A witch, a vampire and a pixie walk into a bar
Rachel Morgan is an earth witch (which means she uses wooden charms activated with drops of her own blood to do magic, as opposed to layline witches who draw their power from laylines) and works for the IS (Inderland Security), a police force consisting of supernaturals like witches, living vampires, werewolves, fairies and pixies. They police the supernatural crimes, while the FIB (Federal Inderland Bureau) is its mundane, human counterpart. For the last year, Rachel has had a run of truly awful assignments and what […]

“I shield in the name of fashion. I accessorize for one and all. Pursuit of truth is my passion. This I vow by the great parasol.”
I am very late to the Parasol Protectorate party, which Gail Carriger threw from approximately 2009-2012, and celebrated the publication of a 5-book steampunk/urban fantasy series.

Carriger has a voice that is unique of her contemporaries, and while I consider all of my very favorite historical romance/fantasy books to have some measure of wit and humor, these books are on another level. If Wodehouse decided to dabble in the territory […]
Vampires, Gnomes & Dark Angels Oh My!
This is book six in the Chicagoland Vampire series, the tale of Merit who was turned vampire and is still dealing with the change in her life. She’s Sentinel of Cadogan House, and in love with Ethan Sullivan, the Master of the house. In the last book, Ethan was brought back from the dead and he is somewhat the same as before – sexy, confident and infuriatingly arrogant. This book starts with Merit and Ethan on a road trip to Nebraska, to make sure that […]
