The One Where the Gang Heads to Scotland

Stone & Sky by Ben Aaronovitch

by 2 Comments

I zipped through the Rivers of London series last summer and loved it. Then while browsing through the library I found the newest book 10! A very merry un-birthday to me! Our old friend Peter Grant is no longer the wide-eyed little copper we first met. He’s grown into the Starling, an apprentice of the Nightingale but definitely a power in his own right. He’s still with his lovely wife, the river Beverly, and with the two year time jump since the last novel the […]

The Pine Cone (Coven) Society

The Spellshop by Sarah Beth Durst

by Leave a Comment

I accidentally picked up the fat free half & half at the grocery store so I was sorely in need of a cozy comfort read to make up for that tragedy. Librarian Kiela and her trusty assistant Caz firmly believe all books are useful. But when those books are spellbooks rescued from the Great Library in the middle of a revolution in a land where magic is outlawed for the common folk but desperately needed… they are both useful and extremely dangerous. Kiela and Caz […]

A Very Murdery Neighborhood

Finlay Donovan Digs Her Own Grave by Elle Cosimano

by Leave a Comment

If we know one thing by now that Finlay Donovan is really good at, it’s digging a grave. Who’s it going to be this time? Mrs. Haggerty, nosy neighbor extraordinaire and self-appointed president of the neighborhood watch, is in trouble. A body has been discovered in her backyard and she’s been taken in for questioning. Finlay and Vero settle in for a nice relaxing time of minding their own business. But when all the evidence starts pointing at her ex-husband Steven, it’s a race for […]

They Grow Up So Fast

Longshadow by Olivia Atwater

by Leave a Comment

The third novel in Atwater’s regency faerie tale trilogy is a sweet and sapphic delight perfect for Pride.  We had first met young Abigail in the novel Half A Soul– she is the adopted daughter of the Lord Sorcier Elias Wilder and his wife Theodora. The workhouse child has now grown into a mostly proper young lady who just wants to use her unusual magic. She sees the perfect opportunity to investigate the sudden deaths of several of her aristocratic peers. The most likely suspect […]

Just The End of The World

The Dead Take The A Train by Richard Kadrey & Cassandra Khaw

by 4 Comments

This one was intense. I probably should have paid more attention to the terrifying cover illustration. Or maybe not chose to read a gory horror novel while waiting for an inspection at the mechanic. I thought I was going to throw up all over the waiting room. Julie Crews (yes I am humming the Twin Peaks theme song thank you) has been doing the most gruesome, dead end magical jobs in New York City. Now that she’s in her thirties she’s tired of just scraping […]

Crime Hard

Lucky by Marissa Stapley

by Leave a Comment

If I had a nickel for every book I’ve read recently that also has Anya Taylor-Joy starring in an upcoming adaptation, I’d have two nickels which is not a lot but it’s still weird that it happened twice. Lucky Armstrong is having both the best and worst day of her life. She and her boyfriend Cary have pulled off a scam that will allow them to finally run off to live the life of luxury in the Caribbean that they’ve been working towards. Except Cary […]
