Oh Stephanie

Now Or Never by Janet Evanovich

February 3, 2025 by finnyfinfinn Leave a Comment

You know I love you girl, but I need you to look at your life. I need you to look at your choices. There’s really no way to not spoil the heck out of the thirty-first book in this series. I’ll do my best to put the really spoily stuff at the bottom though in case you have decided to catch up. This is a comfort series for me; you know what you’re getting before you even start reading. Stephanie is going to have to […]

Accidentally Scandalous

Half A Soul by Olivia Atwater

January 29, 2025 by finnyfinfinn Leave a Comment

Was I expecting to read the most spot on description of depression I’ve ever seen in a frothy regency faerie tale? I most certainly was not, but I loved it. Theodora Ettings lost half of her soul as a child to a vengeful fairy who had made a bargain with her mother. She is now drifting through her days with only half the amount of feelings that she should have. Having very little sense of embarrassment or fear is quite the drawback for a young […]

What kind of pastry are you?

The Teller of Small Fortunes by Julie Leong

January 11, 2025 by finnyfinfinn 3 Comments

It’s cold outside my friends. Let’s snuggle up under the covers with a cup of something warm and this lovely cozy fantasy. I think I’d be a simple chocolate brownie, super sweet and delightfully squishy. Tao is a traveling fortune teller, drifting from village to village in a wagon pulled by her trusty mule Laohu. It’s a solitary life made less lonely when a small fortune causes a former thief and an ex-mercenary to join her in her travels as they search for a lost […]

A Masterclass In Gaslighting

I Need You To Read This by Jessa Maxwell

December 22, 2024 by finnyfinfinn Leave a Comment

Kudos to Maxwell for creating such an intensely uneasy atmosphere. Halfway through I was convinced most of the characters were imaginary, maybe the events happening weren’t happening, am I even reading this book? By the time I was about to roar through the last 100 pages I was questioning whether I was imaginary. We begin with the brutal murder of beloved advice columnist Francis Keen. Less than a year later the crime remains unsolved but her position as the beloved ‘Dear Constance’ writer needs to […]

Netflix Vibes

Breaking The Dark by Lisa Jewell

December 19, 2024 by finnyfinfinn Leave a Comment

This is apparently the first in a series of Marvel adult crime thrillers. I was just glad to spend some time picturing Krysten Ritter as Jessica Jones again. Bring her back Marvel! In true Jessica Jones fashion, our friend is not doing so great. She spends her days fighting a killer hangover and solving crimes in New York City, One morning a wealthy mother comes to her door asking for Jessica’s help. She’s convinced something strange happened to her teenage twins when they were visiting […]

Return to Massacre Manor

Apprentice To The Villain by Hannah Nicole Maehrer

December 18, 2024 by finnyfinfinn 4 Comments

I ended last year’s Cannonball with Assistant to the Villain so I think it’s quite appropriate that my hold for the second book in this fabulous series came in just in time for this one. I’ll try to keep it as non-spoilery as possible but get ready for more wacky hijinks! Now having said that the first book did end on a big ol cliffhanger that really almost killed me having to wait a whole year to find out what happens. You’ll be pleased to […]
