In which Siege reads a flawed but fun mystery novel with a tough female protagonist.
Totally hit my outer space spot
I am struggling to write this review because The Explorers, by James Smythe, is one of those books that is definitely greatly enhanced by going into it blind. All I knew of it when I started it was that it was a suspense book set on a spaceship. It took a while for the suspense aspect to really emerge, and even then it was not at all what I typically picture when I hear the word “suspense”, but boy was this book a great ride. […]
You’re a wizard, Peter. Well, an apprentice, anyway…
Peter Grant is a probationary officer with the London Metropolitan Police when he, one night takes a witness statement from an individual who just happens to be a ghost. Unusual as this is, it saves Peter from a life of tedium in the Case Progression Unit (basically doing other cops’ paperwork for them) and to the attention of Inspector Nightingale, who just happens to be a wizard. Peter becomes the first wizard’s apprentice in England for more than 50 years, but Harry Potter this is […]
The tiny blonde one is growing up and progressing as a detective
Disclaimer! I was given an ARC of this through NetGalley in return for a fair and unbiased review. Readers should be aware that this is the second book of Veronica Mars mysteries.

Yeah, I Need A Hug

Then read Robert Pobi’s American Woman, this book will suit all your squicky needs! Let me first say that my mom recommended this book to me. This reminds me that she reads some twisted materials…but she makes really good suggestions! So thanks Ma (she signed up for Cannonball Read, then punked out and is now a lurker–yeah, I’m calling you out, […]
It might involve ponies.
Mr. Kiss and Tell is the second of two books contracted after the Kickstarted movie in 2014. Both books have done a great job taking the Veronica Mars world, escalating it, and translating it to the medium of books. I also really like what they’re doing with Veronica’s character (and the other characters). They’re allowing them to grow and change. These characters haven’t just been held in stasis in the nine years that have elapsed since the third season of the TV show ended. This […]
