I think the marketing people should find other books to compare this book to

All the Bright Places by Jennifer Niven

by Leave a Comment

3.5 stars #CBR11 Bingo: Youths! From Goodreads: Theodore Finch is fascinated by death, and he constantly thinks of ways he might kill himself. But each time, something good, no matter how small, stops him. Violet Markey lives for the future, counting the days until graduation, when she can escape her Indiana town and her aching grief in the wake of her sister’s recent death.  When Finch and Violet meet on the ledge of the bell tower at school, it’s unclear who saves whom. And when they pair up on a project to discover the “natural wonders” of their state, both […]

And So It Begins

What Angels Fear by C.S. Harris

by Leave a Comment

#CBR11 Book Bingo: And So It Begins From Goodreads, because it’s nearly three months since I finished this baby: It’s 1811, and the threat of revolution haunts the upper classes of King George III’s England. Then a beautiful young woman is found raped and savagely murdered on the altar steps of an ancient church near Westminster Abbey. A dueling pistol discovered at the scene and the damning testimony of a witness both point to one man, Sebastian St. Cyr, Viscount Devlin, a brilliant young nobleman shattered by his experience in the Napoleonic Wars. Now a fugitive running for his life, […]

“Once upon a time, a girl did the impossible, but she did it just a little too late.”

Muse of Nightmares by Laini Taylor

by 1 Comment

Spoiler warning! While I’m going to try very hard not to spoil THIS book in my review, this is the second book in a duology, and it will be impossible for me to write about the book without spoiling events and plot for book 1, Strange the Dreamer. Both books are absolutely wonderful, so you should absolutely check them out, if you haven’t already. But seriously, there will be plot spoilers for book one in the coming paragraphs, so go away if you’re not caught up: In the wake of tragedy, neither Lazlo nor Sarai are who they were before. One a god, […]

It puts such a strain on your quaint island retreat when someone tries to murder you

A Dangerous Collaboration by Deanna Raybourn

by Leave a Comment

Spoiler warning! This is book four in an ongoing series, and while you get enough information to follow the plot, you’re definitely better off starting at the beginning. Especially since there are quite a lot stuff that’s been building for the entire series that finally begins to come to fruition in this book, and it’ll be a lot more satisfying if you’ve read the preceding three books. From Goodreads: Victorian adventuress Veronica Speedwell is whisked off to a remote island off the tip of Cornwall when her natural historian colleague Stoker’s brother calls in a favor. On the pretext of wanting a […]

Be careful what you wish for

The Wicked King by Holly Black

by 1 Comment

Spoiler warning! You really don’t want to start this book without having read the first book in the series, The Cruel Prince. It’s also pretty much impossible for me to review this book without spoiling parts of the first book, so if you’re not caught up, skip this review until you are. Seriously, even the book summary from Goodreads is pretty revealing. Look away now or suffer the consequences. You must be strong enough to strike and strike and strike again without tiring. The first lesson is to make yourself strong. After the jaw-dropping revelation that Oak is the heir to Faerie, Jude […]

I would like the next one to be released ASAP, please?

The Hollow of Fear by Sherry Thomas

by Leave a Comment

Spoiler warning! This is book 3 in an ongoing series. For those who prefer to go into a series completely unspoiled, this review will probably reveal details about the earlier books in the series. The story will also make a lot more sense if you start at the beginning, with A Study in Scarlet Women.  From Goodreads: Under the cover of “Sherlock Holmes, consulting detective,” Charlotte Holmes puts her extraordinary powers of deduction to good use. Aided by the capable Mrs. Watson, Charlotte draws those in need to her and makes it her business to know what other people don’t. Moriarty’s shadow […]

The continuing adventures of Lady Sherlock

A Conspiracy in Belgravia by Sherry Thomas

by Leave a Comment

This is the second book in a series. While it can be read independently, and probably makes sense on its own, you’d be better off starting with book one, A Study in Scarlet Women.  From Goodreads: Being shunned by Society gives Charlotte Holmes the time and freedom to put her extraordinary powers of deduction to good use. As “Sherlock Holmes, consulting detective,” aided by the capable Mrs. Watson, she’s had great success helping with all manner of enquiries, but she’s not prepared for the new client who arrives at her Upper Baker Street office. Lady Ingram, wife of Charlotte’s dear friend […]
