Previously on Supernatural… God created some stuff and decided it was good. Two fools did something they were explicitly told not to do and that led to a population explosion (see: begatting). Now all these people are running around being, well, people, and God is up to HERE with their antics. It was all sex, drugs and rock n’ roll, 24/7; like a Sig Ep house in the 80’s. There was crime, depravity, and general wickedness all up on earth. Women were having sex with […]
The Big Bang
Previously on Supernatural… Katie: It’s 9:45 p.m. my time when I check my phone and see a series of messages from Patty demanding my immediate attention. Like 10 of them. Since I had spoken with her for 45 minutes earlier in the evening, I decided this deserved another phone call since she was obviously still awake. Patty: I WILL NOT BE IGNORED. Katie: I call her, and that’s when I hear excited yankee babbling with a hint of Colombian, “I want you to keep an […]
Like punching Bambi in the face
We were sent an ARC of this book. The author wrote, and I quote: Well, keep in mind, another author said “Well, this is sweet for YOU.” *grins*. Cool! How bad could it be? Patty: So, there’s this author… she loves to give her characters a HEA but not before she skins them alive, pours gasoline on them, and reaches into her pocket for a lighter. Katie: I’m not sure how, exactly, but at some point Rhys Ford added PattyKates to her list of ARC […]
Not Just Another Brick in the Wall
Patty: Serendipity, I tell ya. The fact that we are reviewing a book on Superbowl Sunday – a book where the hero is a professional football player – is prophetic. Warning: I am aware of football; I understand the general gist of what all is supposed to happen, but I am not a fan nor do I really agree with the purported logic behind the game. Katie hails from one of those states where it’s like a religion, so she might have to clarify some […]
He’s Got “Legs” and He Knows How To Use Them
Katie: So, I get this email from Patty telling me about this book that she’s come across that HAS to be our next review. I’m skeptical, but since she was willing to pay, I couldn’t say no. I was very pleasantly surprised to really enjoy the first forty pages or so of Wriggle and Sparkle by Megan Derr. Enough so that I messaged her at 730 in the morning: Patty: I don’t… I’m not sure how to… So there’s a kraken and a unicorn and […]
GoT Fanfiction in Two Parts: Snark and SRSLY! OR, why we get drunk and know things
*This one needs a disclaimer and a trigger warning. In an attempt to rationalize the thought process behind the idea that a romance novel could employ the tropes that this one does (Enemies to lovers, Kidnapped, Marriage of convenience, Mistaken identity and Victim falls for rapist) and still find a welcoming readership, there may be a bit of Devil’s Advocate stances tossed about. Please note: this is strictly an exercise in disambiguation and a genuine attempt to understand how this story could be conceived, presented […]
