4.5 stars This is book 8 in a series, not the place to start. There is far too much stuff in this book furthering the ongoing story arc for this to be an especially satisfying book to start the series with. Start at the beginning with Angels’ Blood. There are dark rumours that Lijuan, the Archangel of Death, is about to murder one of the sleeping Ancients (powerful archangels who have gone to ground to sleep for millennia so as to stave off insanity). As […]
Ashwini the Guild Hunter finally catches her Cajun for good
This is book 7 in an ongoing series, and as such, not the place to start reading. This review will contain some spoilers for the previous books in the series, because it’s impossible not to mention some of the things that have happened before this book began. The first book in the series is Angels’ Blood and I highly recommend it. After the devestating attacks on New York, archangel Raphael and his consort Elena are trying to re-group, rebuild and calm the population. When a […]
There are no exploding airships in this book. But it’s still fun, and MUCH better than the cover would suggest
Spoiler warning! This is book 2 in this series, and as such, this review will contain certain spoilers for the plot of book 1, Kiss of Steel. My review for this book also explains quite a lot about the setting and world-building for this series, so you may want to read/re-read that one first, to remind yourself of the world these books take place in . Or just, you know, read the first book. This review will still be here when you’re done. William Carver […]
I almost forgot how to book review
Okay, I read this over a month ago and my brain has been so completely in another place since then. Obsolete reviews are fun! Let’s do this, with a generous assist from Goodreads: “The Edge lies between worlds, on the border between the Broken, where people shop at Walmart and magic is a fairytale–and the Weird, where blueblood aristocrats rule, changelings roam, and the strength of your magic can change your destiny… Cerise Mar and her unruly clan are cash poor but land rich, claiming […]
Just talk to each other, already!
This novella is part of Bec McMaster’s London Steampunk series. Some of the back story and world building for the story can be found in my review for Kiss of Steel, the first book in the series. When former factory worker turned East End enforcer John “Rip” Doolan was nearly killed by a vampire attack, the only way to save his life was for his employer Blade to infect him with the craving virus (a sort of vampire light option). After six months, he is still […]
Fu*k the What Now? A Paranormal Romance
Thanks to Katie and Patty’s inspiring review and JR Ward, I miss Kresley Cole. All three of you should go stand in the corner and THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU DID! Paranormal romance is the portion of the genre with the most primal stories. There are strong tribal elements and the tropes tend towards traditional roles. Men are warriors, god-like iron-thewed lords capable of both shocking violence and macho tenderness. The women are fertility goddesses, sensual and beautiful, but with a core of steel. The mythological […]
