Love Conquers the Mind

Slave to Sensation by Nalini Singh

Visions of Heat by Nalini Singh

Caressed by Ice by Nalini Singh

I know I’m late to the party, but I’m so here for any books written by Nalini Singh. I’ve been meaning to read her work for years. Last year for Cannonball Read 11, I got hooked with a novella in the Burning Up anthology. I started reviewing the Guild Hunter series with Angels’ Blood but had my eye on the Psy-Changeling books the whole time. When the new year rolled around, I knew it was time and devoured the first three books in the series.   […]

Weird. Just Weird.

The Vanishers by Heidi Julavits

by Leave a Comment

CW: mention of suicide One of my favorite jokes in the final season of the tv show 30 Rock was Liz Lemon’s revelation that she did a one-person play in college of which her student newspaper reviewed as “too confusing to be offensive.” Switching the word “offensive” to “appreciate” and you’d have my feelings on this book. There’s a lot to like about this one. Heidi Julavits has a healthy understanding of relationships, maternal-child bonds and how difficult they are to sunder. I appreciated the ambiguity she allows […]

Psychic powers? Check. Normal Life? Not on your life!

Mob Psycho 100 Volume 1 by One

by Leave a Comment

I was speaking with a coworker about a Netflix show he had seen a few episodes of. It was Mob Psycho 100. I found book one and thought “Why not? I only have a couple thousand other books, what is one more to read?” Beside it was something I had never heard of and it sounded interesting. Plus, I have wanted to read more manga. I can boil down this review to three words: One unique story. Yet, another way to describe this book is […]

Another rather forgettable Harris book

Midnight Crossroad by Charlaine Harris

by Leave a Comment

Official book description: Welcome to Midnight, Texas, a town with many boarded-up windows and few full-time inhabitants, located at the crossing of Witch Light Road and Davy Road. It’s a pretty standard dried-up western town. There’s a pawnshop (someone lives in the basement and is seen only at night). There’s a diner (people who are just passing through tend not to linger). And there’s new resident Manfred Bernardo, who thinks he’s found the perfect place to work in private (and who has secrets of his […]

Hello, Charlie!

Astonishing X-Men - Life of X (Volume 1) by Charles Soule

by Leave a Comment

Interesting and yet, overly-confusing and FULL of plot holes. This graphic novel uses a nice plot device to set up a typical gang X-fight against an overwhelming opponent but creates a number of gaping leaps in logic and reality. The Shadow King is taking out the Earth’s psychics to force his way onto this planet and, needless to say, is unsucessful (or is he?). The X-Men’s leader, omega-class psychic Charles Xavier had been murdered by former student Scott Summers (Cyclops) back during the AVX story […]
