I have to say, I’m really digging this series. Winter of the Gods is an excellent follow-up to The Immortals (reviewed here), the dark middle chapter of Jordanna Max Brodsky’s Olympus Bound trilogy. Brodsky takes the world she built in The Immortals and expands it beyond just the reach of the Olympian gods…. Read more »
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 »
This was an odd book. Not that that’s negative; in fact, I actually liked the book quite a lot. But Saintcrow has managed to write the fae so alien that I felt slightly off kilter during my entire read, and that’s an impressive feat. The book is filled nearly to… Read more »
This is one of those reviews that’s difficult to write. It’s not difficult because I disliked the book or anything like that; it’s that I want to grab your hands and jump up and down and scream about how much I loved it, and… well, that doesn’t translate into an… Read more »
Let me start out saying that I really like this series, and I did enjoy this book a lot. I sneaked reading time when it was socially awkward for me to do so. I like the urban fantasy setting and the characters are a lot of fun. But (and this… Read more »
I snagged a book from the Amazon Vine program, and when it arrived, I realized… it was book 2 in the Relic Seekers series. The premise sounded really cool (I like treasure hunter stories, and hey, adding in some supernatural elements is cool, too), so I picked up Guardians of Stone,… Read more »
I like urban fantasy, and I like police procedural shows, so it stands to reason that I’d enjoy a police procedural with fantasy elements.  And I really do enjoy urban fantasy cop novels, or at least ones that are as entertaining as Dirty Magic is.  I’ve seen books by Jaye Wells… Read more »
I finally finished reading Ann Aguirre’s fourth Corine Solomon novel, Devil’s Punch, last night, and let me just say “OH MY GOD, I CAN’T BELIEVE IT ENDED LIKE THAT.” I’m going to try for spoiler-free for this book, but there will inevitably be spoilers for the first three books in the… Read more »
I really wanted to like this book. I mean really wanted to like it.  The worldbuilding is really fascinating and well done.  I like the little bits of mythology that seep through the narrative.  But man, I just couldn’t get myself to care about the characters.  I made it about 250… Read more »
There’s a point where I love a book so much that it becomes difficult to write a review. Instead of a thoughtful look at why I loved that book, I want to flail and squee incoherently about how awesome it is. One Salt Sea is one of those books. I’m… Read more »
