Creatures In The Mist

Starling House by Alix E. Harrow

by Leave a Comment

All the creepy existential dread your gothic little heart could desire. Opal is scratching out a meager existence in Eden, Kentucky- a small town plagued by more than its fair share of bad luck. With no remorse she will lie, cheat, and steal in service of a better life for her younger brother out of this miserable place. Opal is offered a surprisingly well paid job as housekeeper at Starling House. She knows she shouldn’t take the job, she knows there’s something wrong with the […]

Rivers of London

Midnight Riot by Ben Aaronovitch

by 1 Comment

I’m so glad I finally took the plunge (into the river wink wink nudge nudge) and started this series! Peter Grant is a police officer at the beginning of his career in London, a career that seems destined more for the never-ending paperwork division than the exciting chasing down dastardly criminals type. One night he receives some crucial information about a very strange murder from a witness who happens to be a ghost. This brings Peter to the attention of Detective Chief Inspector Nightingale, the […]

Happy Birthday to Me!

Sleep No More by Seanan McGuire

The Innocent Sleep by Seanan McGuire

by 10 Comments

I got to read two October Daye books basically at once. Thanks so much Seanan McGuire for doing that just for me personally for this my birthday (I am in no way responsible for any of this). October Daye is a changeling living in the fair queen Titania’s perfect faerie court. She lives safely nestled in her beloved family’s tower, which is more than most changelings get and October is very grateful for her privilege. Though she and her sister do have to keep chasing […]

A “BookTok sensation” I actually enjoyed. It’s a Christmas miracle! Evie Sage has a family to support but no employment prospects until a chance encounter with The Villain changes her life. She’s now the personal assistant to the kingdom’s deadliest foe. Evie finds that she has a talent for arranging daring heists and managing the evil minions. All is not well in her world though; Evie must search the office to find the traitor trying to spoil The Villain’s dastardly plans against the king. Full […]

Another Cozy Fantasy

Bookshops & Bonedust by Travis Baldree

by Leave a Comment

I’ve been very much in the mood lately (absolutely always) for stories that feel like a mental warm hug. This being the prequel to Baldree’s lovely Legends & Lattes, we encounter our old friend Viv at the beginning of her mercenary journey. It is not going very well. Viv is very badly injured while being reckless in pursuit of a famous necromancer. The mercenary company she belongs to drop her off in a sleepy seaside town to rest and recuperate before hopefully coming back for […]

Is there anything more terrifying than hearing your boss say “we’re a family!”? Harper Cruz is broke and jobless in NYC. When her friend shows her a job posting offering triple her last salary, of course she sends out her resume. In less than 24 hours Harper is the newest Visionary Support Strategist for self-help influencer Charlotte Green.
