Ugh (a review in Drag Race gifs)

August 15, 2014 by alwaysanswerb 13 Comments

No Rest for the Wicked was almost offensively boring, and when it wasn’t boring, it was offensive. It also has 4.3 stars on Goodreads. I don’t think this book bothers to take itself seriously, so I won’t give it a serious review. Kresley Cole essentially plagiarizes herself with every novel, so I see no problem with taking plagiarism to its logical end and relying mostly on the work of others to get my point across here. I’m going with RuPaul and her girls as my muses […]

The Dumbest Kiss

June 17, 2014 by alwaysanswerb 4 Comments

This book. Don’t read it. It was a Vaginal Fantasy pick, but an awful one. The plot was uninteresting, the pacing jarring, the writing juvenile and uninspired, and the characters flat and insipid. Here’s the rub: Lucien is one of the Lords of the Underworld, punished for opening Pandora’s Box by having the demon of Death coupled to his soul. He and Death are one; they cannot be separated. He has to perform Reaper-like tasks and escort souls to their final resting places (these are boringly […]

“I pulled out my submachine gun… On the barrel, pretty white letters spelled out PARTY STARTER.”

April 29, 2014 by alwaysanswerb 4 Comments

Gunmetal Magic is a story about Andrea, best friend to Kate Daniels aka The One the Series Is Named After. Goodreads summarizes the story thusly: “After being kicked out of the Order of the Knights of Merciful Aid, Andrea’s whole existence is in shambles. She tries to put herself back together by working for Cutting Edge, a small investigative firm owned by her best friend. When several shapeshifters working for Raphael Medrano—the male alpha of the Clan Bouda, and Andrea’s former lover—die unexpectedly at a […]

She blinded me with magic

April 9, 2014 by alwaysanswerb 2 Comments

This will be a comprehensive review for the six currently published books in the Kate Daniels series, which do not differ significantly in tone or quality, but each have their own novel-length mystery or case and each contribute to an overarching theme story. Differences in my ratings have to do with my particular interest in the specific plotline and advancement of the series-running arch in each book, but overall, I like this series, and if you like one you’ll find the rest worth reading. There […]
