Another rather forgettable Harris book

Midnight Crossroad by Charlaine Harris

December 12, 2019 by Malin Leave a Comment

Official book description: Welcome to Midnight, Texas, a town with many boarded-up windows and few full-time inhabitants, located at the crossing of Witch Light Road and Davy Road. It’s a pretty standard dried-up western town. There’s a pawnshop (someone lives in the basement and is seen only at night). There’s a diner (people who are just passing through tend not to linger). And there’s new resident Manfred Bernardo, who thinks he’s found the perfect place to work in private (and who has secrets of his […]

Azoth is an impoverished child […]

Gin Bianco is an assassin. She won’t shut up about it, in fact

July 31, 2014 by Malin 7 Comments

Gin Blanco is an assassin. She goes under the name The Spider. Her weapon of choice is knives and she’s very good at her job, something she will rarely shut up about, even in times when people are trying to kill her. Gin lives in a world where there are a number of elementals, controlling fire, ice, earth, air, water, stone, even electricity and the like. Gin is a stone elemental and can also control ice. If you forget, she’ll remind you every third chapter […]

    I laughed so hard at trying to get Ted Chiang and ending up with David Chang.
