Revenge is a dish served up by witches

Payback's a Witch by Lana Harper

February 16, 2022 by Mikki Blu 2 Comments

“Chilling Adventures of Sabrina meets The L Word in this fresh, sizzling rom-com by Lana Harper.” This book is a blend of a lot of different elements – it’s paranormal, mixed with payback on a cheating ex boyfriend, a dash of Harry Potteresque wizard tournament and sizzle of a new lesbian romance.  The main character, Emmy Harlow, is a witch but because she left her home town after high school, her powers are diminished.  You see, her home town of Thistle Grove is a place […]

Reckless Girls by Rachel Hawkins

February 1, 2022 by Dinah Lord Leave a Comment

Lux and her boyfriend Nico are eking out a poorly-paid, uncomfortable living on Maui after their dream of sailing Nico’s boat, Susannah, across the Pacific was smashed due to damage to the boat which they still can’t afford to put right. The situation is rendered more irritating to Lux since Nico’s family is rich, and if he applied for help from them, the boat could be fixed, and they’d be free to travel. Instead, and after Lux is fired from her room cleaning job at […]

An extremely good book. Understatement. #CBRBINGO – Landscape

Razorblade Tears by S.A. Cosby

October 29, 2021 by narfna Leave a Comment

😭😭😭😭😭 Above was my reaction upon finishing this book, which worked its dark magics upon me until my emotions did exactly what it wanted me to do at all times. More on this later. This book also has, I think, the best last line in a novel I’ve read all year. Maybe several years. This book is propulsive and hard to put down. I gave myself almost three days to read it and I read it in half a day. S.A. Cosby, of whom I […]

“He can’t change his past but he means to change his future. He also intends to have his payday. He earned it.”

Billy Summers by Stephen King

October 26, 2021 by narfna Leave a Comment

Been sitting on this review, because despite how fast I read the book, I couldn’t quite figure out how I wanted to rate it, or what I wanted to say about it. I think ultimately that I was very entertained by this book, even if it isn’t King’s best. A lot of it revisited past favorite themes of his, but some of it felt new. This is his first straight up crime novel*, and his first about a hit-man. *This honorific used to belong to […]

Bloody tango steps in Sweden

The Return of the Dancing Master by Henning Mankell

August 19, 2021 by Singsonggirl Leave a Comment

This is the fave thriller of a friend of mine, I found it on one of the free bookshelves around town and gave it a try. I read quite a few of the Wallander cases as a teen, but I mostly only remember the gory violence and not much else. While not a Wallander case, this definitely doesn’t disappoint either when it comes to cruel ways to die. A former police man is found flogged to death in his house somewhere in the Swedish boondocks, […]
