Don’t rub her the wrong way…

Magic Shifts by Ilona Andrews

April 21, 2018 by TheShitWizard 4 Comments

Don’t rub her the wrong way…

I’m trying to space the last of these books out a little but kind of failing at that thanks to how insanely readable they are, especially while real life is a little tough, so it’s nice to wrap myself up in a world that’s so easy to get lost in (even if the characters lives are infinitely more stressful than mine). Having made a deal with Roland following her claiming of Atlanta to step away from the Pack, Kate and Curran are trying to get used to suburban life. Suburbia isn’t quite so boring in Atlanta though, as it’s currently […]

Snow White Trades in Woodland Creatures for a Badge

Indexing by Seanan McGuire

April 17, 2018 by Jen K Leave a Comment

Snow White Trades in Woodland Creatures for a Badge

Being caught up on all the InCryptid novels and the short stories/novellas that are available for free (there are a few more in collections I don’t feel like paying for yet), I continued down the Seanan McGuire rabbit hole to this novel.  While it didn’t grip me as quickly as the InCryptid series, I enjoyed the concept, and ended up having fun once I got used to the characters and the team. This was originally written as a Kindle Serial, and while it is now a complete novel, it is obvious that this was released in parts since the chapters […]

Getting closer to the end game…

Magic Breaks by Ilona Andrews

April 15, 2018 by TheShitWizard 2 Comments

Getting closer to the end game…

The seventh book in the Kate Daniels series (I can’t believe how quickly I’m getting through these, I’m gonna have to start trying to drag these out a bit), Magic Breaks takes us back to Atlanta, where Kate and Curran are on high alert, knowing that Kate’s big secret is now known to Hugh d’Ambray. And sure enough, we’ve hardly been back five minutes before Hugh makes his play – having first had Curran lured away for a diplomatic hunt – and lays siege to the Keep. And while Kate may have a thousand or so shapeshifters at her back, […]

Flames…flames on the side of my face

Magic Rises by Ilona Andrews

April 8, 2018 by TheShitWizard 5 Comments

Flames…flames on the side of my face

OK, I may be getting somewhat over-invested in these books, if the towering rage that I spent two thirds of it is anything to go by… When Kate and Curran are asked to travel to Europe to protect a pregnant shapeshifter from the two rival clans whose members may have impregnated her (and her Dad’s clan too, just because he’s a dick), they know that they are walking into a trap. Being aware of said trap, they’re pretty certain they can deal with whatever the consequences of their trip may be. Unfortunately for my blood pressure, they haven’t quite anticipated […]

Hard, HARD pass

The Unleasing by Shelly Laurenston

April 6, 2018 by melanir 2 Comments

I wanted very much to like this book. I saw a review for it here on Cannonball and it seemed like exactly the kind of silly, light fluff that I was feeling. And it is? But there were just too many other problems with the book, from bad writing choices to flat characters to terrible plotting, that detracted from the book and I ended up hate reading the last half of it. Most damning was that I bounced hard off the main philosophy behind the book. I honestly find it kind of despicable and gross. I’m just not interested in […]

Drunk vikings make everything better.

Magic Gifts by Ilona Andrews

April 5, 2018 by TheShitWizard 2 Comments

Drunk vikings make everything better.

A novella from the world of Kate Daniels, it seems that Magic Gifts should have been read prior to Gunmetal Magic as it takes place at the same time as certain events from the beginning of the latter book, letting us see what Kate was up to whilst Andrea was stomping around the city in beastkin form. However, reading it a little out of order didn’t diminish the experience at all. Starting with a rare dinner date for Kate and Curran, they’re soon up to their necks in all things nasty once more when a magical necklace chokes the life […]

The Second Happiest Place in the World

Tricks for Free by Seanan McGuire

April 4, 2018 by Jen K Leave a Comment

The Second Happiest Place in the World

After fleeing from the Covenant, Annie ran to Lowryland, a Disney World knock off (Disney exists in this universe, and Lowryland knows it comes in second), since being in large crowds would make it more difficult track her, even by magical means. When Annie arrives in Lowryland, she honestly expects to be fully on her own for the first time in her life, having even sent her Aeslin mice companions, Mindy and Mork of the Lost Colony, to Oregon. Luckily, once she’s hired and in line for housing, she runs into one of her roller derby friends, who is a […]

When You’re Expecting The Skulls but get Carnivale

Magic for Nothing by Seanan McGuire

April 4, 2018 by Jen K Leave a Comment

When You’re Expecting The Skulls but get Carnivale

After five novels, Antimony “Annie” Price, the youngest Price sibling finally gets to say her piece.  While her older siblings see Antimony as the trap and ambush setting younger sister who has been hanging out at home post high school and playing roller derby, Annie has a rather different view.  She is the good, loyal daughter while Verity craves the spotlight, and as a result got them into their current mess: after battling a snake summoned from an alternate dimension on live TV and revealing herself as a Price to the world – and the Covenant – the family is […]
