When I reviewed Elizabeth Stephens’s first book in the Supers in the City series, All Superheroes Need PR, I started off “Hinges? I don’t know her” – Elizabeth Stephens, probably.

Stephens obviously knows how hinges work, because she knows exactly how and when to take them off and throw them away. Before Roland reverted to his alien form […]

In One Heart, they give us a true romance where the love interest dies early in the book and then raise their middle fingers at Canada’s far Right. Perfect for spooky season election season. (If you can register […]

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.
