Patty: Confession time. I picked this one based on one fact and one fact only: a reviewer wrote “LUVD it!” and I choked on one of the M&M’s I was eating because “LUVD”? SERIOUSLY? So I jumped on my prejudice wagon and told Katie that I felt this one was RIPE for snark and gifs. But things didn’t work out quite how I expected… Katie: Shaw, our heroine, is pretty much perfect. Smart, excellent student, wealthy, polite, kind to children and old people (actually, I […]
Finally, fulfilling fanfic fantasy for fans
Katie: As usual, Patty is dragging me kicking and screaming into a read of something I find questionable. In this case, it’s Finding Fraser by KC Dyer, which is an homage of sorts based on the incomparable James Alexander Malcolm MacKenzie Fraser from Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander saga. I didn’t see how this could possibly be a good idea. Patty: How could having a PERFECT opportunity to use JAMMF images be a bad idea? Katie: Our heroine read Outlander while in high school and fell in love […]
This ain’t no disco. This ain’t no fooling around.
We’re back, bitches. Now new and improved with the PattyKates tag instead of appearing mixed in with Katie’s solo reviews. And, to get us off to an interesting start, Patty has selected King by T.M. Frazier. Patty: King is the story of a homeless amnesiac named Doe (as in, Jane Doe) and the questionable love story between her and a criminal named King. We’ll get to the part where Katie messaged me with “What fresh hell is this?!” in a bit. […]
Opus 63 (actually 65) in three parts: Hop, Joker and High
Opus 63 in Three Parts: Hop, Joker and High. Trixie: We are banging these out (no pun intended) in a single review and finishing this crazy ride that has been the Chaos Series. Kitty may or may not ever speak to me again. I may or may not ever speak to myself again. C’mon, Baby, Light My Fire Kitty: Fire Inside, like Kristen Ashley’s other novels, features a lack of interpersonal communication on every level, a deep-seated conviction that all problems […]
Grunt. Posture. Hump. Repeat.
Kitty: Remember how we reviewed Kristen Ashley’s Motorcycle Man a short time ago? It’s because Trixie has taken it in her head that we need to compare self-published KA to published, polished and edited KA. Personally I think it’s because she derives pleasure from the mental and emotional distress it causes me. Trixie: Rule, review: Incomplete sentences. Communicate like men in books. No articles. Few verbs. Kitty: Own the Wind, the first in the Chaos series, is pretty much the epitome of KA terribleness. Shy, […]
Bad Motor Scooter.
Kitty: Oh, dear friends… Patty talked me into reading Motorcycle Man by Kristen Ashley. Obviously she is a sadist and I am a damn fool. Five pages into the first chapter and Tyra, the heroine, is slut-shaming herself, “I’m embracing my inner slut.”, referring to a one night stand with a guy who turns out to be her new boss. Trixie: We need motorcycle gang old-lady nicknames for this one, Kitty. And I didn’t so much talk you into reading it as demanded that you […]
