I Am Alice by Joseph Delaney
Sigh. This just dragged. I excitedly bought this one but it took me from March until June to finish this one. I am not looking forward to book #13 and was told it was a letdown, so maybe that’s why I wasn’t in such a rush to finish this one. This dragged, and the cop-out towards the end so the prophecy they have been screeching about for about 11 books no longer matters was a mess. I just wish that Delaney had focused on the […]
Slither by Joseph Delaney
I finished Slither around 2 am today and honestly this was just not good. You know all the ways that made “I Am Grimalkin” so fantastic? Totally missing here. It doesn’t help that even though she shows up, we don’t get her POV which maybe would have helped. Instead we stay in the head of Slither (a terrible character) and Nessa (an oldest daughter forced to have to deal with the fact her father sold her into slavery and certain death). Also there is way […]
The Lure of the Dead by Joseph Delaney
Well well well. I knew certain people were full of it, and this book shows us who they are. At this point all is revealed to Tom and he is left with a terrible choice. He either lets the Fiend bring the dark (and honestly who cares at this point) or he has to kill someone he loves to stop him forever. This whole book was just the Spook being shown he is not up to the task of being the Spook and things more […]
Grimalkin the Witch Assassin by Joseph Delaney
Wow. Just wow. This honestly is the best book I have read in the series and it is now my favorite. This book had everything and even at one point had me in tears. I loved the insight it gave us to Grimalkin, why she was so focused on destroying the Fiend, and what it means to her to be a witch assassin. “Grimalkin the Witch Assassin” is told in the POV of Grimalkin. Each chapter has her talking to someone (you quickly find out […]
Rage of the Fallen by Joseph Delaney
Rubs eyes. At this point I think that the series is going to have each book with Tom traveling to each country that has ever been in a matter of days and have him take out another big bad. This book always cements the fact that Tom is a Gary Sue. And that Alice is the best thing ever and maybe that is who we should have been following all along. “Rage of the Fallen” has our merry trio (not really) traveling to Ireland to […]
Rise of the Huntress by Joseph Delaney
I don’t know why Goodreads showed me giving this four stars, I did not. This was three stars, at best. Taking up soon after the events in Greece and Tom and Alice doing something really dumb (again) we have the two of them and the Spook returning home and realizing it’s been destroyed and the County has been overrun. They decide to flee to the island of Mona and once again, they have some evil doers out there, some in league with the Fiend (again) […]
