Bryce Quinlan lives a charmed life in Crescent City, despite her dubious status as a half-human citizen of the Empire. But all that changes when her best friend is murdered viciously. Now, two years later, she discovers that most everything she believed about that murder may be a lie. I will go on record about this; I am eating my words. A few years ago, on the recommendation of my sister, I started reading the Throne of Glass series. I thought the first book was […]

To know the darkness will always remain, but how you choose to face it…that’s the most important part.

I blame Instagram. Over the summer, several influence-y women half my age screamed at me from my phone about how great Maas’ A Court of Thorns and Roses (ACOTAR) book series was. I was influenced. This is the fifth book in the Court of Thorns and Roses series, so proceed with caution if you haven’t read yet but want to. And you do want to read these if you are at all a fan of paranormal romances, sexy fairy shenanigans, and magic-y places. First, I need to confess […]

To the blessed darkness from which we are born…And to which we return.

I couldn’t wait to get my hands on the next book in this series. Expecting a hefty tome like the preceding books, I was kind of disappointed when I picked up this thin little volume from the library. I was ready to tuck in for the long haul, but this 4th book is more like a novella. However, it does take place during Solstice celebrations so slightly festive and somewhat appropriate timing for me to be reading it now. Again, this is book 4 so […]

It was happening again. Another fight with narrow-minded, hateful people.

CBR BINGO: Shelfie (because I had this sitting on my shelf wayyyyyyy past it’s library due date.) Book 3 in the Court of Thorns and Roses DID NOT DISAPPOINT. Breaking what I call “the third book slump” in most series, this book was by far my favorite. My devotion to these characters is getting deep, people. I’m in Outlander love territory here. I can see its shortcomings. I recognize the sometimes messy history and repetitive phrasing, but, I’m all in. This is a book about […]

There are different kinds of darkness.

CBR BINGO: Cityscape square (bottom left corner) Slammed it shut and immediately requested the third book in this series from the library. May have murmured “so, so, good” under my breath first. I’d really just like to leave it there, but we have that pesky 250 word obligation so, here goes. This is the second book in the Court of Thorns and Roses series, so if you haven’t read that yet, by all means DO. This will get a smidge spoiler-y from this point on. In order to break a […]
