Even worse now than it was when it was first published

Iced (Fever #6) by Karen Marie Moning

by 3 Comments

Re-Read – August 2019: I first read and reviewed this 6 years ago and didn’t really enjoy it. But this summer, I wanted to revisit all of the Fever books, having been a big fan of the initial run of 5 in the series. And although my general feeling going into Iced was that this and the follow-up Burned were the weakest among them, I was actually a little cautiously optimistic that I might enjoy them more this time. A big part of that comes from how in the years since my first read, I’ve read a lot of comments […]

Warrior Women with Bad Attitudes

The Unleashing by Shelly Laurenston

by Leave a Comment

When I spotted The Unleashing by Shelly Laurenston, I had a vague memory that yesknopemaybe gave it a positive review for CBR10. I also remembered that the protagonist was a former Marine. The expectation of a legion of ass-kicking women convinced me to buy it on the spot. With the start of CBR11 Bingo, I was spurred to action to read it for the Cannonballer Says square. As the first book in Laurenston’s Call of Crows series, we are introduced to Kera Watson, the ex-military protagonist, and many, many supporting characters. Kera is murdered in a back alley at the […]

Alex Craft, Witch Detective

Grave Witch by Kalayna Price

Grave Dance by Kalayna Price

Grave Memory by Kalayna Price

by Leave a Comment

As soon as I saw Grave Witch by Kalayna Price in The Ripped Bodice bookstore, I knew I’d probably love it. The series is about Alex Craft, a grave witch who consults with the Nekros police. Her grave magic allows her to raise shades. Not to be confused with ghosts, shades take the form of the body just before it died and contain the soul’s memory. This is a pretty handy skill to have the victim’s shade testify in their own murder case. Grieving relatives hire her to speak to relatives or settle insurance issues. She also identifies bodies for her […]

A Dinétah monster killer

Trail of Lightning by Rebecca Roanhorse

by 1 Comment

I was familiar with Rebecca Roanhorse from Twitter and her articles on Tor.com, so definitely excited for Trail of Lightning‘s release last year. I guess I wasn’t the only one because it was sold out at The Ripped Bodice when I went to buy it! Always a good sign and her novel did not disappoint. Trail of Lightning is the first entry in the series: The Sixth World. After a climate apocalypse that drowns most of the world, several nasty things that go bump in the night surfaced. The gods have also begun to walk among the land more freely. In […]

The Literary Equivalent of Junk Food

Second Grave on the Left by Darynda Jones

by Leave a Comment

I’m pretty sure I’ve found the next “beach read” series I might have to work my way through before he end of the summer (or as much of it as possible). Second Grave to the Left is a fun junky supernatural mystery. Not totally original, especially the sexy stuff, but enough interestingness to keep things going. I was shelf browsing at the local library, found the final installment of the series on the “New Fiction” shelf, decided it looked interesting, so I went to find volume 1, which was not on the shelf. Volume 2 was, and while I will […]

“The world was going crazy. Nothing left to do but hold on and yell “Wheee!” at strategic moments.”

Magic Triumphs (Kate Daniels #10) by Ilona Andrews

by Leave a Comment

I was holding out on reading this, the final book in Ilona Andrews’ Kate Daniel series, for a long time. Over the years, these books were warm stew, a thick blanket, and a campfire. They were familiar, comfortable, and satisfying, every time. After the first 9 books, as a reader, I wondered how on earth it was going to finish. It seemed impossible, because we knew that as powerful as Kate was, Roland, her father and enemy, was even moreso, and even if she could somehow beat those odds, their lives were still tied to each others’. No spoilers, but […]

I read this to spare you all. You’re welcome. Unless you like bad paranormal romance.

Bitten by Kelly Armstrong

by 1 Comment

I decided to request Bitten from the local library because I’d seen it on a list of good fantasy series. I’m so very glad I did that. Got it from the library that is. This book is the epitome of everything that people don’t like about paranormal romance. I’m almost tempted to throw it in the river and save everyone else who may check it out the experience; I won’t because that’s destruction of library property (and therefore bad on principle) and the book’s not worth the fine or the pollution. One of the worst things that romance novels of […]

“Squirrels again?” “They started it!”

Hot and Badgered by Shelly Laurenston

by Leave a Comment

I picked up Hot and Badgered solely because of the review by noodlestein’s danger tits, who admitted that she enjoyed it despite not being a fan of paranormal romance. I also tend to avoid that subgenre, but I figured this one might be would be worth a try. It was an interesting read – surprisingly light on the romance and what romance it did have leaned toward sweet rather than raunchy. Most of the story focused on the relationship between the three honey badger sisters, and they were a hoot and a half. Hot and Badgered is about the three […]
