by 10 Comments

I got to read two October Daye books basically at once. Thanks so much Seanan McGuire for doing that just for me personally for this my birthday (I am in no way responsible for any of this). October Daye is a changeling living in the fair queen Titania’s perfect faerie court. She lives safely nestled in her beloved family’s tower, which is more than most changelings get and October is very grateful for her privilege. Though she and her sister do have to keep chasing […]

Max could practically hear Brand bark in his ear, “Now is when you keep your mouth shut and let the stupid bad guy explain every stupid element of their stupid life-plan-slash-life-story.”

“Anna counted five separate restaurants owned by this Howard Johnson. They looked very old – something from the years before she was born. Rune would probably know. He was always talking about the 1980s and 1990s as if they were the first decades of human existence.” ― K.D. Edwards, The Eidolon “He’s alive!” Quinn cried. “Right? Max right? Right?” Now he turned, desperate. “He’s alive and well and burning a path toward you,” Max whispered. He turned his gaze on Cornelius. Sometimes there were no […]

Selkies are hard to resist

Selkies Are a Girl's Best Friend by Molly Harper

I love the Mystic Bayou series and picked up the fourth audiobook, Selkies Are a Girl’s Best Friend Goodreads synopsis: Sonja Fong isn’t afraid of a little chaos. As director of the league’s research center in Mystic Bayou, a tiny town in Louisiana that’s home to supernatural creatures and humans alike, she’s responsible for making sure things run smoothly. It’s not an easy task when her daily memos include lines like, “New equipment is needed because the old equipment was destroyed by a temper tantrum […]

I read a fun short story by Shannon Mayer in the Kicking It anthology. I’m always on the prowl for a new paranormal/urban fantasy series, so decided to pick up Midlife Bounty Hunter in an audible sale. I’m also in my forties, so thought it be nice to read about a hero around my age. The first book in the Forty Proof series follows Breena returning divorced to Savannah. She is living with her ex’s cousin and looking for work. He recommends her for a bounty […]

The personal stakes help give a heightened sense of urgency, and the book does a […]

Disrupted Dreams And Cat Angst

So it’s the day before New Year’s Eve and I have a cold so maybe I will hit my Cannonball anyhow Every year since I first started about five years ago I have endeavoured to review the latest in the October Day series, so I was shocked when I realised I hadn’t managed to do it this year. And this year is a bit of an unusual one because Seanan McGuire didn’t put out just one October Day book, but two. The question is though, […]
