Hooray for Magical Talking Plants

The Enchanted Greenhouse by Sarah Beth Durst

by Leave a Comment

What do you call a bee that’s been put under a spell? Bee-witched! Be kind, you can’t expect a magical talking rose who just woke up from a long enchanted sleep to be instantly ready for a comedy special. In which we get to meet Caz’s mom! Once upon a time a lonely little librarian named Terlu Perna cast a forbidden magic spell to create a friend (Caz the spider plant whose story was told in The Spellshop). Her punishment was to be permanently transformed […]

Asil the Great and Powerful

Blind Date with A Werewolf by Patricia Briggs

by Leave a Comment

In which we find out what happens when the most legendary (in his own mind) werewolf in all the land is set up on a series of blind dates. Asil is perfectly content living a reclusive life tending to his flowers. When a Concerned Friend sends him an e-mail informing him that he has been set up on five dates through various websites over the next three weeks, Asil takes it in stride. Who wouldn’t want to spend a delightful evening with all of his […]

Silver And Lead by Seanan McGuire

Toby life hack #19- no one can tell if you’ve gotten covered in blood again if you’re already covered in blood! Life has been pretty uneventful since the end of Titania’s hijacking of faerie reality. Everyone’s just quietly trying to get over their well earned PTSD. Toby herself is about two weeks from giving birth and has been sitting at home enjoying the pampering that Tybalt and her housemates have been smothering her with without going insane at all… Hahahahaha yeah she’s about ten seconds […]

Losers, Misfits, and Boozers

Slow Horses by Mick Herron

by Leave a Comment

Since I’m being cruelly tortured by being forced to wait a whole long week between episodes for the new season I’ve decided to go back and read the first book in the Slough House series. I’m sure waiting patiently is part of MI5 spy training, probably real advanced stuff. It is here we first meet Jackson Lamb and his motley collection of ‘slow horses’. Each one has disgraced themselves in some spectacular way and needs to be relegated somewhere they can’t do any more damage […]

On Halloween night Jet is violently attacked in her wealthy family’s small town Vermont home. She’s left for dead but found by her childhood best friend Billy.

Revenge on a Train

With A Vengeance by Riley Sager

by Leave a Comment

Before embarking on a journey of revenge, dig a lot of graves. More graves than you expect to need and then maybe one more for good luck. You just never know how many you might need to achieve it. Stay flexible. Anna Matheson lost her entire family due to the actions of six people. She’s spent the last twelve years plotting their downfall, culminating in a twelve hour train ride from Philadelphia to Chicago. She’ll confront them with their crimes and then hand them to […]
