The Good, The Bad and The Undead has Rachel Morgan gunning for that slippery Trent Kalamack again. Someone is butchering ley line witches all over town. The FIB (the human led agency dealing with X-Files) want her to go undercover as a ley line student to spy on a professor. Morgan isn’t having any of it, convinced Trent is behind it as his secretary’s witch boyfriend disappeared. In typical fashion, the FIB boss warns her off that line of questioning. He saddles her with his […]
Rachel Morgan: A Good Witch & Tough as Nails Bounty Hunter
Whilst perusing the sci-fi/fantasy section of my library, I stumbled across the 2nd book in Kim Harrison’s Hollows series. Absentmindedly, I was half way through it before realizing it wasn’t the introductory book. As reading more books is a better move for any cannonball participant, I switched over to Dead Witch Walking ASAP. We’re introduced to a leather clad Rachel Morgan on a Leprechaun stake out in a seedy Cincinnati bar. She’s a white earth witch who relies on her wits and if all else fails […]
An Oldie But Goodie…Vampire Tale
This is one of my old favorites – just reread it so I thought I would write a review. “Blood Price” is the first of the “Blood Books”series. I would recommend them all – they form a good story arc. If you want to keep on going, Tanya Huff has follow on stories in the “Smoke and Ashes” series that I would also recommend. This book falls into the category of “urban fantasy” but it is an early example of the genre as it was written […]
No, the heroine is NOT a burlesque streetwalker, despite what the cover may imply
In an alternate history Victorian London with Steampunk gadgets, werewolves, a ruling nobility known as the Echelon, where the men are all enhanced with vampire blood, Miss Honoria Todd (who certainly doesn’t in any way dress or appear anything like the burlesque streetwalker on the cover of the book) has been forced to move to the Rookeries of Whitechapel after the death of her father. She is working as an elocution coach under an assumed name to support her younger sister (who also takes in […]
If you go into the woods today, beware the bunnies (and all the other animals)
Nurse Letitia “Tish” Everett has only really started recovering from her very controlling, emotionally and physically abusive fiancee Jeff, when she’s drawn to a tarnished antique locket at an estate sale and actually ends up shocking herself by stealing it. After managing to force it open, she is splashed by luminous crimson liquid. Inside the locket, there is a portrait of a darkly handsome man she think of as a “naughty Mr. Darcy” and a foreign inscription of some kind. Falling asleep with the locket […]
Kim Harrison finishes a series and I finish my double Cannonball
This is the thirteenth and final book in the Hollows series, and as such, a really very stupid place to start reading. Start at the beginning with Dead Witch Walking. I also shouldn’t have to tell you that this book will most likely contain spoilers for previous books in the series. You have been warned. Proceed at your own risk. Rachel Morgan’s life hasn’t exactly been peaceful since she decided to become an independent runner and start her own business with her vampire friend Ivy and the pixy Jenks. […]
