The Book of Life is the explosive finale of the All Souls Trilogy. In a way, I'm sad to see this trilogy come to end because I fell in love with Deborah Harkness's writing and her characters. This trilogy remains one of my favorites, not only because of the amazing story but because of the attention to detail, the countless, beautiful settings and the imaginative paranormal world.After venturing in Elizabethan London and sixteenth century Europe,...

I'm not a big fan of M. J. Scott's Half Light City series but she's completely won me over with THE SHATTERED COURT. It's a compelling story and the start of what looks to be a truly engaging series. It's been a while since I've read a book that captured my attention as thoroughly as THE SHATTERED COURT has. The characters and mythology are so very interesting and Scott's done a marvellous job with them!As always, mythology...

Everything Andy and Ami went through in the past two novels leads to this Epic conclusion, this time lead by Ursula, the eldest sister. The faith of the Twelves Kingdoms lays on her shoulders as she has to juggle between an erratic King, the disappearance of her youngest sister along with her children, and her desire to honor her mother's memory. Of course, there also needs to be a man in the picture, and this one is probably my favorite of...
The Amulet of Samarkand is the first book in an older series, the Bartimaeus trilogy. And I'm so glad that it's an older series! This first book was so good, I'm already excited to binge the series. This middle grades book was just as enjoyable for me (supposedly an adult, lol) as it would be for an actual middle schooler. One of the main characters, Bartimaeus, has a great, snarky sense of humor that had me chuckling out...
I hope that nobody is getting too tired of my love affair with anthologies. This one, however, is an anthology with a difference. More than just stories along a common theme, Wild Cards is a single story but, from many mouths. Martina and Dozois bring together the talents of many authors to tell us a tale of many tales. We get to see the genesis of a class of humanity. We even get to meet...

This whole endeavor started to protect Jill from ill intentioned Moroi and yet nothing ever threatened her... until now. Sydney and Adrian want more than anything to retrieve the sweet girl, but locked away at court to stay protected from the Alchemists is making it very hard to run an investigation.

The Time Fetch follows young teens Edward (Dweebo to some), Danton, Feenix (Edith to her mother), and Brigit as they discover a stone that holds time foragers, fight to restore order to their world as the time foragers rapidly eat away at their town, and struggle to grow into themselves and discover the good in those around them.I would only give The Time Fetch 2 or 3 stars out of 5, but I want to give a caveat right up front: I read this book right after a fantastic one, and I read it over a very busy few days in my personal life....
As you can see, the winner of my poll was Sookie Stackhouse series by Charlaine Harris. For all those who participated, thank you very much. It was close but, in the end, the numbers were clear on who won.Ms. Harris does a wonderful job of introducing the reader to the characters of the story through the eyes of Sookie Stackhouse herself. Being familiar with the TV show, I was familiar with Sookie and her brother Jason even...
This is a big book. Honestly, it was a little intimidating at first, but like any other Black Dagger Brotherhood book, it's easy to read. In the last few books, this series disappointed me a little bit, but it has redeemed itself in my view with The Shadows. There's a lot of point of views in this book, which makes it a little hard to follow at times, but each point of view is interesting enough. The continuation of many story lines and the introduction...
I was very disappointed by WOULD-BE WITCH. Based on the description and the blurbs, I was expecting a Janet Evanovich-style story -- some sexy moments, lots of laughs -- but WOULD-BE WITCH was nothing like that for me. I can see where someone might have gotten that idea and perhaps this book will appeal to other readers who enjoy humorous stories but I was quite let down by this novel. It has pieces of what could be a good book but...

What a difficult situation! Sydney has been kidnapped by the Alchemists and sent to re-education. Can Adrian find her before they completely brainwash her? Or will he fall to despair and get back to his old way to cope?This Bloodlines series is getting more and more intense! Mead really raised the bar when she split them apart, exposing their weaknesses and strengths in turns. I truly loved and respected Sydney's determination to not bend her will,...
Ohmygoodness how much did I LOVE this book?! <--See? I can't even write coherently or maturely about it. Too excited. I've been waiting nearly a year since the last book in the series! That was entirely too long. And now I'll probably have to wait another year for the next book.... If you haven't yet started this series, I do recommend that you start with the first book, The Name of the...
This is one of my favorite ways to find new story sources, the anthology. I know there are some who aren't partial to anthologies but, when they are good, I can't help myself. It's like a two pound box of See's Nuts and Chews all for me. In the case of Carniepunk, there are more nuts than anything else. This is a collection of strange tales that are all set in the creepiest yet alluring place, the carnival. Bright...

This book is definitely interesting. There's something mysterious and captivating behind the story and the characters kept me engaged through it all. I'll be the first to admit that this book isn't for everyone. From the various Goodreads reviews, it's obvious readers will have different responses to this first book of the series.Midnight, Texas is a very small town. It's home to a variety of interesting characters, including a psychic, a witch,...
