Sucker Punch by Laurell K. Hamilton My rating: 3 of 5 stars Boring! If I hadn’t been having trouble finding enough to read, I wouldn’t have finished it. I thought there was too much talking in Serpentine, but this volume takes…

The Annihilation Score by Charles Stross This is the sixth book of the Laundry Files and the first to be narrated by Mo instead of her husband. The plot kept me thoroughly engaged, and I enjoyed Mo’s voice — it…
