Don’t be suck a pain in the neck

The Accursed Vampire by Madeline McGrane

February 12, 2021 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

The Accursed Vampire looked like it would be a funny story. I mean, a story of three vampire kids? You know there is going to be hijinks. I was ready for Madeline McGrane to dazzle me. Instead, I was, not underwhelmed nor overwhelmed by the result. What happens when three kids set off on an adventure to steal a book that was stolen from the master of one of them? (A master who just happens to be a witch)? You get The Accursed Vampire. These […]

BOOKS! BOOKS! And…. well that’s it. Only two books.

I Love My Fangs! by Kelly Leigh Miller

Dinosong by Tim McCanna

February 5, 2021 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Two books that can be given to the child this Valentine’s Day: because we love books, teeth, vampires, and dinosaurs. Or, these are good if you are looking for something fun and few to read. I Love My Fangs! Well, actually, if I did have fangs, I would. You see, I am one of those odd people who never had “canine” teeth. I had teeth in that area but never those fangs I so admire in our hero young Dracula. And he really loves them, […]

Not exactly Little Red Riding Hood

Big Bad Wolf by Suleikha Snyder

February 2, 2021 by Malin 4 Comments

Disclaimer! I got an ARC from NetGalley. That has in no way influenced my review.   In a dystopian alternate reality, where the 2016 election led to the USA becoming a tightly regulated surveillance state, pretty much at the same time as the existence of a number of supernatural beings were revealed, several big cities, including New York, are now a Sanctuary City for supernaturals. Joe Peluso, an ex-soldier turned werewolf through military experimentation, is in prison for murdering six bear shifters with ties to […]

The ones that I couldn’t finish (NOT my double Cannonball!)

Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell by Susanna Clarke

Trelegemeproblemet (The Three-Body Problem) by Liu Cixin

Of Curses and Kisses by Sandhya Menon

American Demon by Kim Harrison

December 31, 2020 by Malin 1 Comment

Dear readers, I’m not going to lie, I’m racing against the clock to get all of my reviews finished in time for the CBR12 deadline (12 noon EST – or 6 pm Oslo time). I also need to finish 25% of the final novel I’m reviewing, co-parent my autocratic, demanding, and rather clingy almost-three-year-old, plan and prep a three-course New Year’s meal, and possibly do some last-minute shopping. No pressure, right? So when fellow Cannonballer Pixifer posted a review with all of her DNF’s for the year, […]

Blood, Iron, and Bone

Blood Bound by Patricia Briggs

Iron Kissed by Patricia Briggs

Bone Crossed by Patricia Briggs

December 30, 2020 by teresaelectro Leave a Comment

I started the Mercy Thompson series when Moon Called was selected for the VF book club in 2015. I enjoyed the first book but got caught up with other urban fantasy series from Ilona Andrews and Kim Harrison. Over the summer, I was reminded of the series during a virtual Mocha Girls Read meeting. I decided to dive back in with the audio narration and ended up reading three in a row. Mercedes (Mercy) Thompson isn’t looking for trouble in the tri-cities area of Washington. […]
