Kill the Dead is the second in the Sandman Slim series. If you like urban fantasy, noir, mysteries, or really well written books you should be reading the Sandman Slim books. Let me repeat this: You should be reading Sandman Slim! I am listening, audio style, while I pack up a friend’s house. McLeod Andrews is an amazing reader. Listening to James Stark (aka Jim, Jimmy, Sandman Slim the monster who kills monsters, or Abomination) drink, smoke, steal cars and serve up shit to people […]
Fear Kate Daniels. She is a mighty and terrible ruler.
After I read Magic Bleeds, I started thinking about the most recent book – Magic Breaks. Like Magic Bleeds, Magic Breaks is a major pivot point for the series. However, I haven’t read Magic Breaks often enough to have “deep” thoughts about it, so this is just a book review not me talking out my butt about the importance of pop culture. If you haven’t read the Kate Daniels series – you should go read the books and then read this review. This review is […]
Another Somebody Done Somebody Wrong Song
I shouldn’t have been surprised that a book titled Crimes of the Brothers would be melodramatic. I would even go so far as to call it Gothic, but with better weather. The lovely Mrs. Julien lent this to me after I enjoyed another book she lent, D.L. Carter’s Ridiculous. Poor Miss Catherine Walman suffers through so much one thing after another that I broke into song, “Hey, won’t you play/ another somebody done somebody wrong song/ So please play for me a sad melody/ So […]
How do you decide if someone is human? Or, Why I love Urban Fantasy
The Kate Daniels series by husband and wife writing team Ilona Andrews is one of my favorite urban fantasy series. I love reading fantasy, urban fantasy, science fiction and romance. A big part of my love for these genres is their escapist nature. Another reason I love them is the way we can vicariously thrash through difficult social issues. I tend to read several books at a time, and will often re-read beloved books while reading something newer and/or more challenging. Yesterday I picked up […]
Who am I without it? Nobody, that’s who.
I thought this review was going to be an exercise in amusing myself because the Cannonball Read shares a hashtag (#CBR7) with a tobacco free chew company that targets bull riders. I have a lot of books on my Kindle that I picked up because they were free or super cheap and I was poor and super bored. When I noticed who we were sharing a hashtag with, I remembered that I had a series of contemporary western romance erotica novels by Lorelei James on […]
He’s come undone
I have a stack of books that I am reading and will be reading. Books I selected specifically for CBR7 and my goal of 52 reviews this year. My list is heavy on the scifi and fantasy, but romance keeps sticking it’s pretty nose in my list, so another romance it is. Mrs. Julien kindly lent me Cecila Grant’s novella, A Christmas Gone Perfectly Wrong. I must read it within 2 weeks, so what am I to do, but quickly read and review? Mr. Andrew […]
