“You rescue me. I rescue you. That’s how this works.”

Hell Bent by Leigh Bardugo

February 16, 2023 by Malin 2 Comments

This is the second book in the Alex Stern series. This review will contain some spoilers for the first book in the series, Ninth House because I’m not sure how to review it without referencing things that happened in the last book. So if you’re new to this series, start there. Darlington is still missing, “in Spain” to those not in the know, and in Hell, possibly dead to those initiated in the secrets of Lethe House. Galaxy “Alex” Stern doesn’t have a lot of […]

Family secrets and a ghost story

Black Water Sister by Zen Cho

January 28, 2023 by persnickety chick 1 Comment

I do love the tagline- She was trouble, so is her ghost. First book of the year (well first review), first CBR Passport book (book about another country).  This was a book that i suggested for my IRL book club (because i already owned it), so the review considers their responses as well. While I have owned “Sorcerer to the Crown” for a number of years I have never quite gotten into it and it took reading a book of short stories by Zen Cho […]

Serious and light Philosophy

The Holy Ghost: A Spirited Comic by John Hendrix

January 9, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I have started and included in reviews that I am not a religious person. I respect people’s different faiths, but I have never been one to believe in a God or even Gods (though plural gods do make more sense than a single god or goddess to me). I would like to think I am spiritual though and try to be a good person (the book mentions this, more on that later), and I do enjoy the experiences of different books. And when I first […]

“Stories aren’t fiction. Stories are fabric. They’re the white sheets we drape over our ghosts so we can see them.”

Other Birds by Sarah Addison Allen

December 31, 2022 by ardaigle 2 Comments

I’ve loved Sarah Addison Allen’s books since the 2007 Garden Spells (the first of the Waverly family books) and have eagerly been waiting for this one since her last book out was in 2015 (the second Waverly family book). I often recommend her to someone looking for something light and charming, as she typically weaves together magical realism with small-town charm, great for a bit of escapism or some relaxation. This book has a very different tone and while I think it’s a good book, […]

Why didn’t this place have an elevator? A magical one full of morphine.

Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo

December 29, 2022 by carmelpie Leave a Comment

She could hear Darlington’s voice in her head: When was the first time you saw them? Low and halting, as if he wasn’t sure whether the question was taboo. But the real question, the right question, was: When was the first time you knew to be afraid? Alex was glad he’d never had the sense to ask. ― Leigh Bardugo, Ninth House Ninth house refers to Lethe house, the watchers and keepers over the magic practices of the “Ancient Eight” houses, or magical societies at […]

Talk about being Ghosted

Forever Home by Jenna Ayoub

December 13, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

We talk about pets having a forever home, but sometimes people need them, too. And it is not because they are homeless, or need adoption, but because they and their family will travel a lot, such as being in the service. And Willow, is one of those people. When her family moves to Hadleigh House and promise this is the last move, Willow is overjoyed and will do anything to stay. Even match wits with four ghosts (two spicy sisters (one has a thing about […]
