Don’t expect a happy ending to this one

March 12, 2017 by Malin Leave a Comment

Spoiler warning! I found it impossible to review this book without revealing plot details that would probably be considered spoilery, so if you like to start a book without knowing much, probably skip this review. Also, this book is a PREQUEL, best read after you finish the full thirteen book series by Kim Harrison. As of me writing this, the first book is on sale for $2.99. In a world where humans are the dominant species, they are fully unaware that there are a number […]

An incredibly confusing book

February 23, 2017 by Malin 2 Comments

I’m not entirely sure what I was expecting when I picked up this book. It certainly wasn’t whatever The Devourers ended up being. I’m still not entirely sure what I actually read. Let me try to provide a plot summary. While out for an evening in Kolkata, India, lonely college professor Alok runs into a mysterious and handsome stranger who claims to be a half-werewolf. He weaves a tale that utterly beguiles Alok and the professor becomes obsessed with both seeing the nameless stranger again, […]

Death Doesn’t Discriminate

February 1, 2017 by Lipton 4 Comments

Life is cruel and life is kind; sometimes it gives and other times it takes. Life is one side of the coin and death is the other. There are the living and there are the dead and then there are the ones trapped in between.

“Chicks dig a man of mystery. And werewolves. Chicks really dig werewolves”

December 30, 2016 by Malin 1 Comment

4.5 stars Spoiler warning! This is the third book in The Innkeeper Chronicles and as such, this review may contain spoilers for previous books in the series. It’s also a series that is best read in order, so if you are unfamiliar with the books, go start at the beginning, with Clean Sweep. While Dina Demille may seem like a fairly ordinary young human woman, she is in fact an Innkeeper, and within the bounds of her inn, she is almost unbelievably powerful. Her broom […]
