I usually alternate serious books with fluffy books. This book may just be the epitome of fluff. I was on maternity leave for 6 months and, let me tell you, I did not have the brainpower to watch a TV show let alone read a complicated book. So when Audible recommended a “cozy mystery” for me, I was intrigued. Katie Lightfoot just broke off her engagement and moved from Ohio to Savannah to open a bakery with her aunt and uncle. Just as their bakery […]
Paranormal Romance for Those Who Enjoy Such Things
This review required a little research from me on the genre distinction between paranormal and fantasy, so I could resolve that Widdershins is the former. The first in a series, which takes its name from the main characters, this paranormal romance features a couple interacting with occult forces and things that go bump in the night. I would recommend Widdershins, even though it was not my cup of tea. It was fun, but I like significantly less violence and prefer a dearth of imaginary creatures […]
I miss when I cared deeply about this series
This review will probably not be coherent to anyone except those familiar with this series, and maybe not even then. There will be spoilers. And conflicting feelings. The shortest version of my history with the Fever series is that I instantly fell in love with the first five books, reading them all in succession over the course of a weekend. I had Fever fever. I’ve read those original five several times since then. When I learned that Karen Marie Moning planned to continue the series, […]
The continuing adventures of the freakishly beautiful supernaturals
3.5 stars This is book 9 in a series. It’s really not the place to start. If you want to join in at the beginning, start with Angels’ Blood. Two years have passed since the last book in the series, and Elena is slowly growing stronger, even though she’s virtually a baby in angel terms. The Cascade seems to be on hold, and all the archangels are trying to investigate what exactly is going on in China in the murderous Lijuan’s territory. Has she gone […]
Not as great as the first one, but still a fun read
Disclaimer! I was granted an ARC copy of this through NetGalley. That has in no way influenced my review. Spoiler warning! This is the second book in The Kingmaker Chronicles and as such this review may contain mild spoilers both for the first book in the series, A Promise of Fire and for the beginning of this book. If you’re new to the series, start with book one. If you like going in not knowing anything, come back and read this review once you’ve finished […]
Ashes to Ashes
If Texas Gothic is Scooby-Doo meets Nancy Drew, then the companion novel, Spirit and Dust (Ember, 2013), is Harry Dresden: Girl Detective. As I was reading this YA paranormal romance, I began to realize that it was really similar to Dresden Files #3, Grave Peril. Like, really similar. Like, “let’s weaponize the spirits of the dead in Chicago and then unleash Sue the T. Rex during the book’s climax” similar. (This is not a spoiler; like Chekhov’s gun, if you introduce a dinosaur skeleton in […]
