I am usually loathe to start a new series, especially when I have so many incomplete ones. But something about this book was too appealing for me to pass up on. After reading it, I’m so glad I gave it a shot! Here is my review: In her prime, Brigid Quinn not only worked serial killer cases as an FBI…
Series
The Cruel Prince by Holly Black – Folk of the Air #1
I was so tempted to read this story because of its allusions to the fae. I love anything to do with the fair folk and I never resist the opportunity to read something that takes place in that world. This novel not only had that, but it also had a very interesting story. Here is my review: When Jude was…
Thunderhead by Neal Shusterman – Arc of a Scythe #2
I received this novel as an advance copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. You might recall that I recently read Scythe by Neal Shusterman. I had loved the premise of the novel and while it did have its flaws, I still enjoyed reading it. When I found out there was a sequel, I couldn’t wait to get my…
The Kept Woman by Karin Slaughter – Will Trent #8
Happy New Year, everyone! I hope everyone had a wonderful time with their family and friends – and their books, of course! I spent my break with my family and my AMAZING cousin helped me make a TON of changes to my blog (as you can see) so I hope you all like the new look! I wanted to start my…
Witches of Lychford by Paul Cornell – Lychford #1
Yay for urban fantasy stories featuring witches! I really wanted to get myself into a short book, and what better way than to read a novella? When a supermarket wants to build a major branch, the villagers of Lychford are divided. Some are open to the prospect of new employment opportunities, while some object to the modernization of the local…
Soulless by Gail Carriger – Parasol Protectorate #1
Going into this novel, I had no idea what to expect. All I knew was that the premise contained all of my favorite things: supernatural beings, the Victorian era, and a feisty heroine. That was enough to intrigue me and give this book a shot. After reading it, I am so glad I did. Here is my review: Alexia Tarabotti…
Scythe by Neal Shusterman – Arc of a Scythe #1
As soon as I read the premise for this novel, I knew I had to give this book a shot. It was a short blurb but it contained everything it needed to pique my interest. It’s about 400 pages…. and I devoured it in one sitting. Here is my review: Thou shalt kill. In a world where hunger, disease, and…
The Girl in the Tower by Katherine Arden – Winternight Trilogy #2
I’m so lucky to have gotten my hands on this book as soon as it released! I have been really bad when it comes to series; I almost always preorder the books, but when they arrive, I never read them. This is what has happened with the Queen of the Tearling series (I promise I will get to it soon!),…
Brimstone by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child – Pendergast #5
I’m staying up to date and continuing to work through this series. There are so many novels that this duo has written as part of the Pendergast series that it is daunting. But I feel like I will eventually catch up, especially if I keep reading one book from this series every month or so! Anyways, enough rambling, here is…
The Reluctant Queen by Sarah Beth Durst – Queens of Renthia #2
I loved the first book in this series Queen of Blood and I knew I had to get my hands on the second one. As soon as it came out, I went and bought it. But that’s where I made the mistake. You see, when I buy books, I get really excited to read them… but then they end up on…
