An April Fool’s Joke come true

Iron and Magic by Ilona Andrews

by 3 Comments

4.5 stars While this is technically the first book in a new series, which can be read on its own, this book fits into the larger framework of the Kate Daniels universe (where this book is book 9.5 out of 10). So there’s quite a bit of back story you’re missing out on if you’ve not read the other books first. While the first book is rough, the series as a whole is my favourite paranormal/urban fantasy series, probably ever, so if you like the genre and haven’t checked them out yet, do yourself a favour and get caught up before you […]

So many different things that can petrify you

Half-Off Ragnarok by Seanan McGuire

by Leave a Comment

This is book 3 in a series. If you want to start at the beginning, check out Discount Armageddon. From Goodreads: When Alex Price agreed to go to Ohio to oversee a basilisk breeding program and assist in the recovery of his psychic cousin, he didn’t expect people to start dropping dead. But bodies are cropping up at the zoo where he works, and his girlfriend – Shelby Tanner, an Australian zoologist with a fondness for big cats – is starting to get suspicious.  Worse yet, the bodies have all been turned partially to stone… The third book in the InCryptid series takes us […]

Catching up with Adam and Ronan

Opal by Maggie Stiefvater

by Leave a Comment

This is a short story set after the events of The Raven King, the fourth and final novel in The Raven Cycle.There will be spoilers for some of the plot in those books, so if you want to remain entirely unspoiled and haven’t yet read these excellent books, come back after you’ve caught up. Told in a somewhat disjointed and sometimes confusing way by Opal, the little dream creature created by Ronan, the readers get to see some of what is happening in the lives of Ronan and Adam after the events of The Raven King. As Opal is not really from our world, […]

The Covenant comes to New York

Midnight Blue-Light Special by Seanan McGuire

by 2 Comments

This is the second book in the series. There may be some mild spoilers for the first book, Discount Armageddon, in this review. Set a few months after the events in the previous book, Verity Price is still trying to make it as a ballroom dancer, while also trying to study all manner of supernatural beings, all while keeping humanity in general from finding out about them. After her former boss’ niece took over the club where she worked as a waitress, turning it into more of a burlesque than a strip club, Verity also gets to dance more. Then Dominic de […]

Paranormal fantasy that should appeal to Supernatural fans

Discount Armageddon by Seanan McGuire

by 5 Comments

From Goodreads, because I’m really far behind on my reviews, and it’s a good summary of the book: Ghoulies. Ghosties. Long-legged beasties. Things that go bump in the night…the Price family has spent generations studying the monsters of the world, working to protect them from humanity – and humanity from them. Enter Verity Price. Despite being trained from birth as a cryptozoologist, she’d rather dance a tango than tangle with a demon, and is spending a year in Manhattan while she pursues her career in professional ballroom dance. Sounds pretty simple, right? It would be, if it weren’t for the […]

I’d love to be a Fairy’s Child

The Cruel Prince by Holly Black

by Leave a Comment

When Jude was seven years old, her life and those of her sisters, were irrevocably changed. Lord Madoc, the Faerie King’s general, showed up on their doorstep, intent on claiming back his long-lost heir and Jude and Taryn’s parents were murdered as a result. Madoc took them and his daughter Vivienne to Elfhame, where they were all raised as part of his household. Most humans in Elfhame are servants (or even slaves) be-glamoured not to realise that they’re trapped in a magical realm. That Madoc has demanded that Jude and Taryn be raised alongside the children of the Fae, and […]
