First things first: if it’s been a while since you’ve read The Girl With All The Gifts, you should probably re-read it or at least give it a skim. I ended up having to reference The Girl With All The Gifts a few times to be able to properly set… Read more »
Whilst in the middle of this book, I woke up at 3 am to take care of the sort of business pregnant people take care of at 3 in the morning, and as I was going back to sleep, I found myself thinking, ‘I could grab my phone and read… 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 »
First things first: I love everything I’ve read so far by M.R. Carey, starting with his run on the X-Men comics all the way through The Girl With All The Gifts. I especially adore his Felix Castor series, and it’s still one of my favorite urban fantasy series. So I might… 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 »

I’m already a fan of Gail Carriger’s work. The Parasol Protectorate books are witty and entertaining, and so I was excited to read Prudence, the first book in her new Custard Protocol series set in the same universe. Prudence is a charming adventure that dips its toes into the problems of… Read more »
Beware! This review will contain spoilers for Parasite, the first book in the Parasitology series! It’s kind of inevitable in a book 2 review, but unless you want to be spoiled, don’t read this review unless you’ve already read Parasite. Symbiont is a good read. It has a lot of… 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 »
