Okay, so what have we got here? Magic, pirate women, in fact – a pirate ship with an all-women crew (well, aside from a ghost and an owl), a brilliant library within said pirate ship, adventure and hidden mysterious treasures!! And a girl who gets told that “girls don’t go on adventures” and “girls can’t do anything”, when it’s painfully…

Today I want to share a book series that’s been really warming me up in the past half a year or so. A Summoning of Souls is book 3 in the Spectral City series, a story about the living working with the dead on a common goal – ensuring the safety of New York. The books focus on the first Ghost…

There are books you read that engross you so much, you develop these love-hate relationships with the characters. You toss these books over the room when that silly ass girl does this or that. You curse under your breath in a coffee shop when that guy won’t follow through with his romantic intentions despite all sanity and reason pointing to…

I’ve been having so much fun with this series – and finally it’s time for another review. The Wrongful Death, or The Great Devil War #3, sequel to The Devil’s Apprentice and The Die of Death was a really nice read. What’s interesting about it is that it puts the old fun style adventures together with something much more serious…

Finally, it’s my stop on the blog tour for book two of this wonderful series! I loved The Devil’s Apprentice so much that I couldn’t wait to read the next one. I even bought myself a copy and was about to start reading when I was invited to a blog tour for the sequel! Of course I jumped at the…

I have an interesting little story regarding this book! Disclaimer: read on for possibly boring personal life details and a lot of bitching about life 😂 you have been warned! (If you just want the review, scroll to the place with the name of the book! It starts there.) Since I’ve written and rewritten this first paragraph five times now…

Okay, so. This isn’t going to be the most traditional post ever. But that is okay! Because it’s going to be ALL about fangirling and fantasy, and I know you all like that stuff. We all like this! What could be more fun?!! Anyway, a little bit more about what prompted this fangirling session in particular. Here you have a…

It looks as if I’m in love with a new urban mystery series!!! I tend to be quite picky about my urban mysteries, but this series checks off so many things on my list. I’m very excited to have found The Spectral City series and I hope I’ll be able to convince you that you should start reading it right…

Sometimes we value things based on how much they cost us. We can’t really help it, it’s simply psychology, or maybe its societal. But that’s not always right, and it certainly wasn’t when it came to The Sundered. Because I got this book as a freebie or review copy before I even blogged, and let it sit unread on my…

Wow. Two things. First, The Hike is high as all hell on LSD or something. Second, its absolutely bloody brilliant. The Hike isn’t a book for everyone. There will be a lot of people who will finish it with a “wtf did I just read”, or DNF it for the same reason. But at the same time, it’s got so…

Time for a mini-review again! I haven’t done a list review in forever, and I think it’s time. Especially because I’m so conflicted about The Path Keeper – it’s an okay book, and yet I struggled to get through the first half of it. Might be personal reasons, really – so I’ll try to lay out all of my complicated…

I was absolutely not lured into requesting a copy of The Haunting of Tram Car 015 by P. Djèlí Clark because of pure #coverlove. Lies and slander. What are you even talking about. ……… Well alright. Maybe there was a little bit of that. A teensy bit. But that’s not all there is to this book! There’s a lot that’s wonderful,…

The Girl Who Drank the Moon makes many ‘best of’ lists, so I was incredibly excited to finally be able to read it this year. And it was even more exciting, as we decided on a buddy read with Tânia @ My Lovely Secret. It was one of the most structured and fun buddy reads I’ve ever done! So what follows…
Continue Reading→When I first started my journey of following Ewan Pendle on his adventures, I remember giving the first book a half-star “in advance” – because I knew the story would eventually start rolling. Having finished Ewan Pendle and the Castle of Nightmares, I am glad to say that I knew what I was saying! The story indeed got rolling – so…

The Spec Set is not your typical YA. It’s actually not your typical book at all – I’m not sure I can even place it! It’s a unique bird, a true genre bender. But if I had to find a couple of words to characterize The Spec Set, I would say… Fast, surprising… Explosive. Both literally and figuratively! It turned…

I was sooooo excited when I found out that there was going to be a sequel for Spinning Silk, a paranormal fantasy set in Japan I greatly enjoyed last spring! Of course I jumped at the chance to read it, and after I did? I’m even more excited! Cause there’s going to be part 3! I was lucky because I…

I am so lucky to have been able to read The Winter of the Witch before its release! I have been following this series ever since I started blogging, and I have to say, I think The Winter of the Witch is the best installment. This doesn’t happen very often! We all know that it’s usually the first book that’s the best, and…

This has probably been one of my top 5 books all year! And you know I know what I’m saying, because I’ve read 142 books so far, in 2018. I can’t believe I almost said no to this gem, when the author sent me a review request – I was overloaded on review copies at the time. Little did I…

I have waited for a sequel to Creatures of Will and Temper for a year now! I was very excited to be able to read it, and very thankful to both the publisher and Molly Tanzer herself who was so sweet to help me out to procure a review copy as an international reviewer – considering how NetGalley makes us…
