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. […]

When the demon doctor met the demon-slayer

Pleasure Unbound (Demonica #1) by Larissa Ione

by Leave a Comment

Pleasure Unbound by Larissa Ione builds an interesting world of demons that aren’t all evil. The first book in this older paranormal romance series follows Tayla a demon-slayer who meets a demon doctor named Eidolon. He runs a secret demon hospital where he vows to help anyone who is hurt who is in need. Even the beautiful and dangerous ones who plot to kill his kind. Early in the book, Tayla has a shocking revelation that turns her world upside down. She is forced to […]

Maybe I’ll have to keep going with this a while longer

Blue Exorcist vol 25 by Kazue Kato

by Leave a Comment

So I was getting ready to give up on Blue Exorcist on account of it getting borderline maudlin which is pretty bad in combination with upping the ‘drama’ to some pretty dark yet soap-opera-esque levels. I’m actually pretty sure I may have skipped a volume, and I’m pretty sure I didn’t miss much. It’s probably just as well because it looks like things are finally turning a corner with a lot of the things that were turning me off on the series. The basic story […]

Back in Ilona Andrews’ Atlanta, this time with a new protagonist

Blood Heir by Ilona Andrews

by 1 Comment

Info to new readers – while this is the first book in a new series, and as such, should be perfectly accessible to readers completely unaware of Ilona Andrews’ previous books, it references A LOT of stuff that happened in the ten-book Kate Daniels series, as well as in Iron and Magic, a spin-off book of that series. I would highly recommend that you start there. Aurelia Ryder arrives back in Atlanta after an eight-year absence, trying to keep her presence mostly under the radar. The last time […]

So much angst and pining and a big sabre-toothed snow cat (Double Cannonball!)

A Touch of Stone and Snow by Milla Vane

by 2 Comments

Official book description (cause I haven’t finished the book yet): Danger lurks in the western realms. The Destroyer’s imminent return has sent the realms into turmoil as desperate citizens seek refuge—but there’s no safety to be found when demons and wraiths crawl out from the shadows. Even Koth, a northern island kingdom left untouched by the Destroyer a generation past, is besieged by terrors spawned from corrupt magics. When Lizzan leads the Kothan army against these terrors, only to see her soldiers massacred and to […]
