Love, Destiny, and the Military Industrial Complex

Wicked Academia: Lost Stars by Jasmine Jenkins, Sophie Suliman

August 24, 2023 by Sarah 1 Comment

Okay, help, I’ve just read a damn good book on Kindle Unlimited and I think that might be a sign of the apocalypse? Hear me out! Essentially, Lost Stars takes place in a universe where a trio of gods fell apart after one went evil, another killed him for it, and the mother goddess prophesied three more children who were supposed to redeem and replace what they all broke. …but then that never happened. Until three total disaster teenagers ruin a national festival and save […]

The Inventor Vol. 1: The Dangerous Discovery by Lars Henrik Eriksen

August 23, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Online reader copies have slowly gotten into my reading “pile” for books. Well, one site has and it is dangerous! Dangerous! But then I got an email from Papercutz. Oh how I enjoy them, but how I grumble at the fact they too are online. Unless I want to wait until the end of January 2024/early February 2024 for The Inventor Vol. 1: The Dangerous Discovery. Which, I did not. As it is, it will be hard enough to wait for volume two of this […]

If you insist on me not dying horribly, I suppose I have to indulge you.

The Magpie Lord by K.J. Charles

A Case of Possession by K.J. Charles

Flight of Magpies by K.J. Charles

August 22, 2023 by carmelpie 2 Comments

You’re a fool, and I’m another. Between us, we barely make a village idiot. ― K.J. Charles, A Case of Possession I see. Things must be bad if you’re voluntarily telling me the truth. ― K.J. Charles, Flight of Magpies “Are you in this conversation, or just skulking?” “Mostly skulking.” Stephen had a particular knack for making himself unobtrusive. He was mildly impressed that he’d been noticed. “But I have a licence to skulk.” ― K.J. Charles, Flight of Magpies CBR15Bingo: Queer Lives square and […]

The Atlas Six by Olivie Blake

August 21, 2023 by carmelpie 3 Comments

Because I would watch the HELL out of it. CBR15Bingo: Sex square. From here she could taste the burning edges of his thoughts. He wasn’t just afraid of something—he was afraid of everything. He hated this house, and the memories in it. The memories themselves were knives, glinting in the light. They pricked her fingers, warning her away. The taste of him on her tongue, real and imagined was burnt sugar, wild adoration, tender rage. Poor thing, poor desperate thing. ― Olivie Blake, The Atlas […]

A prince, an aging dragon, and a mysterious maiden should have gone out for a drink, instead they did a little battle

Three Tasks for a Dragon by Eoin Colfer 

August 21, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I like a good fairy tale, legend, mythology, or folklore story. Therefore, when I saw the cover of  Three Tasks for a Dragon I figured it would be a fun story in that line of storytelling that would be about a dragon and his redemption story. And it is somewhat that; but it is also the loss of innocence, loss of youth, the greed for power, and the magic of true love and cherries. It was the illustrations of P. J. Lynch that kept pulling […]

You Wish Volume One by Jeff Victor

August 21, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I was browsing through my online reading links and found You Wish Volume One. Only I did not realize it was volume one. It looked like a one time graphic novel story. But nope, there will be more. How many I am not sure, but since it is a series probably more than I want to get into as I hate waiting for sequels! But since this Jeff Victor series is not starting until January 2024, I will have a loooooooong while to wait for […]
