Maybe that’s how you fool other empaths, like, “hey baby, you just be your high-strung self and let me handle all that scary danger,” but respectfully, Agent Dead Man, I’m pretty sure you are the scary danger.

Liar City by Allie Therin

February 17, 2023 by Emmalita 1 Comment

Note: the Harper Collins Publishers Union and the NewsCorp have reached an agreement and the union has accepted the contract! I’ve been waiting to talk about Liar City for weeks!!!!! Allie Therin writes wonderful queer urban fantasy, and I would love for more people to start reading her books. I have enjoyed her historical fantasy series and was intrigued to see what she would do with a contemporary alternate universe. Folks, I loved it. Liar City opens with a mysterious phone call at 4 am […]

Proper Scoundrels

“If you want to be the villain of the two of us, I’m sorry, but you’ll have to try harder.”

Proper Scoundrels by Allie Therin

January 4, 2022 by llamareadsbooks 2 Comments

This is a spin-off of the author’s Magic in Manhattan series, which I absolutely adored. I was a little worried about this book because it stars two somewhat villains (and afraid I would miss the characters from the previous book, Arthur and Rory) but this book is just as excellent as the previous ones. While it’s not directly connected to the previous series, I don’t think it would work without some knowledge of it (and this review will contain spoilers for that series). “I’m the […]

The Territorial Lecherous Moth and The Dangerous Marshmallow

Proper Scoundrels by Allie Therin

November 26, 2021 by Emmalita Leave a Comment

Proper Scoundrels is a spin off from Therin’s Magic in Manhattan series. The adventures of Sebastian and Lord Fine won’t make much sense if you haven’t read the series, but you should read the series. It is excellent and Therin built a wonderful world while writing it. I’m so glad she’s writing past Arthur and Rory, and that we get to spend more time with Jade and Zhang. Wesley, Lord Fine, feels separated from the world by his title, and by his experience as a […]

Wonderstruck

“Choose a new path, a new adventure.”

Wonderstruck by Allie Therin

April 4, 2021 by llamareadsbooks 1 Comment

I have loved this Prohibition-era paranormal series since the moment we first met Rory, and I was a little worried going in because I knew this was the third and final book. How would the entire situation with Baron Zeppler be taken care of? Whose side are Gwen and Ellis really on? What about the relationship hiccups between Rory and Arthur? And, most importantly to me, would Arthur ever take Rory to his beloved Italy? And yes, all these questions are answered and more. “It’s […]

A strong finish to a nicely done series.

Wonderstruck by Allie Therin

February 1, 2021 by Emmalita Leave a Comment

Wonderstruck is a strong finish for Allie Therin’s historical urban fantasy series, Magic in Manhattan. To recap, Arthur “Ace” Kensie is the younger son of a wealthy and politically powerful New York family. As a lieutenant in the army fighting in WWI, he discovered that magic exists. Though he has no magic, he becomes part of an unofficial group of magic users trying to protect the world from paranormals who want to use magic for evil reasons. Theodore “Rory” Brodigan (not his real name) is […]

I wish this had been longer and more fleshed out. #CBRBingo – Cannonballer Says

Spellbound (Magic in Manhattan, #1) by Allie Therin

September 15, 2020 by narfna 2 Comments

This was a solid first novel, and a good start to this fantasy/romance series. This is paranormal/fantasy romance set in 1925, where some people have paranormal powers but most don’t, and magic is a well kept secret. Our main characters are Rory Brodigan, a scryer, who can see the history of any object, and Arthur Kenzie, a politician’s son who fought in WWI, and who uses his wealth to employ paranormals to keep the world safe. Rory is caught up in their net when a […]
