Meddling Kids: A Novel by Edgar Cantero

by Leave a Comment

The What If of this book can be summed up as: What if Mystery, Inc., had actually tangled with chthonic beasts and didn’t realize it until their mid-twenties? What I thought of Meddling Kids? Well, that’s a bit of a mystery, too.

Another Question for Some Other Midnight

Hogtown Market (Feral Seasons Book 2) by Marianne Kirby

by Leave a Comment

Hank Goodness is back — from a lot of things — and in Hogtown Market she trades one kind of trouble for about seven or so more. I had a habit of going along and being easy until I had an idea of what might happen next, but experience had taught me some good reasons not to do that anymore. (All quotes from the kindle version and I don’t have page numbers, sorry; title of this post is also a novel pull-quote) Minor spoilers ahead. Also, a side note of a sort: I am usually either the person who sits […]

Stars-Crossed

Witchmark by C.L. Polk

by 2 Comments

Once upon a time, witches used to guide the dead to the afterlife. These days, in the world of Witchmark, only Storm Singers matter: witches are either guaranteed to go mad and require confinement in asylums or, if highborn enough, to be enslaved to the Storm Singers, who will use them as magical batteries, and breeders of the next generation of magical batteries. And what happens to the dead? Most folk assume they find their own way, I would guess.

Killer Queen

Hell's Princess: The Mystery of Belle Gunness, Butcher of Men by Harold Schechter

by Leave a Comment

  I honest to the heavens thought I’d reviewed this one. The short version is: True crime fans/Murderinos will probably enjoy this one. I’m not sure anyone else will; the subject matter is pretty grim and the person in question warped like HH Holmes. Lizzie Borden may have killed her father and stepmother with an axe, but Belle Gunness killed a hell of a lot more, including her own children.

I was so much older then/I’m younger than that now

As you might guess from some of my other posts, I am enough of an Internet Old that this was a re-read for me. I thought it held up beautifully.

Timing is Everything

Dead Wake: The last crossing of the Lusitainia by Erik Larson

by 1 Comment

Dead Wake: The Last Crossing of the Lusitania is another piece of historical non-fiction by Erik Larson, who brought us The Devil in the White City. It isn’t quite as gripping a read as its predecessor, but it’s definitely worth your time. Told from about four points of view (the German U-boat that sinks her, the passengers on the Lusitania and her captain, President Woodrow Wilson, and Room 40 of the British Intelligence Service), the book addresses the build-up to the US’s entrance into The Great War (World War I).   The submarine as a weapon had come a long way […]

The Librarian by Mikhail Elizarov (tr. Andrew Bromfield)

This was a CBR Book Exchange gift from a couple of years ago; I thought I found it from a review on here but apparently not! I’m not quite sure what to make of this book, which isn’t to say I disliked it.

Impossible, Improbable, the Truth

The Science of Sherlock Holmes: From Baskerville Hall to the Valley of Fear, the Real Science behind the Great Detective's Greatest Cases by E.J. Wagner

by Leave a Comment

It would be heartening to believe that the misalliance between myth and medicine is at an end and that today murders are examined only through the prism of the scientific method, but this is a comfort we may not have. – Kindle Edition location 2253 It took me a while to finish this one, and in the end it wasn’t really the book I wanted, alas.
