I know I’m late to the party, but I’m so here for any books written by Nalini Singh. I’ve been meaning to read her work for years. Last year for Cannonball Read 11, I got hooked with a novella in the Burning Up anthology. I started reviewing the Guild Hunter series with Angels’ Blood but had my eye on the Psy-Changeling books the whole time. When the new year rolled around, I knew it was time and devoured the first three books in the series.   […]

A Bananapants Guide to Befriending Bears

Hot and Badgered by Shelly Laurenston

by 8 Comments

I made the terrible mistake of starting this book at 10:30 pm. I planned to pick a book that I would read the next day, but instead I kept reading until 2 am. I could not stop laughing. Finally, I got so tired that I dropped my tablet on my face. Technically, this is a romance. But it’s really more about the MacKilligan sisters – Charlie, Max, and Stevie. Charlie, Max, and Stevie share a ne’r-do-well father, a honey badger shifter named Freddy McKilligan.  Charlie, […]

Another rather forgettable Harris book

Midnight Crossroad by Charlaine Harris

Official book description: Welcome to Midnight, Texas, a town with many boarded-up windows and few full-time inhabitants, located at the crossing of Witch Light Road and Davy Road. It’s a pretty standard dried-up western town. There’s a pawnshop (someone lives in the basement and is seen only at night). There’s a diner (people who are just passing through tend not to linger). And there’s new resident Manfred Bernardo, who thinks he’s found the perfect place to work in private (and who has secrets of his […]

There isn’t really peace when you are done

Wayward Son by Rainbow Rowell

4.5 stars Spoiler warning! This is the second book in a series, and this review will contain spoilers for the first book, Carry On. If you haven’t already read it, you should do yourself a favour and do so. Simon Snow was the Chosen One, destined to bring an end to the threat to all magic. Of course, it turned out that he himself was in fact the thing that was threatening the magic in the first place, and his mentor/father figure (and actual biological father, although none […]

An interesting, new (to me) paranormal series

Skinwalker by Faith Hunter

by Leave a Comment

3.5 stars Jane Yellowrock is, as far as she’s aware, the very last of her kind. She’s a skinwalker of Cherokee descent and has never encountered anyone with the same powers as her. She makes a living hunting vampires, but finds herself in the unusual position of working for the vampire council in New Orleans, to track down a rogue vampire. Jane has ten days to locate the creature if she wants to get the exclusive bounty, but there are other individuals in the city […]

#CBR10Bingo: This is the end – Magic Triumphs

by 2 Comments

#CBR10Bingo: This is the end This is the tenth and final book in a long running series. As such, there may be spoilers for the contents of at least previous books, as well as mild spoilers for the plot of this one. More importantly, it is NOT the place to start. The proper place to begin is Magic Bites. The book is a bit rough, but stick with it, this series is among the best paranormal fantasy out there. I’ve spent more than eleven hours on a […]
