[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1boUYB9LFJY&w=560&h=315] Katie: Okay, lemme just start out by saying that I’ve been pleasantly surprised by how good the Hellsinger series has been so far. They have terrible titles, but that isn’t the fault of the books. Rhys Ford, please, for the love of a good book, ask if you need help with titles. You can leave a comment below or find me on Twitter. Patty: Yeah, the first one was OK: Fish and Ghosts, a play on fish and guests and the whole three […]

“This could be heaven, or this could be hell…” This week’s review is brought to you Don Henley’s righteous white man’s afro. [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MSvSsNSuVtk&w=420&h=315] Katie: This may come as a surprise to some of you, but I believe in ghosts, so it’s kind of ironic (or something, anyway) that this week’s selection is about a “Ghostbuster” named Wolf Hellsinger and a children’s book author/illustrator named Tristan Pryce who sees dead people. After all, my middle school looks like it should be haunted, I grew up […]
In which I realize how well a mother knows her child(ren)
I feel like I should warn you upfront: Marti Dumas, the author of the delightful Jala and the Wolves, was a bosom bow of my childhood. We met in fifth grade when we were assigned desks next to each other at a public school in New Orleans, and immediately recognized each other as kindred spirits. We shared a love of books, making fortune tellers or swans out of folded paper, and giggling over terrible movies when we’d spend the night at each other’s homes. We […]
I Love Rock ‘n’ Roll…
…okay, not really, but THEME, people, THEME! (And make sure to click on the gifs for maximum viewing pleasure…) [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A4cFIzr85cU&w=420&h=315] Katie: Something interesting happened on the way to the bookstore: Kristen Ashley has evidently written a book I don’t hate. After deciding we were finished (at least for a while) with J.R. Ward, I had the bright idea that it might be fun to do a Kristen Ashley. Since Kindle is ALWAYS pushing her Rock Chick series, we started with book one which is […]
Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don’t
Patty: There is dream fulfillment fantasy and then there is the Book of Butch. A human ex-cop originally from Southie, Butch has been adopted, for lack of a better word, by the Black Dagger Brotherhood. He is like their little human sidekick, allowed to hang out with them and sit at the cool vamp cafeteria table. Since the dude can actually go out in sunlight, he comes in handy when they need him to like, I don’t know… go to Costco or run DMV errands. […]
Whip it! Whip it good!
Today’s review is brought to you by the unnecessary letter Z… Patty: OMG that that title is just the right amount of wrong. But seriously, how are we going to banter about this one? There is nothing funny or lighthearted about it. Katie: Phatty brings up a good point. Lover Awakened, the third installment in J.R. Ward’s Black Dagger Brotherhood series, is no laughing matter. Maybe we need to switch gears and do a serious review this time. First though, I need Bella, the female […]
