Damn. It’s only April and I’ve already fallen behind in my reviews, so this one’s a two-fer as I try and catch up. I read these back-to-back during some sleepless nights in Rome (which was actually a plus as far as I was concerned – I got to do tons of sightseeing while also racking up some serious reading time), safely ignorant of the fact that there aren’t any more in the series yet until I got to the end of The Hanging Tree and […]
“Philosophically speaking, truth is a slippery concept and one should always be alive to nuance.”
This is Book 6 in the Rivers of London/Peter Grant series. It is SO much better than the last outing, and I’m so very happy. I would put it right up there with Midnight Riot and Broken Homes (my two favorites so far). These are not individual mysteries. I highly recommend reading this series in order because there is an ongoing story that builds with each one. There are apparently graphic novels that take place in between some of the novels, and I think those […]
Harry, stop objectifying the Queen of Air and Darkness. She will END YOU.
This re-read has been a success so far. Weird, but good weird. It was weird revisiting the first three books, which I originally didn’t like enough to continue the series, on audio for the first time. I knew that James Marsters was a huge part of the reason I ended up liking this series so much, but I don’t think I realized just how much until starting this re-read. I liked the first three books more on re-read in large part because I’m invested in […]
Surprisingly funny
Werewolves and vampires generally don’t do much for me, so I don’t pick up paranormal romances on a whim. However, my book club chose Soulless (2014) by Gail Carriger, and they said it was fun. It also happens to be a steampunk comedy of manners, so I found that there was a lot more to it than Twilight and the Charlaine Harris books I’ve read. I had a good time reading this book. The tone is fun, the writing is fun, and I loved all the names of […]
Fun paranormal mysteries
I started this review after reading Midnight Riot, promptly never finished writing my review, and then read Moon Over Soho. So now I get to write two reviews for the price of one! Laziness pays off again! I am really enjoying this series. They are paranormal mysteries with a large dash of police procedural thrown in. I could have sworn that I heard about Midnight Riot here (since this is basically my only non-romance recommendation source these days), but I can’t seem to locate it […]
The Hannibal of books
The Devourers is one of those books where I liked it so much that I don’t even know what to say about it. I read it in one sitting, ensconced in a fever dream, and because it was so intense and then over so quickly I had such a hangover afterward, wanting more. It’s like the Hannibal of books: fellow fans of the (too-short) TV show will understand when I say that it has that same quality of being breathtaking and captivating, literally beautiful, but […]
