An April Fool’s Joke come true

Iron and Magic by Ilona Andrews

by 3 Comments

4.5 stars While this is technically the first book in a new series, which can be read on its own, this book fits into the larger framework of the Kate Daniels universe (where this book is book 9.5 out of 10). So there’s quite a bit of back story you’re missing out on if you’ve not read the other books first. While the first book is rough, the series as a whole is my favourite paranormal/urban fantasy series, probably ever, so if you like the genre and haven’t checked them out yet, do yourself a favour and get caught up before you […]

You’d think shapeshifters and demons and an estranged couple reuniting in a Steampunk London would be more interesting than this

Winterblaze by Kristen Callihan

by Leave a Comment

Throughout her marriage, Poppy Lane has been lying to her beloved husband. Until very recently, he believed her to be the owner of a bookstore, when in fact she wasn’t just a member of, but the head of, a secret paranormal organisation known as the Society for the Suppression of Supernaturals. Poppy’s entire life is working to ensure the existence of various supernatural beings remains unknown to mere mortals, and she had just been sworn into the Society on the day when she first met Winston Lane and quickly fell for him, even knowing he was a normal mortal man […]

A shapeshifter tale of violence & confusion over the ages

The Devourers by Indra Das

by Leave a Comment

Unfortunately, life happened, so it’s been a while since my last review. It took me an extra month to finish the last 60 pages of The Devourers! I did participate in our Cannonball Read book club discussion on time. Better late to review than never, I say. 😉  The Devourers was on several 2016 year end lists. I hadn’t read much contemporary fantasy, so was very intrigued to read it. I also love stories about shape-shifters (and most supernatural creatures). While reading the Kate Daniels’ series by Ilona Andrews, she introduced me to the concept of shifters with various cultures and forms. Rakshasas were shifters […]

As if I were no more than a possession for these two creatures to fight over.

The Devourers by Indra Das

by 12 Comments

Dear Cannonball Readers: I am so sorry. I voted for The Devourers for this Book Club Read. I thought it looked awesome. I hated it. This review is a two-star review. Because yes, I hated it, but the end was just okay. It finally picked up. Something finally happened. There was a point. The point was aggravating and boring and seriously not worth it, but it was finally there. These shapeshifters are full of some damn nonsense. You’re a superior creature, but your social rules don’t evolve? You live with the souls of your victims inside you, but you don’t […]

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 […]

Thunderbird shifter hero<Dragon shifter hero

Storm's Heart by Thea Harrison

by Leave a Comment

2.5 stars I read this TWO months ago, and need to get through this ever-increasing review backlog, hence resorting to the blurb once more: During the rule of her murderous Dark Fae uncle, Thistle “Tricks” Periwinkle found sanctary among the Wyr in New York. Her ethereal beauty and sparkling personality won the hearts of the public, but after her uncle’s death, there are those who don’t want to see her ascend to the throne. Able to wield thunder and lightning, Wyr sentinel Thiago Black Eagle has ruled the skies for centuries. His massive build and thunderous power makes him one […]

“You’re like a crazy cat lady, but you collect killers instead of fluffy cats.”

Magic Binds by Ilona Andrews

by 1 Comment

4.5 stars Spoiler warning! This is book nine in the Kate Daniels series. The penultimate book in the series, in fact. I will not be able to review this book without there being spoilers for earlier books. Don’t read this if you’re not all the way caught up. Do pick up the series if you like good Urban/Paranormal fantasy, though, it’s pretty much the best out there at the moment.  Private detective and supernatural powerhouse Kate Daniels is finally getting married to Curran Lennart, former Beast Lord of Atlanta. They ask Ronan, Black Vohlv of the Death god Chernobog to […]
