Sticking it to Cancer One Book at a Time

“I would really like to know”, he said with genuine curiosity. “The next time I kill someone, I’d like to do it in a way that doesn’t freak you out.”

Burn for Me by Ilona Andrews

by 3 Comments

4.5 stars This book originally came out back in 2014, but was re-released earlier this year, after the two planned sequels took longer to produce than planned. The second book in the trilogy will now be out at the end of May, while the third and final book comes out in July. I’m giddy with anticipation and have already pre-ordered the sequels. My first review of the book can be found here. Spoiler warning! This review will mainly deal with my thoughts of re-reading it, and where I hope the authors will take the series in upcoming books. So if you […]

At least I got more Lying Cat in this one

Saga, vol 7 by Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples

by Leave a Comment

This is volume 7 of an ongoing series. It’s not the place to start. There is no question that any person of good taste should be reading Saga, but you should start at the beginning with volume 1. I suppose that because the last volume made me very happy, this one was going to make me sad. Damn you, Vaughn and Staples and the emotional roller coaster you send me on. Temporarily stranded on Phang, a tiny comet that Wreath and Landfall have been battling it out over (like they battle for everything else), Elena, Marko and their little family […]

I want to know what it feels like to have crushes that could conceivably maybe one day turn into boyfriends

The Upside of Unrequited by Becky Albertalli

by 2 Comments

4.5 stars Sixteen-year-old Molly Peskin-Suso has had a crush on twenty-six different guys (number twenty-six is Lin-Manuel Miranda, and I share your infatuation, girl!), but these crushes have never really developed into anything and she’s never kissed anyone. Molly’s twin sister Cassie is very encouraging and tries to get her to just “go for it”, but Cassie has had flings with a number of girls, and is a lot more outgoing and confident than Molly. While they are twins, the sisters have vastly different body types. Cassie is tall and svelte and graceful, Molly is introverted, quiet and what their […]

Countless alternate dimensions, one very special teenager

A Thousand Pieces of You by Claudia Gray

by Leave a Comment

3.5 stars Marguerite Caine’s parents are both genius physicist and have invented a device that allows the user to jump between alternate dimensions, by basically inhabiting the body of the alternate version of themselves. Before the device could be properly tested, however, Marguerite’s father is killed in a car accident and her parents’ research assistant, Paul Markov, has disappeared into another dimension with the only finished Firebird device. Her parents’ other assistant, Theo Beck, has luckily kept two of the early prototypes of the device and fixed them up enough that he and Marguerite are able to follow Paul through […]

There is nothing wrong with being scared. It only means that something important is at stake

Of Dreams and Rust by Sarah Fine

by Leave a Comment

Spoiler warning! This is book two in a duology and it will be absolutely impossible for me to review this book without giving away some spoilers for book one, Of Metal and Wishes. Neither book stands well on its own, and they are clearly meant to be read as a whole. If you like going into books completely unspoiled, skip this review until you’ve finished book one. It’s been a year since the dramatic events that brought down the entire slaughterhouse where Wen and her father worked. Bo, formerly the Ghost of Gochan One, has now made his home underneath […]

Tudor royals, books, shapeshifters and all manner of complications

My Lady Jane by Cynthia Hand, Brodi Ashton and Jodi Meadows

by Leave a Comment

According to history, when King Edward VI, Henry VIII’s son died young and childless, certain noblemen who wanted to make sure a ruler of the Protestant faith ruled the country put his young cousin Lady Jane Gray on the throne. She ruled for nine days, before Mary Tudor arrived with her armies, removed the poor girl and had her beheaded. This book bears a vague resemblance to that story. In the England of this story, the conflict in England isn’t between Catholics and Protestants, it’s between non-shapeshifters, also known as Verities, and shapeshifters, better known as eðians (pronounced eethians). King […]
