I kicked off the year with Bayou Moon from Ilona Andrews’ The Edge series. This novel follows William, an ex-military changeling werewolf loner. He was a supporting character in the first book, On the Edge. William retired to The Edge, a liminal zone between the “Broken” (our world devoid of magic) and the “Weird” (a mirror earth dimension full of magic). In this reality, werewolves are either killed at birth or forced into the military. His forest cabin solitude is interrupted when two agents from The […]
In every generation, there is a Chosen One…
3.5 stars It’s been two months since I read this (why, yes, I am terribly behind on my reviews), so I’m resorting to Goodreads for the summary: Beneath the glitter of nineteenth century London society lurks a bloodthirsty evil… Vampires have always lived among them, quietly attacking unsuspecting debutantes and dandified lords as well as hackney drivers and Bond Street milliners. If not for the vampire slayers of the Gardella family, these immortal creatures would long ago have taken control of the world. In every […]
I think many of us would like to visit this library
3.5 stars Irene is an agent of the Library, a place that exists outside normal space and time. In fact, as long as the agents and librarians that work for the Library are there, they do not age in the slightest. Only when they are out in the different worlds of the multiverse, do they visibly age, and how much depends how time passes in the various worlds they find themselves. As an agent of the Library, Irene is sent to retrieve books that are […]
For trust not him that hath once broken faith
This is book ten in an ongoing series, and as such, REALLY not the place to start. While my review may not have too many spoilers about earlier books in the series, there is a whole lot of history in the books before that is required for this book to be fully satisfying to a reader. Start at the beginning with Rosemary and Rue. After changeling knight and sometime champion of the realm, October “Toby” Daye’s adventures in the Kingdom of the Silences, there is […]
“You’re like a crazy cat lady, but you collect killers instead of fluffy cats.”
4.5 stars Spoiler warning! This is book nine in the Kate Daniels series. The penultimate book in the series, in fact. I will not be able to review this book without there being spoilers for earlier books. Don’t read this if you’re not all the way caught up. Do pick up the series if you like good Urban/Paranormal fantasy, though, it’s pretty much the best out there at the moment. Private detective and supernatural powerhouse Kate Daniels is finally getting married to Curran Lennart, former […]
Dresses, balls and suitors, and soul-sucking monsters?
3.5 stars Lady Helen Wrexhall is 18 and nervous about her imminent presentation to the Queen. As her parents died when Helen was young, and there is scandal attached to her mother (she is believed to have been a traitor), Helen and her brother have been raised by their aunt and uncle. She desperately hopes that no one is going to mention the scandal connected to her mother, but can’t resist the urge to take her mother’s miniature with her to the presentation either, wanting […]
