Plural Marriage Made Interesting

The Wives by Tarryn Fisher

by Leave a Comment

Before I get into this review, I think it’s important that I tell you I was born and raised in Mormonism and spent a great deal of time in Utah. So the polygamy of it all is extra interesting to me. That’s right. The title of this novel refers to “plural marriage,” which is what fundamentalist Mormons call (and called) polygamy from the 19th century to today. Thursday is the second wife of a man who is married to three women. His first wife, Monday […]

Chaos Burning by Lauren Dane

by Leave a Comment

Chaos Burning is the second Bound by Magick novel by Lauren Dane. I LOVED the first book, Hearts of Darkness, and hunted down the entire series. This go-round, we meet a new witch named Lark Jaansen. She has been kicking ass and taking names in Los Angeles. After the dangerous attack in the first book, Lark arrives in Seattle to teach these witches how to fight dirty. Just in time for a big bad of apocalyptic proportions to show up. It likes to devour Others […]

Sexy Witches in Seattle

Heart of Darkness by Lauren Dane

by Leave a Comment

The cover of Lauren Dane’s Heart of Darkness drew me in at The Ripped Bodice. Upon discovery that it was a witch paranormal romance, I was SOLD. With my access to bookstores limited, I’ve started to read more books from my shelf. As this is book one of the Bound by Magick series, I’m reviewing for the CBR12 “Fresh Start” bingo square. Meriel Owen is a badass lawyer, lover of pencil skirts, and sexy as hell red-headed witch living in Seattle. In this universe, witches […]

Where’d You Go Bernadette – What took me so long??

Where'd You Go Bernadette by Maria Semple

by Leave a Comment

For some reason, this book languished in my “to read” pile for quite some time. I can’t quite explain it, but I found something about the cover to be off-putting, and didn’t think I was going to like it. As the old adage goes though, judging by a cover is problematic, and I found this book to be utterly engrossing and delightful. Once I finally picked it up, I was hooked. A really unique story, told creatively, with rich and vibrant characters. And so so […]

Fortunately Gone, I Wait for You

Where'd You Go, Bernadette by Maria Semple

by Leave a Comment

Where’d You Go, Bernadette is a perfectly fine book. I think a lot of people like it a lot. It’s the story of Bee, a teenager in Seattle, whose mother Bernadette disappears one day. Most of the book covers what leads up to her disappearance, while the end talks about the aftermath and the efforts to find her. I found this book quite engaging and finished it in just a few days. I liked the format (it’s mainly a series of emails sent between different […]
