I love me some werewolves. I love me some Baltimore. I love me some gay romance. You’d think I’d love me this book. Sadly, I did not. This book unfortunately pushes a lot of my “nope” buttons, but I do understand that there are a lot of people out there for whom this book will be catnip. Erm. Whatever the werewolf version of catnip is. It starts with a sex scene. Two cops, partners Logan and Dylan, are getting hot and heavy in their off-hours. One […]
I guess this clears things up?
After loving Annihilation (Book 1 in the Southern Reach trilogy), and not really loving, but not hating Authority (Book 2), I was excited for Acceptance, which is book 3, and the final book in the trilogy. Acceptance starts pretty much right after Authority. Control and Ghost Bird (the new name for the biologist) are back in Area X, and further explore its mysteries. The stories of the psychologist (from Annihilation), Ghost Bird, Control, and the former lighthouse keeper are told during different time points throughout […]
The guys behind figuring out Area X
As soon as I finished Annihilation, I got Authority from the library. While I was there, I grabbed the final book in the trilogy too, so I wouldn’t have to wait to finish them all. I was sad to discover that the first book was my favorite though. This second book in the trilogy was my second favorite though. It centers on a man named “Control”, who is the new director of the agency that studies Area X. We don’t get much backstory initially about […]
Cannonballing quadruply with this slightly blasphemous, yet still wonderful book.
So this review is not going to be great, because it’s crunch time and I’m trying to get my last review of the year in before we get shut out of the site and/or I have to get back to work. But oh man, such a good book to make my first quadruple Cannonball with! THIS BOOK SPEAKS TO ME. I’ve actually owned a hard copy for years and years and never bothered to pick it up, and that is so frustrating. I could have […]
This was a terrible book.
I mentioned in my review of the first volume of Grounded that I hadn’t read a Superman comic since at least 1997, so this series being my first in that span of time is in retrospect, a tragedy. This book is not good. It makes me question whether or not they even make Superman comics that are good. I have some ostensibly good ones on my TBR list, but as far as I have actual knowledge, Superman in comics is boring, pompous, overwritten, and stupid. […]
A beginning without much substance, but some promise
3.5 stars Agatha Clay (although I’m going to assume that this is an assumed name, since she has another one in the TITLE of the book) is one of those diligent students, who no matter how much she wants to suceed just can’t seem to. She’s almost constantly late, she can’t really seem to make her inventions work and she’s a laughing stock at the Transylvania Polygnostic University. To make matters work, during a weird electrical incident in town, she’s robbed and her precious locket, […]
