I have such a love hate relationship with the world of this series. I’m honestly not sure why I keep reading them. I feel like I need to do some sort of psychological deep dive into this. I like this kind of story, and the world building is pretty unique, but I think there’s something […]

This is the prequel to Legends and Lattes, when Viv is a young, dumb, mercenary, and gets herself injured. The merc company she’s running with leaves her in the town of Murk to recover. What follows is as much of a nice warm hug of a book as the last one, as Viv helps the

Dellaria Wells is just trying to make her rent, and keep her mother off the street. She’s a fire witch with some power, but it’s not like that’ll make her money. Until the day that she bumbles her way into a job as one of the bodyguards to a young lady who’s headed out to

This is a fun continuation of Indexing. What I was interested to read at the end was that the author hadn’t necessarily meant to write another set of stories about these characters, but people kept asking her what was going to come next. Having fairly recently read the original book, I’m not surprised. While that

This is the second book in a series where the Godmother of this world may or may not be an evil enchantress – she’s constantly making deals with people that start out fine, quickly go downhill, but then turn out in such a way that everything will probably work out for the best. We met

I really enjoyed this book – it’s got a pretty unique magic system, with a religion that’s actually based on not having gods, and taking good works in your own hands. The two main characters are Alexei – a priest of this faith, and Kasia, who does tarot readings, and has an interesting past that

I recently managed to a get a good deal on the Kindle version of this book, and after finishing off two books that I had to struggle through, I decided to treat myself to something I knew I’d enjoy. Here’s my original review. I don’t usually do re-reviews on this blog, but I had a

Here’s another book that took me being on an airplane to finish. And I’m very much not sure what I read. It’s insane. A group of kids get adopted by a man that is actually a powerful being with a cosmic library he’s written. Each kid learns a particular branch of the knowledge, and they’re

It took being on an airplane for me to finish this book. I kept going because the world is interesting, and I wanted to see when the story would start. I think it’s started by the end of the book, but I’m not really sure. There are a ton of POVs, though some of those

This is an interesting take on Sherlock Holmes – in this case, he’s an angel, which explains why he’s not the best at personal interactions with regular people. The angels bring some magic in the world, which is a nice extra touch – it’s not overdone, just there, and just enough to make the story
