Something Wicked & Fae Comes This Way

Trailer Park Fae (Gallow and Ragged 1) by Lilith Saintcrow

December 14, 2019 by teresaelectro Leave a Comment

I loved Lilith Saintcrow‘s Jill Kismet series, which I need to start back reading again. When I learned she had a fae urban fantasy series, Gallow and Ragged, I got pretty excited the library had the audiobooks. The first book Trailer Park Fae introduces the reader to two warring Sidhe Fae courts. The land of Summer is ruled by a ruthless Queen who hates the Winter King. UnWinter oversees his dark and dangerous realm. The two courts rule their respective seasons in the human world. […]

Another rather forgettable Harris book

Midnight Crossroad by Charlaine Harris

December 12, 2019 by Malin Leave a Comment

Official book description: Welcome to Midnight, Texas, a town with many boarded-up windows and few full-time inhabitants, located at the crossing of Witch Light Road and Davy Road. It’s a pretty standard dried-up western town. There’s a pawnshop (someone lives in the basement and is seen only at night). There’s a diner (people who are just passing through tend not to linger). And there’s new resident Manfred Bernardo, who thinks he’s found the perfect place to work in private (and who has secrets of his […]

Fae Murder Mystery in San Francisco

Rosemary and Rue by Seanan McGuire

October 23, 2019 by teresaelectro Leave a Comment

Rosemary and Rue is the first book in the October Daye series by Seanan McGuire. I’ve been meaning to read this forever. I’m a big fan of detective mysteries and urban fantasy. I’m very happy to review it for the And So It Begins CBR11 bingo square. October Daye, Toby for short, is a changeling and a knight errant to the Duke of Shadowed Hills. In this universe, the Fae are hidden to humans and live amongst them in secret. Toby’s mother is a powerful […]

There isn’t really peace when you are done

Wayward Son by Rainbow Rowell

October 19, 2019 by Malin 2 Comments

4.5 stars Spoiler warning! This is the second book in a series, and this review will contain spoilers for the first book, Carry On. If you haven’t already read it, you should do yourself a favour and do so. Simon Snow was the Chosen One, destined to bring an end to the threat to all magic. Of course, it turned out that he himself was in fact the thing that was threatening the magic in the first place, and his mentor/father figure (and actual biological father, although none […]

A violent, sad, but very satisfying ending (Triple Bingo)

Locke & Key, vol 6: Alpha & Omega by Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodriguez

October 19, 2019 by Malin Leave a Comment

#CBR11 Bingo: Not My Wheelhouse (horror) (Would also work for Illustrated) Spoiler warning! This is the sixth and final volume in the Locke and Key series. It is absolutely NOT the place to start. This review will probably contain spoilers both for earlier and this collection, so don’t read it unless you’re completely caught up. The first volume is Welcome to Lovecraft. In this final volume, the Locke kids have to confront the evil that has been haunting their family for over a generation. If there was any doubt that […]

Toby Daye and the selkies

The Unkindest Tide by Seanan McGuire

October 6, 2019 by Malin Leave a Comment

Spoiler warning! This is book 13 in a series, and really not the place to start. The first book is Rosemary and Rue, that’s where you want to begin, if you’re interested. Official book description: Hundreds of years ago, the Selkies made a deal with the sea witch: they would have the sea for as long as she allowed it, and when the time came, she would call in all their debts at once. Many people assumed that day would never come. Those people were wrong. When […]

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.
