From the blurb: Meet Jessica Jones. Once upon a time, she was a costumed superhero…but not a very good one. Her powers were unremarkable compared to the costumed icons that populate the Marvel Universe. In a city of Marvels, Jessica Jones never found her niche. Now a chain-smoking, self-destructive alcoholic with a mean inferiority complex, Jones is the owner and sole employee of Alias Investigations – a small, private-investigative firm specialising in superhuman cases. When she uncovers the potentially explosive secret of one hero’s true […]
You’d think shapeshifters and demons and an estranged couple reuniting in a Steampunk London would be more interesting than this

Finishing my The Hollows re-read
So I’ve been doing a re-read of all of Kim Harrison’s The Hollows books in audio since March this year.

You can’t choose your parents…
Spoiler warning! This is book 11 in the October Daye series, and because of this it is impossible for me to review this book without revealing spoilers for some of the earlier books. If you want to start at the beginning, the first book is Rosemary and Rue. If you’re not entirely caught up, proceed at your own risk.

A very satisfying ending, for now. I hope there will be more books
