Some more of Toby’s rather complicated family relationships are revealed

Night and Silence by Seanan McGuire

by 1 Comment

Spoiler warning! This is book 12 in an ongoing series, it is NOT the place to start. There will be minor spoilers for previous books in the series, as it’s impossible to discuss this book without mentioning things that have happened in earlier books. If you’re interested (and you should be, this is one of the best urban/paranormal fantasy series out there right now), start with book 1, Rosemary and Rue.  Faerie knight and champion, and former private investigator October “Toby” Daye is not doing so well. While her loyal squire is by her side, the aftereffects of her demanding mother’s interference […]

#CBR10Bingo: This Old Thing – Kilmeny of the Orchard, or most likely my worst book of the year

Kilmeny of the Orchard by L.M. Montgomery

by 5 Comments

#CBR10Bingo: This Old Thing (published in 1910) Spoiler warning! There will be a number of spoilers for the plot of this book, because the only way I will be able to fully vent my spleen on this atrocious piece of writing is by going into minute detail about the MANY things I found dumb, objectionable or downright offensive in this book. You might as well allow yourself to be spoiled, this book is bad and you don’t actually want to waste time reading it. Eric Marshall has just graduated college and knows that his future is secure. He is going to work […]

Find your inner superheroine

Heroine Complex, Heroine Worship, Heroine's Journey by Sarah Kuhn

by 2 Comments

SPOILER WARNING! As I’m reviewing all three books in a trilogy, it’s going to be difficult for me to discuss the books without minor spoilers, especially in books 2 and 3, as they naturally follow on from and develop stuff that’s gone before in the series. So if you want to approach this series entirely spoiler free – you may just want to read the synopsis for book 1. #CBR10Bingo: Heroine Complex: So it begins Heroine Complex – 4.5 stars Evie Tanaka is the long-suffering and ever patient personal assistant to Aveda Jupiter, San Francisco’s favourite superheroine. Friends from girlhood (when Aveda was still Annie […]

#CBR10Bingo: Birthday – All the Crooked Saints

All the Crooked Saints by Maggie Stiefvater

by Leave a Comment

#CBR10 Bingo: Birthday (Ms Stiefvater’s birthday is November 11th) From Goodreads, because it sums it up nicely: Here is a thing everyone wants: A miracle. Here is a thing everyone fears: What it takes to get one. Any visitor to Bicho Raro, Colorado is likely to find a landscape of dark saints, forbidden love, scientific dreams, miracle-mad owls, estranged affections, one or two orphans, and a sky full of watchful desert stars. At the heart of this place you will find the Soria family, who all have the ability to perform unusual miracles. And at the heart of this family are […]

#CBR10 Bingo: Backlog – Outcast

Outcast by Adrienne Kress

by Leave a Comment

3.5 stars #CBR10Bingo: Backlog (has been on my TBR list since June 2013) Riley Carver lives in a little town somewhere in the Southern USA. For the past six years, on a particular day, angels come from the heavens and take away some of the townspeople. One year ago, the angels took Riley’s best friend, almost boyfriend, Chris. So she’s refusing to to leave the house (even though the whole town is supposed to the public celebration – or face strong censure), and when she sees an angel in the backyard, she shoots it in the face. Imagine her surprise when […]

“Sometimes we get it wrong the first time. But you only have to get it right once.”

The Start of Me and You by Emery Lord

by Leave a Comment

#CBR10Bingo: Brain Candy A year ago, Paige’s boyfriend died in a tragic drowning accident, and she is still suffering from nightmares and is known around town as “the girl whose boyfriend died”. She hasn’t been able to even get near a pool since it happened. It seems like everywhere she goes, she gets “the look” of people who don’t really see her, but just associate her with the dead boy she’d dated for two months before his life was tragically cut short. Determined that she needs to move on and reclaim her life, Paige makes a list of tasks to […]

It’s hard to become homecoming queen when you can’t even leave your house

Love and Other Alien Experiences by Kerry Winfrey

by Leave a Comment

From Goodreads, as I’m once again reviewing books from over a month ago: Mallory hasn’t left the house in sixty-seven days–since the day her dad left. She attends her classes via webcam, rarely leaves her room (much to her brother’s chagrin), and spends most of her time watching The X-Files or chatting with the always obnoxious BeamMeUp on New Mexico’s premier alien message board. But when she’s shockingly nominated for homecoming queen, her life takes a surprising turn. She slowly begins to open up to the world outside. And maybe if she can get her popular jock neighbor Brad Kirkpatrick to be her homecoming […]

Roadtrip of grief

Someone Else's Summer by Rachel Bateman

by Leave a Comment

Anna was only about a year younger than her sister Storm and spent much of her childhood tagging along after Storm and the boy next door, Cameron. When she started high school, Anna finally find her own friends and became involved in cheer leading, but when Storm dies in a car accident on the evening of her graduation, Anna is left confused and adrift, and Cameron seems to be the only one who understands and who knew Storm as well as her. When they were children, Storm used to make up summer “bucket lists”, although the three of them never […]
