New York Dead by Stuart Woods
Read as part of CBR14 Bingo: funky. This one is tough. I picked this for “funky” because Woods is descriptive of the fetid scents of Manhattan air. There’s also some funky stuff that happens later in the book, which I won’t spoil. I was able to be clever with my other choices but am tapping out with this one. I’m always on the look out for fun New York tales, especially ones set in the 70s, 80s, and 90s. Despite the bad reviews, I was tempted […]
Ex-Patriots (Ex-Heroes #2) by Peter Clines
The Farm by Tob Rob Smith
A Delicate Touch (Stone Barrington #48) by Stuart Woods
https://killingmykindle.com/2019/01/10/episode-2-01-tell-me-lies-tell-me-sweet-little-lies/ CANNONBALL 11 HAS BEGUNNETHED. Wherein I review: 1. Ex-Patriots (Ex-Heroes #2) by Peter Clines 2. The Farm by Tom Rob Smith 3. A Delicate Touch (Stone Barrington #48) by Stuart Woods More delicious zombies vs. superheroes where we finally meet up with the military. And they wisely utilize Arkham Asylumishness. A son must decide whether his mother is being gaslit by his father or if her entire tale is a lie. Stuart Woods keeps being all Stuart Woodsy.
https://killingmykindle.com/2018/11/04/episode-1-41-old-timey-fisticuffs/ Wherein I review: 150. The Lost Plot (Invisible Library #4) by Genevieve Cogman 151. A Map of Days (Miss Peregrine #4) by Ransom Riggs 152. Desperate Measures (Stone Barrington #47) by Stuart Woods 153. The Mauritius Command (Aubrey & Maturin #4) by Patrick O’Brian It’s all on the fours. Fourth swashbuckler, fourth Miss Peregrine’s Steampunk X-Men, fourth Invisible Library. It’s all very old school, and enjoyable. Fourthbook is a big deal, because it’s either revamping or saying, “We’re in this for the long haul, […]
https://killingmykindle.com/2018/08/08/episode-1-29-what-the-fuck-did-i-just-read/ Wherein I review: 111. A Highly Unlikely Scenario, or a Neetsa Pizza Employee’s Guide to Saving the World by Rachel Cantor 112. Mr. Penumbra’s 24-Hour Bookstore by Robin Sloan 113. The Fold by Peter Clines 114. High-Rise by J.G. Ballard 115. Turbulence (Stone Barrington #46) by Stuart Woods Sometimes your little brain needs to get fried. This was a combo platter of what the f–kery. I enjoyed Robin Sloan’s wonderous cult of personality, and Peter Clines’ Lost-esque pseudo-sequel to 14. Didn’t so much love […]
https://killingmykindle.com/2018/04/16/episode-1-15-clowns-to-the-left-of-me-vampire-killing-lincoln-to-my-right/ Wherein I review: 49. The Last American Vampire by Seth-Grahame Smith 50. The Diving Pool by Yoko Ogawa 51. ClownFellas: Tales of the Bozo Family by Carlton Mellick III 52. Shoot First by Stuart Woods FIRST CANNONBALL DONE. For this run Stuart Woods was the Alpha and Omega. SGS goes all Forrest Gump with his vampire Henry Sturges. I get creeped the f out by one the best Japanese authors working today AGAIN. A man I’m convinced is three teen boys in a trenchcoat […]
