I’m always intrigued by books where I can’t decide if I like the main character or not. Selene DiSilva, formerly known as the goddess Artemis, is not the most likable person. She may have lost her divine powers along with the rest of the Greek gods, but she’s never really… Read more »
Somehow, I managed to go into this book with zero expectations and very little knowledge of the plot. I blame my recent book slump for being totally oblivious to pretty much everything but the title. But going in blind actually worked out quite well for me, based on some of… Read more »

Chimera is the final book in Mira Grant’s Parasitology trilogy, and it’s a solid finale to the story. It just didn’t grip me as much as the previous two books did. This review will be as spoiler-free as possible, but there will inevitably be some spoilers for the previous two… Read more »
