4.5 stars Spoiler warning! This novella takes place after the events of Wildfire and this review may spoil things for any reader who has not finished the original Hidden Legacy trilogy.

After the bride runs off numerous wedding planners, her sisters Catalina and Arabella decide to take over the wedding planning duties. It turns out that dealing with […]
#CBR10Bingo: So Popular! – Revisiting a favourite (Bingo #9 and #10)
#CBR10Bingo: So Popular! This is my second re-read of Attachments. I first read it back in 2011, and my original review can be found here. Considering how much I loved the book back then (and still do), it’s a fairly short and unenthusiastic review. But it’ll give you the basics of what the book is about. When it came to selecting a book for the “So popular!” square, all ten choices (among the most reviewed books of the ten years on the Cannonball blog) were ones I’d already read […]
Science fiction I actually enjoyed!
#CBR10Bingo: Cannonballer Recommends (this was a CBR Book Exchange gift from Yesknopemaybe (my paperback copy), it has also been favourably reviewed by MathildeHoeg, ingres77, dAvid, badkittyuno, belphebe, emmalita, narfna and faintingviolet, among others) Rosemary Harper is trying to escape her old life and doesn’t want anyone tracking her down. She pays a lot of money to get a new identity and gets a job on a run-down and patched up spaceship, where no one from her old life would ever think to look for her. Aboard […]
The book was absolutely NOT better
#CBR10Bingo: The Book was Better? Spoiler Warning! This has already been reviewed a ton of times – there will be some vague spoilers, but nothing that should ruin the film or the book for anyone. Rachel Chu is an economics professor in New York. Her boyfriend of two years, Nick Young, a history professor at the same university, invites her to go to Asia with him for the summer, to attend his best friend’s wedding. Rachel has no idea that Nick’s family is one of the wealthiest […]
Some more of Toby’s rather complicated family relationships are revealed
Spoiler warning! This is book 12 in an ongoing series, it is NOT the place to start. There will be minor spoilers for previous books in the series, as it’s impossible to discuss this book without mentioning things that have happened in earlier books. If you’re interested (and you should be, this is one of the best urban/paranormal fantasy series out there right now), start with book 1, Rosemary and Rue. Faerie knight and champion, and former private investigator October “Toby” Daye is not doing so well. […]
#CBR10Bingo: This Old Thing – Kilmeny of the Orchard, or most likely my worst book of the year
#CBR10Bingo: This Old Thing (published in 1910) Spoiler warning! There will be a number of spoilers for the plot of this book, because the only way I will be able to fully vent my spleen on this atrocious piece of writing is by going into minute detail about the MANY things I found dumb, objectionable or downright offensive in this book. You might as well allow yourself to be spoiled, this book is bad and you don’t actually want to waste time reading it. Eric Marshall has […]
