character. On the way home from her sister’s […]

Even worse now than it was when it was first published

Iced (Fever #6) by Karen Marie Moning

Re-Read – August 2019: I first read and reviewed this 6 years ago and didn’t really enjoy it. But this summer, I wanted to revisit all of the Fever books, having been a big fan of the initial run of 5 in the series. And although my general feeling going into Iced was that this and the follow-up Burned were the weakest among them, I was actually a little cautiously optimistic that I might enjoy them more this time. A big part of that comes […]

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 […]

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

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 – […]

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.
