So many different things that can petrify you

April 21, 2018 by Malin Leave a Comment

This is book 3 in a series. If you want to start at the beginning, check out Discount Armageddon. From Goodreads: When Alex Price agreed to go to Ohio to oversee a basilisk breeding program and assist in the recovery of his psychic cousin, he didn’t expect people to start dropping dead. But bodies are cropping up at the zoo where he works, and his girlfriend – Shelby Tanner, an Australian zoologist with a fondness for big cats – is starting to get suspicious.  Worse yet, the […]

Paranormal fantasy that should appeal to Supernatural fans

April 15, 2018 by Malin 5 Comments

From Goodreads, because I’m really far behind on my reviews, and it’s a good summary of the book: Ghoulies. Ghosties. Long-legged beasties. Things that go bump in the night…the Price family has spent generations studying the monsters of the world, working to protect them from humanity – and humanity from them. Enter Verity Price. Despite being trained from birth as a cryptozoologist, she’d rather dance a tango than tangle with a demon, and is spending a year in Manhattan while she pursues her career in […]

Librarian heroine with latent magical powers. Dark, broody sorcerer prince as the possible love interest. I can work with that.

I do love nothing in this world so well as you. Is not that strange?

January 30, 2018 by Malin Leave a Comment

From Goodreads, because I’m lazy, and it sums up the book nicely: Six teenagers’ lives intertwine during one thrilling summer full of romantic misunderstandings and dangerous deals in this sparkling retelling of Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing. After she is kicked out of boarding-school, seventeen-year-old Beatrice goes to her uncle’s estate in Long Island. But Hey Nonny Nonny is more than just a rundown old mansion. Beatrice’s cousin, Hero, runs a struggling speakeasy out of the basement – one that might not survive the summer.  Along […]

September 11, 2017 by Malin 1 Comment

She’s been in the USA since she was six and barely remembers her life back in Jamaica anymore. She’s doing well in school and loves science and technology. She certainly doesn’t believe in love at first sight, or fated mates or fairytale endings. Even after she meets Daniel on a crowded New York street and he insists that they are […]
