Wicked good time

Mellybean and the Wicked Wizard by Mike White

by Leave a Comment

It was a shiny cover. It was a colorful cover. And it was a slippery cover. Mellybean and the Wicked Wizard seemed like a perfectly, fun, easy read I needed to clean my busy brain. And I thought it was the first in the series, as there was no “Book Two” that I could see. And while it is a cute book, read volume one first.

Bingo 18: Shelfie I knew there was going to be some romance going into Deal with the Devil, but I was really hoping the series title “Mercenary Librarians” would be more the focus. Sadly for me, this was definitely more romance than librarian-ness. Set in a somewhat generic dystopic US potentially within my lifetime (maybe, assuming I get close to the triple digit age) after humanity has been devastated by some massive solar flare activity (I liked how this was put in; not a big […]

Oh, you’re the best friend that I ever had (and not bad of a book either)
