Meesh is a GOOD demon!

Meesh the Bad Demon Volume One by Michelle Lam

July 15, 2022 by BlackRaven 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 […]

“The impossible we do immediately. The unimaginable takes a little while.”

Cold Days (Dresden Files #14) by Jim Butcher

April 2, 2022 by ardaigle Leave a Comment

In one word: Busy I finished reading this over a month ago and am now clawing my way through a backlog of tardy reviews on this snowy Midwestern APRIL day. Snowy. APRIL. DAY. In what we are calling Spring I guess? Ruuuuude. But I digress. When I dig into the recesses of my mind about this book, not much is surfacing, which isn’t a great sign. This book was reminiscent of an SNL Stefon skit. Bear with me here. For the unfamiliar, Stefon is an […]

Finally an HEA (sort of) for Rachel Morgan

The Undead Pool by Kim Harrison

December 29, 2021 by teresaelectro 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. […]

How the Heroine Lost Her Appeal

How the Multiverse Got Its Revenge by K. Eason

January 3, 2021 by CoffeeShopReader Leave a Comment

I had thought to finish How The Multiverse Got Its Revenge for 2020 since I’d just reviewed the first book in the series, but I wasn’t quite fast enough. As sequels go, this was pretty average. The action picks up not too long after the concluding events of the first novel, with Rupert, Grytt, and Ivar on their sheep farm on Lanscott, and Rory, Jaed, Zhang, and Thorsdottir basically doing some free-lance piracy/salvage work in some remote corner of space. One of the fairies appears […]

When Fairies want your head and you just want to go home

Sparrowhawk (Books 1 to 5) by Delilah S. Dawson

March 17, 2020 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

If Alice in Wonderland and Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Fight Club and One Flew Over the Cuckoo Nest got together, this might be the results. Sparrowhawk (Books 1 to 5) is one “wild, crazy, disturbing, odd, funny, brightly light and dark all at once, and our train is flying off the tracks” ride. Delilah S. Dawson (even their name is beautiful and mysterious and slightly creepy) created a modern Alice in Wonderland, where “Alice” grows wings, uses a big a$$ swords, kills monsters and […]

Try not to be too crabby that this does not come out until August

Crabapple Trouble by Kaeti VanDorn

February 25, 2020 by BlackRaven 4 Comments

Due to the cover of Crabapple Trouble I was worried this might be some really bad acid trip. That fear continued when, I noticed heads did not always meet body in the illustrations and later, heads literally roll away after “popping off” of their bodies. I am assuming kids will be okay with Kaeti VanDorn’s realistic-abstract-unique characters which are sentient fruits and vegetables. But I can see some adults being unnerved by them. After all, the characters are Farmers which technically farm themselves (the lemon […]
