Thunderbird shifter hero<Dragon shifter hero

December 22, 2016 by Malin Leave a Comment

2.5 stars I read this TWO months ago, and need to get through this ever-increasing review backlog, hence resorting to the blurb once more: During the rule of her murderous Dark Fae uncle, Thistle “Tricks” Periwinkle found sanctary among the Wyr in New York. Her ethereal beauty and sparkling personality won the hearts of the public, but after her uncle’s death, there are those who don’t want to see her ascend to the throne. Able to wield thunder and lightning, Wyr sentinel Thiago Black Eagle […]

I think many of us would like to visit this library

November 26, 2016 by Malin 2 Comments

3.5 stars Irene is an agent of the Library, a place that exists outside normal space and time. In fact, as long as the agents and librarians that work for the Library are there, they do not age in the slightest. Only when they are out in the different worlds of the multiverse, do they visibly age, and how much depends how time passes in the various worlds they find themselves. As an agent of the Library, Irene is sent to retrieve books that are […]

The Foulest Fowl

November 11, 2016 by Ale 2 Comments

A friend of mine has been trying to get me to read Artemis Fowl for literally years, and I finally conceded. Why did I wait so long to read this book? Why did I keep putting this off? Artemis Fowl is fantastic! Artemis Fowl is a twelve-year-old super genius and the son of a ne’er do well age-old Irish crime family called the Fowls. His father has gone missing after losing a large quantity of the family fortune and his mother has locked herself in […]

For trust not him that hath once broken faith

September 24, 2016 by Malin 3 Comments

This is book ten in an ongoing series, and as such, REALLY not the place to start. While my review may not have too many spoilers about earlier books in the series, there is a whole lot of history in the books before that is required for this book to be fully satisfying to a reader. Start at the beginning with Rosemary and Rue.  After changeling knight and sometime champion of the realm, October “Toby” Daye’s adventures in the Kingdom of the Silences, there is […]

They have both been accepted into the prestigious Melete artists’ colony, where a select few get a full scholarship for a year and a chance to truly hone their art.
