Oceans Downton Abbey Eight

The Housekeepers by Alex Hay

September 10, 2024 by finnyfinfinn Leave a Comment

Never mess with the housekeepers; they know where all the bodies are buried. Mrs. King has just been let go from her position as head housekeeper at the extravagant Park Lane estate. Everything is going according to plan. The master of the house has recently passed and his daughter is determined to throw an audacious and slightly inappropriate costume ball. That’s the night that Mrs. King is going to rob Park Lane of every elegant possession. She and her group of carefully chosen accomplices are […]

Follow Your Heart

Not Your Crush’s Cauldron by April Asher

August 27, 2024 by finnyfinfinn Leave a Comment

She needs a new place to live and he just happens to have some extra space. Forced proximity never leads to romantic shenanigans! I’m sure they’ll be respectful roommates who barely see each but always clean the bathroom. Just kidding, that’s probably a step too far into fantasy. Here we have the story of the last Maxwell triplet, Olive. Olive is a college professor who leaves the wild magical hi-jinks to her sisters in favor of a more low key life. When she assigns her […]

The Beachiest of Reads

The Perfect Couple by Elin Hilderbrand

August 13, 2024 by finnyfinfinn Leave a Comment

Very soon to be a series on Netflix starring Nicole Kidman. Suddenly I have the urge to recite the AMC commercial monologue- We come to this place for magic… somehow heartbreak feels good in a place like this… They could be talking about the lovely island of Nantucket, where Celeste Otis and Benji Winbury are set to be married this weekend. The groom’s mother has arranged a lavish ceremony on the family’s estate. Its full steam ahead on the wedding of the summer until the […]

An Excellent Heist

A Tempest of Tea by Hafsah Faizal

June 18, 2024 by finnyfinfinn 1 Comment

An Arthurian heist novel featuring a tea shop by day and a blood bar by night? I’m in, I’m hooked, let’s gooooo! Arthie Casimir owns Spindrift, the aforementioned tea shop, collecting secrets from the aristocracy while serving tea while also providing a safe haven for vampires and her ragtag band of orphans. She is infamous for literally pulling her pistol from a stone. Jin Casimir is her adopted brother and right hand man. All is going well for the dynamic duo until Spindrift is threatened […]

Lovers to Enemies to Lovers

Not Your Ex’s Hexes by April Asher

May 30, 2024 by finnyfinfinn Leave a Comment

This is an adorable little supernatural romantic comedy in which two people have a one night stand and then part ways never to see each other again but remember the other fondly… Just kidding, this one also goes exactly as you’d expect. Rose Maxwell had been training all her life to represent the witches on the Supernatural Council. As her sister Violet discovered her magic in the last book and now has to take her rightful spot as the Prima, Rose has been a bit […]

Kaiju Holmes

The Tainted Cup by Robert Jackson Bennett

May 1, 2024 by finnyfinfinn 3 Comments

A Holmes and Watson style mystery set in a high fantasy world reminiscent of Attack On Titan or Pacific Rim. Dinios Kol is an engraver. An engraver can permanently engrave memories in their mind and retrieve them at any time by inhaling different scents. He is the brand new assistant to Ana Dolabra, a brilliant but extremely eccentric Iudex investigator who is apparently in some sort of great disgrace, banished to a backwater town by the sea walls. In a nearby town a high ranking […]
