“Answer me this, did you hesitate at all or did you see the giant, go ‘Wheee!’ and run toward it?”

September 6, 2015 by Malin 1 Comment

4.5 stars Spoiler warning! This is book 8 in the series, and some really big stuff happened in the last book. Seriously, if you haven’t read Magic Breaks yet, there will be spoilers, so return once you’re caught up. If you haven’t read any Ilona Andrews books yet, you should do your very best to change that as soon as possible. They write among the best paranormal books out there, you won’t be sorry. After a period of adjustment after the confrontation in the previous […]

I think it might be quite emotionally exhausting to be a twin

September 3, 2015 by Malin 5 Comments

Did you miss me, guys? I’m going to try to finally tackle the massive backlog of reviews I have (more than a quarter Cannonball at this rate), so expect much more from me in the days to come. Jude and Noah are twins and have always been very close, to the point where they seem able to communicate without words, reading each other’s minds. During the summer when they are thirteen, things are changing. Getting ready to apply to a creative arts high school, Noah […]

This is book one in a series, people

June 9, 2015 by Malin 1 Comment

3.5 stars When Lord Nicholas Falcott, the Marquess of Something-or-other (I finished this book more than a month ago and can’t be bothered to go looking up piddling details like that) is about to be killed on the battlefield in Spain in 1812, he suddenly finds himself transported forward in time about 200 years. After being nearly run over by a car, he wakes up in a modern hospital, in the company of a stranger who tells him that jumping through time is less unusual […]

“If I was afraid of dying, I couldn’t do half of the shit I do.”

April 28, 2015 by Malin 3 Comments

This is the third and final book in the Paradox series. It really won’t make a whole lot of sense or be particularly satisfying if you haven’t read the first two books in the trilogy. Start at the beginning with Fortune’s Pawn. It’s a really fun, action-packed series with great world building., so if you like space adventure, you are unlikely to regret it. It also goes without saying that there may be spoilers for the previous books in the series in this review. Proceed […]

So nice to catch up with old book friends

April 16, 2015 by Malin 4 Comments

Disclaimer! I was granted a copy of this through NetGalley in return for a fair and honest review.  This is one of the novellas Deanna Raybourn wrote about her intrepid heroine Lady Julia Grey, who the reader can follow in five very enjoyable Victorian set mysteries, where she solves murders along with her delightful husband Nicholas Brisbane. While this novella can absolutely be read on its own, you shouldn’t deny yourself the pleasure of starting at the beginning, with Silent in the Grave. The large […]
