Thirteen by Kelley Armstrong My rating: 5 of 5 stars Well, Armstrong definitely closed the series with a bang. I enjoyed this volume so much that I’m tempted to go back and re-read the entire series just to have more right now. All the characters we’ve gotten to know are back: Clay, Elena, Jaime, Jeremy, Hope, Karl, […]
Book Review: Enthralled edited by Melissa Marr and Kelley Armstrong
Enthralled by Melissa Marr My rating: 3 of 5 stars Journeys, literal or otherwise, are the theme of this young adult anthology. Appropriately enough, it was conceived as the result of a book tour. “Giovanni’s Farewell” by Claudia Gray is a sweet, coming-of-age story of sorts. The twist is that it features a brother and sister, twins, rather […]
Review: Spellbound by Kelley Armstrong
Spell Bound by Kelley Armstrong My rating: 4 of 5 stars Waking the Witch and Spell Bound should truly be read back to back. In fact, they should be read with 13 on hand, almost as a trilogy within the series. At the end of Waking the Witch, Savannah silently thought that if it would reunite […]
Book Review: Blood Lite III: Aftertaste edited by Kevin J. Anderson
Blood Lite III: Aftertaste by Kevin J. Anderson My rating: 2 of 5 stars This anthology is supposed to be humorous horror. I have a message for Kevin J. Anderson: grossness is not nearly enough for humor. I hope volume two was funnier (I haven’t read it yet), but if it was as bad as this […]
Review: The Mammoth Book of Paranormal Romance edited by Trisha Telep
The Mammoth Book of Paranormal Romance by Trisha Telep My review rating: 4 of 5 starsI’m extremely surprised by how much I enjoyed this anthology! I picked it up intending to just read the stories by authors I know I like—Kelley Armstrong, Ilona Andrews, Carrie Vaughn, Holly Lisle, Jeaniene Frost, Maria V. Snyder. I had […]
Books Books Books!
Yes, the girl and I managed a library run (to the GOOD library) on Friday. It took more time and energy than expected, of course, but we got a bunch of very good books. I read My Big Fat Supernatural Honeymoon last night, with much giggling. The stories were a bit uneven (normal for an anthology), […]
Presentation Done, Good Reading
I can’t talk about the presentation. I might have flashbacks. The fact that BOTH my classes that start next week have group projects is NOT giving me a happy. However, I did read Kelly Armstrong’s latest Women of the Otherworld book, Personal Demon, yesterday, and then Dana Stabenow’s Prepared for Rage today. They were good.
Happy Wednesday!
Sam and I had a very nice date night while Katie was out with her beau. He had started making chili last night, finished it tonight, and added corn muffins. I’m not a big fan of chili (I won’t eat it if Sam didn’t make it), but it was a very satisfying meal. The girl is […]
Review: Exit Strategy by Kelley Armstrong
Cool under pressure. If they posted employment ads for hitmen, that’d be the number two requirement, right after detail-oriented. A good hitman must possess the perfect blend of personality type A and B traits, a control freak who obsesses over every clothing fiber yet projects the demeanor of the most laid-back slacker. After pulling a […]
