Maggie Thrash: Girl trying to understand

Lost Soul, Be at Peace by Maggie Thrash

by Leave a Comment

Lost Soul, Be at Peace is not an easy read. This time, Maggie Thrash has created a graphic novel that is more fantastical than Honor Girl was. Instead of dealing with the issues camp, friends and coming to terms with one’s sexuality in a realistic and relatable way, she has created something that deals with the past and ghosts. Even the living ones. How can there be a living ghost? That is the plot point. Based on Thrash’s own experiences, this time our character Maggie wishes she could take back the events of the pass almost two years. She has […]

DNF at 10 Percent

They Thirst by Robert McCammon

by Leave a Comment

I did not finish this at 10 percent. I got nothing to say besides the writing hurt my head. I either love Robert R. McCammon or I don’t. This is definitely one of the ones I don’t love. There is too much thrown out and none of it makes much sense. This is a shame though because the prologue was so freaking good. And then when it moves to LA I just started to feel overwhelmed. Since I only got up to 10 percent I can say that the characters are too many and the book should have just been […]

I Feel Guilt Over the Two Stars Rating

A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness

by 2 Comments

I loved this book when it first came out and I have to say that my re-read of this was painful. Why did I like this so much? Did I not see that Matthew was uber possessive which is my least favorite hero trait? The constant endearments in French may me roll my eyes. Also the Mary Sueness of Diana was beyond ridiculous. She gets powers on top of powers and also decides that the only thing that matters is her love for Matthew. She started to turn me off way before we get to the ending. And the way […]

Antoine Revoy, you are a mean, mean, meeean, man!

Animus by Antoine Revoy

by Leave a Comment

animus [ an-uh-muh s ]   NOUN strong dislike or enmity; hostile attitude; animosity. purpose; intention; animating spirit. (in the psychology of C. G. Jung) the masculine principle, especially as present in women (contrasted with anima).   How can you sleep at night knowing you crushed my soul? How could you rip my heart out? How dare you create a horrific masterpiece? Was the clue I saw a clue? Animus is a graphic novel I found by accident. First/Second mentioned that they had acquired Revoy’s latest graphic novel. I figured it was to come out “soon” and were gearing up for the […]

Sophronia and her series both Finish.

Manners & Mutiny (Finishing School, #4) by Gail Carriger

by Leave a Comment

This was a nice ending to the series, pretty on par with the quality of the rest of the books, so if you liked those, you’ll like this one, too. I’ve just been slightly underwhelmed with this series as a whole, so I was just slightly underwhelmed with this book in the same way. I got really excited about the ending of the third book, but she didn’t really take it anywhere super exciting, just medium exciting. I did like the last two books more than I liked the first two, so the series does have a clear and satisfying […]

“The colonizer writes the history, winning twice: A theft of land. A theft of witness.”

Before the Devil Breaks You by Libba Bray

by Leave a Comment

In this third installment of Bray’s fantastic Diviners series, Libba Bray finally pulls together many moving pieces and lays down the major themes of the series with gusto. If I could sum it up in one phrase, I’d call this book “Ghosts are scary, but not as scary as evangelism” Or “Ghosts are scary, but it’s your fault.” The Diviners are a diverse group of supernaturally talented young people in 1920s NYC (who aren’t officially called “The Diviners” but simply “diviners” at this point).  In previous volumes, they have tracked down a paranormal serial killer and solved the crisis of […]

Sexy swamp people.

Bayou Moon (The Edge, #2) by Ilona Andrews

by 4 Comments

Short review, because I read this over a month ago. It actually took me forever to read it! I had this book out in ebook form from the library three times before I read it. They kept taking it away from me before I could work up the energy or desire. I finally caved and just bought a Kindle copy, and of course that’s the one that ended up sticking, since I owned it forevermore, I went ahead and read it the next day. Sigh. The quality of the book though didn’t really match how long it took me to […]
