I think many of us would like to visit this library

November 26, 2016 by Malin 2 Comments

3.5 stars Irene is an agent of the Library, a place that exists outside normal space and time. In fact, as long as the agents and librarians that work for the Library are there, they do not age in the slightest. Only when they are out in the different worlds of the multiverse, do they visibly age, and how much depends how time passes in the various worlds they find themselves. As an agent of the Library, Irene is sent to retrieve books that are […]

For trust not him that hath once broken faith

September 24, 2016 by Malin 3 Comments

This is book ten in an ongoing series, and as such, REALLY not the place to start. While my review may not have too many spoilers about earlier books in the series, there is a whole lot of history in the books before that is required for this book to be fully satisfying to a reader. Start at the beginning with Rosemary and Rue.  After changeling knight and sometime champion of the realm, October “Toby” Daye’s adventures in the Kingdom of the Silences, there is […]

“You’re like a crazy cat lady, but you collect killers instead of fluffy cats.”

4.5 stars Spoiler warning! This is book nine in the Kate Daniels series. The penultimate book in the series, in fact. I will not be able to review this book without there being spoilers for earlier books. Don’t read this if you’re not all the way caught up. Do pick up the series if you like good Urban/Paranormal fantasy, though, it’s pretty much the best out there at the moment.  Private detective and supernatural powerhouse Kate Daniels is finally getting married to Curran Lennart, former […]

Dresses, balls and suitors, and soul-sucking monsters?

September 17, 2016 by Malin 1 Comment

3.5 stars Lady Helen Wrexhall is 18 and nervous about her imminent presentation to the Queen. As her parents died when Helen was young, and there is scandal attached to her mother (she is believed to have been a traitor), Helen and her brother have been raised by their aunt and uncle. She desperately hopes that no one is going to mention the scandal connected to her mother, but can’t resist the urge to take her mother’s miniature with her to the presentation either, wanting […]

Fight the Power

September 15, 2016 by Malin 6 Comments

Because it’s been nearly a month since I finished this book (yay, backlogs!) and because the blurb does a good job of summing up the story, I’m going to resort to Goodreads: Ten years ago, Calamity came. It was a burst in the sky that gave ordinary men and women extraordinary powers. The awed public started calling them Epics. But Epics are no friend of man. With incredible gifts came a desire to rule. And to rule man you must crush his will. Nobody fights […]

Not everyone has to be the Chosen One. Not everyone has to be the guy who saves the world.

August 20, 2016 by Malin 2 Comments

Growing up in a small town somewhere in America (schools, family-themed restaurant, lots of cars, a bunch of huge churches, a Wallmart, a couple of multiplexes, so many trees), Mikey and his sister Mel (don’t call her Melinda) are just trying to get through their final year of high school, hoping that something so momentous happens that the indie kids have to blow up the school gym again. Who are the indie kids, you ask? The indie kids are the ones that all the YA […]
