Fate’s Edge is the third book of The Edge series by Ilona Andrews. Kaldar Mar, cousin to Cerise from the previous book, is recruited by Lady Virai to retrieve a magical artifact stolen impossibly stolen from a literal Fort Knox type pyramid.

That is his power – if you bet him to do […]
“Chicks dig a man of mystery. And werewolves. Chicks really dig werewolves”
4.5 stars Spoiler warning! This is the third book in The Innkeeper Chronicles and as such, this review may contain spoilers for previous books in the series. It’s also a series that is best read in order, so if you are unfamiliar with the books, go start at the beginning, with Clean Sweep. While Dina Demille may seem like a fairly ordinary young human woman, she is in fact an Innkeeper, and within the bounds of her inn, she is almost unbelievably powerful. Her broom […]
A magical ice apocalypse in Dublin
After an epic five novels, Karen Marie Moning switches the narrator to Dani “Mega” O’Malley in Iced. The previous entries focused on MacKayla “Mac” Lane, new to all things magic and unknowingly gifted with magical powers to fight evil & SEXY AF fairy princes who want to destroy our world. These Unseelie princes nearly do by tearing a hole between their magical dimension and ours to let in all kinds of nasty monsters. During her battles against the apocalypse, Mac befriends a 13 year old girl named Dani […]

Love in a magical swamp
I kicked off the year with Bayou Moon from Ilona Andrews’ The Edge series. This novel follows William, an ex-military changeling werewolf loner. He was a supporting character in the first book, On the Edge. William retired to The Edge, a liminal zone between the “Broken” (our world devoid of magic) and the “Weird” (a mirror earth dimension full of magic). In this reality, werewolves are either killed at birth or forced into the military. His forest cabin solitude is interrupted when two agents from The […]
This book left me at a loss for words.
What an absolutely odd book. This was assigned for my lit class which, as I’ve mentioned before, I was mostly taking as an elective to force me to read things I wouldn’t normally. And well, let’s just say that I would never in my entire life have read this normally. It’s a classic, so it feels odd to summarize, but I can’t be the only one late to the game – an ethereal unicorn goes looking for other unicorns, winds up captured, picks up a […]
