August 25, 2021 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

An adorable coming of age with lots of humor story is the best way to describe Secrets of Camp Whatever Volume One. Monsters, adventures, and snacks come together when a handful of children go to a bit of a creepy, but cool, summer camp. Adventure awaits! Just watch out for fog leeches. Chris Grine created characters that are relatable, diverse, and are full of surprises. Willow, our main character, and her friends are sent to a summer camp for a few weeks. Willow does not […]

I loved Kelley Armstrong’s Women of the Otherworld series – I think I had read some of the Sookie Stackhouse novels when I read this one but while I lost interest in Sookie, I kept coming back to Armstrong’s diverse (from a magical power perspective) cast of characters. Now, I may mostly talk about Toby Daye and Kate Daniels, but that doesn’t mean I have forgotten about the Otherworld. These were really my starter series that got me interested in other women written urban fantasy […]

If the best thing is the preview to other stuff…

Lumberjanes The Shape of Friendship by Lilah Sturges

I wouldn’t have known this if I had not noticed the back of the book, but apparently Lumberjanes: The Shape of Friendship is the sequel to The Infernal Compass. There is very little in the story to show the two are actually connected in any other way than featuring the same general setting and cast of characters. I actually like the ideas introduced to the Lumberjane universe in The Infernal Compass, and I’m a little sad that those elements got no more development; I hope […]

All Girls Summer Camp? Sounds like a bad idea to me

15 years ago, Emma went to summer camp for the very first time. Being late to arrive, the 13 year old was placed with three girls who were older and were friends already. There was the queen bee, Vivian, bitchy when she wanted to be, always adventurous and determined. Natalie and Allison played the role of the queen’s attendents, doing whatever Vivian told them to do. Emma? Emma just idolized Vivian. Having been at the camp only two weeks and falling in line with the […]

Emmalita on “Only you, Em, would refer to heartbreak as a distraction. I think I would have a more sympathetic response if I asked to marry a bookcase.”Oh my goodness, Gallifrey was beautiful. I’m sure her mittens were gloriously murdery.
