This is one of my old favorites – just reread it so I thought I would write a review. “Blood Price” is the first of the “Blood Books”series. I would recommend them all – they form a good story arc. If you want to keep on going, Tanya Huff has follow on stories in the “Smoke and Ashes” series that I would also recommend. This book falls into the category of “urban fantasy” but it is an early example of the genre as it was written […]
No, the heroine is NOT a burlesque streetwalker, despite what the cover may imply
In an alternate history Victorian London with Steampunk gadgets, werewolves, a ruling nobility known as the Echelon, where the men are all enhanced with vampire blood, Miss Honoria Todd (who certainly doesn’t in any way dress or appear anything like the burlesque streetwalker on the cover of the book) has been forced to move to the Rookeries of Whitechapel after the death of her father. She is working as an elocution coach under an assumed name to support her younger sister (who also takes in […]
If you go into the woods today, beware the bunnies (and all the other animals)
Nurse Letitia “Tish” Everett has only really started recovering from her very controlling, emotionally and physically abusive fiancee Jeff, when she’s drawn to a tarnished antique locket at an estate sale and actually ends up shocking herself by stealing it. After managing to force it open, she is splashed by luminous crimson liquid. Inside the locket, there is a portrait of a darkly handsome man she think of as a “naughty Mr. Darcy” and a foreign inscription of some kind. Falling asleep with the locket […]
Kim Harrison finishes a series and I finish my double Cannonball
This is the thirteenth and final book in the Hollows series, and as such, a really very stupid place to start reading. Start at the beginning with Dead Witch Walking. I also shouldn’t have to tell you that this book will most likely contain spoilers for previous books in the series. You have been warned. Proceed at your own risk. Rachel Morgan’s life hasn’t exactly been peaceful since she decided to become an independent runner and start her own business with her vampire friend Ivy and the pixy Jenks. […]
Oberon the wolfhound is my favourite character
I’m sorry, but if I’m ever going to reach my double Cannonball, I’m going to have to cut corners somewhere: Atticus O’Sullivan, last of the Druids, lives peacefully in Arizona, running an occult bookshop and shape-shifting in his spare time to hunt with his Irish wolfhound. His neighbours and customers think that this handsome, tattooed Irish dude is about twenty-one years old, when in actuality, he’s twenty-one centuries old. Not to mention: he draws his power from the earth, possesses a sharp wit, and wields […]
Ugh (a review in Drag Race gifs)
No Rest for the Wicked was almost offensively boring, and when it wasn’t boring, it was offensive. It also has 4.3 stars on Goodreads. I don’t think this book bothers to take itself seriously, so I won’t give it a serious review. Kresley Cole essentially plagiarizes herself with every novel, so I see no problem with taking plagiarism to its logical end and relying mostly on the work of others to get my point across here. I’m going with RuPaul and her girls as my muses […]
