Good old fashioned pop culture salutes

Villains' Vignettes Volume 1 by Drew Hayes

July 23, 2023 by CoffeeShopReader Leave a Comment

Bingo 4: Hold Steady Drew Hayes has been one of very few authors who has been both reasonably consistent and prolific without getting dull; he’s also a favorite of mine, so for all those reasons, he counts as Holding Steady. What’s new is that Villains’ Vignettes Vol 1 is a story without a connecting plot building; the three tales are a bit long to be short stories, so maybe we’ll call them novelettes. The style somehow manages to be straightforward but still have snappy dialogue […]

Which World is Really the Game?

Noble Roots by Drew Hayes

June 11, 2022 by CoffeeShopReader Leave a Comment

One of my least favorite fantasy adventure tropes is the tournament arc; often there’s virtually no plot, no character development, just a lot of fights with miraculous and/or unexpected power-ups. About half of Drew Haye’s Noble Roots, books 5 of the Spells, Swords, & Stealth series, goes here. I suppose it was kind of inevitable that this happen since the series is based on two premises: what happens when you focus on the NPCs in a D&D-style game and their lives when they aren’t interacting […]

If you thought they couldn’t reboot a book, you were wrong!

Super Powereds: Year One by Drew Hayes

October 31, 2021 by crystalclear Leave a Comment

Super Powereds: Year One By Drew Hayes So, Drew Hayes is my favorite author.  My favorite series of his is his Super Powereds series (which I’ve reviewed twice already for Cannonball!)  I am in love with Kyle McCarley as an audiobook reader (and I even follow him on Twitch to support him and to hear him talk!)  So when I saw that they were rerecording the audiobooks, I was taken aback.  Why mess with perfection?  Kyle McCarley’s voices were the voices of the characters!  How […]

House hunting and Lessons in Leadership for Vampires

Out of House and Home by Drew Hayes

July 24, 2021 by CoffeeShopReader Leave a Comment

Bingo 7: Home This one was just kind of fortuitous; I wanted to read Fred the Vampire Accountant #7 which has just recently been published, and it just so happened to be perfect for this square, being titled Out of House and Home. It’s not just the title either, the book is actually about losing and finding both literal and metaphorical home. The book opens a little while after the final events of book 6 (a wedding); Fred and company are getting back to their […]

What’s Your Flavor of Ice Cream?

Bones of the Past by Drew Hayes

February 7, 2021 by CoffeeShopReader Leave a Comment

Villain’s Code 1 may have been the first thing by Drew Hayes that I read. Now that it was finally time for a sequel, I was kind of excited to see that world again. Villain’s Code 2 is titled Bones of the Past and that’s pretty much an accurate description on a couple of levels. First, the main focus of book 1, Tori, who is now a new villain starting to find her place in the world, is not as much the focus; but she’s […]

Bones of the Past by Drew Hayes

February 3, 2021 by J Leave a Comment

Bones of the Past picks up a few months after Forging Hephaestus left off. Tori, Beverly, and Chloe are sharing an apartment. Doctor Mechaniacal is rebuilding the Guild’s home base. Donald, Rem, and their teammates are doing what they can to regain the public’s trust now that everything is out in the open. And Lodestar is back on duty, fending off alien invasions in between PTA meetings. Life returns to normal. (That Nexus comment at the end of FH, though? You won’t find the resolution […]
