To follow from Tori’s previous review of Clockwork Angel, I have decided to review Clockwork Prince. I enjoy Cassandra Clare’s books as a whole, but The Infernal Devices have captivated me in a way decidedly different to The Mortal Instruments series. In a lot of ways, I find The Infernal Devices easier to relate to. I’m …
This is less a review and more of an epic fangirl flail, because you guys, I have it bad. And not just for the snarky boy, Will, who is charming and beautiful but pushes everyone away. Of course, let’s face it, he had me at his line about how the person rescuing you is never …
This is my vastly overdue post series concerning the above signing, for which I apologise. I was fortunate enough to be able to attend this at the end of May. The London weather was beautiful and I was very lucky! The signing was organised through Foyles, a bookstore in London which I cannot recommend enough, as …
Confession: before tonight, I had never, ever been to Third Place Books in Lake Forest Park. It turns out it’s not actually way outside of town. It’s an easy SoundTransit bus trip (less easy because like an idiot I let my Orca card go empty, but that’s my problem). Anyhow, fun atmosphere, great staff, and …
Last week, the second to last installment of Charlaine Harris’ Sookie Stackhouse Southern Mysteries hit shelves. I actually thought it was the final book and despite my gripes with the last few, I wanted to see how it ended. Deadlocked is a surprising improvement. The mysteries are actually suspenseful, some of the reveals were impressively …
Verity Price loves ballroom dance so much, she’s moved to New York City to see if she can make it into a career, and works as a cocktail waitress to pay the bills. But as a Price girl, she’s also a cryptozoologist, a trained fighter, and a sworn protector of cryptids (monsters, ghouls, and the …
(If you’re interested, please see Tori’s previous review of the first book in this series, Bloodshot, before reading this review.) Cherie Priest’s urbane, sharp and downright brilliant vampire protagonist Raylene Pendle is back in Hellbent. An accomplished freelance thief sometimes known by the name of Cheshire Red, with a more than slight case of OCD …
Confession time: I didn’t realize I could be a bigger Tybalt fan-girl until I read this. He is just too great (and too adorable, though he’d kick me for saying so) in this book. Seriously, if you like him and you haven’t read it yet, go get it now. You won’t regret it. Meanwhile, I’m …
October “Toby” Daye is basically the female equivalent to Harry Dresden, and that is a good thing. She’s not a wizard, but she is a faerie changeling which gives her some power. More, she’s a born, if somewhat reluctant, hero, who cannot leave the innocent behind even if it means her own demise. And she …
Only Maureen Johnson could put a character named Boo into a novel about ghosts and make it believable. But I’m getting ahead of myself. The Name of the Star is Johnson’s newest book, and the first in a series called “Shades of London.” It’s about a girl, Rory, who moves to London for school in …
