Young love and demon hunting

Mooncakes by Suzanne Walker and Wendy Xu

by Leave a Comment

CBR14 Bingo: Cozy (this is a super-sweet YA comic. While there are some dark themes, the main vibe here is absolutely cozy.) Nova Huang (she/her) is an orphaned young witch, although she sees the ghosts of her parents during each major holiday, and sometimes just when they feel she might need advice or a good talking to. She lives with her two grandmothers, who sell books of both the mundane and magical varieties. Tam (they/them) on the other hand, seems to have been on their […]

Double Cannonballing with Canadian Zombies, Necromancers, and Demons

One Heart by Chace Verity

by 9 Comments

Chace Verity is one of my favorite authors of the past couple of years. Their soft Canadian demon romances are delightful, weird, and fun. They also acknowledge and address the frustrations of existing in late stage capitalism with it’s dehumanization and the constant grind of mere existence. In One Heart, they give us a true romance where the love interest dies early in the book and then raise their middle fingers at Canada’s far Right. Perfect for spooky season election season. (If you can register […]

Meesh is a GOOD demon!

Meesh the Bad Demon Volume One by Michelle Lam

by Leave a Comment

cbr14bingo #Monster #LevelTwoAt first, I thought Meesh the Bad Demon Volume One was going to be too sugary sweet for me. And I will not lie, it is terribly sweet, but not overly sweet. Okay, some people will think way too sweet, but I did not. I thought Meesh was a cute, fun, adorable little demon who puts herself whole heartily into what she loves. Which are fairies, princesses, flowers, and her grandmother. But you see, Meesh is a demon, and they are not supposed […]

Old School Hollywood with Demon Deals

Siren Queen by Nghi Vo

by Leave a Comment

Holy crap, I want more! Siren Queen is the story of Luli Wei, a star who stole her sister’s name to become famous and became the monster in many films, but also managed to find love and friendship outside the monstrous side of Hollywood. There are elements of this that remind me of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, mainly the narration style and the old Hollywood setting. But do not go into Siren Queen expecting the same story or same kinds of characters. Luli […]

Finally an HEA (sort of) for Rachel Morgan

The Undead Pool by Kim Harrison

by 3 Comments

I’ve hit my half-Cannonball with one of my favorite books of the year. I had hoped for a proper 52 books cannonball, but alas, life happened. I’ve been reviewing The Hollows series by Kim Harrison nearly every Cannonball Read challenge. I was SO close to catching up with the original ending of the series. That is until Harrison restarted it last year with American Demon. I love how has the whole Inderland community in her stories: witches, demons, vampires, werewolves, fairies, elves, pixies, you name it. […]
