If you go into the woods today…

February 2, 2015 by Malin 3 Comments

In the little town of Fairfold, people know that faeries are real. You need to be careful and not call too much attention to yourself, like the tourists frequently do, or the faeries may play dangerous or even deadly pranks on you. One of the things that lures tourists to Fairfold is the glass coffin, deep in the woods. In it, there is a horned boy, sleeping eternally. He is a thing of otherworldy beauty with the tips of his ears sharp as knives. He’s […]

Yeah, I was fine. F*cked in Extreme, as Ivy would say.

Up to now I’ve been reviewing The Hollows series in chunks, because they’ve been so hard to put down, and have these multi book arcs that made made 3 or 4 book clusters make sense.  But, book 9, Pale Demon, is such a game changer that I’m going to review it on it’s own, and Black Magic Sanction will have to go unreviewed.  If you haven’t read the previous 8 books, don’t start here. Spoilers! When Pale Demon opens, Rachel has been shunned by the […]

You could have done with having a BIT more happen, Maggie

November 23, 2014 by Malin 2 Comments

Blue Sargent’s mother is missing, and it’s quite clear that time passes differently where she’s gone. This loss affects Blue deeply, although she has Mr. Grey around and her Raven Boys to take her mind off things. Blue, Gansey, Ronan, Adam and even Noah are still trying to find Glendover, looking in caves all over the area. They are told repeatedly that there are three Sleepers under the ground, and it is imperative that one of them not be woken. They now have the aid […]

What if you could turn your worst weaknesses into a weapon and fight crime with it?

November 22, 2014 by Malin Leave a Comment

Once again, I’m going to make things easier for myself, by using a blurb: Justine knows she’s going to die. Any second now. Justine Jones has a secret. A hardcore hypochondriac, she’s convinced a blood vessel is about to burst in her brain. Then, out of the blue, a startlingly handsome man named Packard peers into Justine’s soul and invites her to join his private crime-fighting team. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime. With a little of Packard’s hands-on training, Justine can weaponize her neurosis, turning it outward […]

One day Ilona Andrews will publish a book that disappoints me and that will be a terrible day

November 21, 2014 by Malin 2 Comments

4.5 stars In a world where magic exists and is passed down through generations, the most influential families in society are called Houses, and tend to breed selectively to create the most powerful magic users, known as Primes. Nevada Baylor is a struggling P.I in Houston, trying to make ends meet. Nevada’s powers (which she keeps secret to avoid being exploited by one of the ruthless Houses) allow her to sense any time someone is lying. It comes in handy in her line of business, […]

I can think of a number of situations when it would be convenient to have a Head key.

November 19, 2014 by Malin 1 Comment

This review may contain spoilers for the first volume in the series, so if you want to remain unspoiled, you may want to proceed carefully. Following a shocking death that dredges up memories of their father’s murder, Kinsey and Taylor are thrown into choppy emotional waters, and turn to their new friend, Zach Wells, little suspecting Zach’s dark secret. Meanwhile, six-year-old Bode Locke tries to puzzle out the secret of the head key, and uncle Duncan is jarred into the past by a disturbingly familiar […]
