A violent, sad, but very satisfying ending (Triple Bingo)

Locke & Key, vol 6: Alpha & Omega by Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodriguez

by Leave a Comment

#CBR11 Bingo: Not My Wheelhouse (horror) (Would also work for Illustrated) Spoiler warning! This is the sixth and final volume in the Locke and Key series. It is absolutely NOT the place to start. This review will probably contain spoilers both for earlier and this collection, so don’t read it unless you’re completely caught up. The first volume is Welcome to Lovecraft.  In this final volume, the Locke kids have to confront the evil that has been haunting their family for over a generation. If there was any doubt that […]

Toby Daye and the selkies

The Unkindest Tide by Seanan McGuire

Spoiler warning! This is book 13 in a series, and really not the place to start. The first book is Rosemary and Rue, that’s where you want to begin, if you’re interested. Official book description: Hundreds of years ago, the Selkies made a deal with the sea witch: they would have the sea for as long as she allowed it, and when the time came, she would call in all their debts at once. Many people assumed that day would never come. Those people were wrong. When […]

To see her is to love her

Sapphire Flames by Ilona Andrews

by 1 Comment

4.5 stars This is the first book in a new trilogy, so it will work fine to anyone new to the authors or this fantasy world, but readers may want to have read at least Diamond Fire, a novella which introduces the heroine and bridges the completed trilogy and this new one. In a world where magical abilities bring wealth, power and possibly even fame, Catalina Baylor has reluctantly become the head of House Baylor and the main investigator of her family’s detective agency, after her […]

Be careful what you wish for

The Wicked King by Holly Black

by 1 Comment

Spoiler warning! You really don’t want to start this book without having read the first book in the series, The Cruel Prince. It’s also pretty much impossible for me to review this book without spoiling parts of the first book, so if you’re not caught up, skip this review until you are. Seriously, even the book summary from Goodreads is pretty revealing. Look away now or suffer the consequences. You must be strong enough to strike and strike and strike again without tiring. The first lesson is to […]

An interesting, new (to me) paranormal series

Skinwalker by Faith Hunter

by Leave a Comment

3.5 stars Jane Yellowrock is, as far as she’s aware, the very last of her kind. She’s a skinwalker of Cherokee descent and has never encountered anyone with the same powers as her. She makes a living hunting vampires, but finds herself in the unusual position of working for the vampire council in New Orleans, to track down a rogue vampire. Jane has ten days to locate the creature if she wants to get the exclusive bounty, but there are other individuals in the city […]

An excellent bridging story between a finished trilogy and a series to come

4.5 stars Spoiler warning! This novella takes place after the events of Wildfire and this review may spoil things for any reader who has not finished the original Hidden Legacy trilogy. Proceed at your own risk. Nevada Baylor is marrying Connor Rogan, and that means a huge society wedding with countless guests, including many of Rogan’s family members from all over the world. After the bride runs off numerous wedding planners, her sisters Catalina and Arabella decide to take over the wedding planning duties. It turns out that dealing with […]
