The Forgotten Room is the fourth book in a series about “enigmologist” Jeremy Logan. It’s a bit predictable, but still enjoyable. It does get a bit gruesome (I gasped out loud and said “nononononono” more than once) so if you don’t like reading gore, I’d skip this one. I also recommend skipping if you know a lot about the human brain, since some of the science fiction parts were a bit hard for me to swallow. We start in Scotland, where Logan is holding a […]
The Most Boring Thing I’ve Read In Years
I read a lot of crap novels. Generally as audiobooks while folding laundry or doing dishes, but loads of them. This is one of the few books I haven’t finished. It was just so boring. I’d started the series with the water one, which was fine. It wasn’t good, but not too bad. The second one was Spirit Bound, which was less fine than the first, but not the worst thing I’d ever listened to. The reader kept pronouncing the name Levi as “Levy,” which […]
More demons, more danger in the Hollows Series
I finally dove back into the Hollows series last month to see what new trouble has found Rachel Morgan. In For a Few Demons More, book five in the series, every supernatural creature is hunting for the ancient artifact from book 4, which of course, Rachel Morgan has hiding in her freezer! Two werewolf packs, Trent Kalamack her elf nemesis and eventually Piscary the vampire boss start sniffing around for this powerful object. While ducking the supernatural power struggle, Morgan is asked to help hunt a serial […]
It’s Christmas time, so of course I’m reading about murder
I’m a couple years behind on this series, even though it’s one of my all-time favorites, but that’s mostly because I insist on re-reading before I get around to new ones, and who has time for all that? These books are number 46, 47 and 53, if you trust the In Death Wiki, and count all the short stories, which I certainly do, and I just did a re-read last year, and I didn’t have time for one this year. Plus, I prefer my books […]
“It’s only through sheer force and luck that she’s yet to take over the world.”
When I heard there was a new Bridgerton book coming out next year, I immediately added it to my TBR pile. And then decided I needed to take a break from all the new stuff I was reading and do an immediate series re-read. In case you don’t read historical romance, the Bridgerton family is the star of a series of books written by Julia Quinn, and many of the books are considered some of the best in the genre. When I want to get […]
(This review contains minor spoilers for The Blood Guard series, because I can’t figure out how to tell you what I liked/didn’t like without mentioning them. They are things that come to light fairly early in the first book, mostly, so I’m don’t feel like I’m ruining anything by mentioning them, but if you like to go into a book with a blank slate, then you should probably not read this. I will spoil my own review and tell you now: I liked them.) The […]
