Norwegian secondary school teacher, Geek and reading enthusiast. Married with two cats. Mother of little boy, born in February 2018. Cannonball-veteran. Loves fantasy, romance and YA. Pretty much hates Modernist lit and stream of consciousness writing, yet married a man whose favourite book is James Joyce's Ulysses, so there you go. Strongly opinionated about many things.

Malin's Reviews:

This book is still perfection to me

April 29, 2018 by Malin Leave a Comment

This is a re-read. My original review can be found here. If you do read my original write-up of this book, you will see just how full of superlatives I was for this book. It is very rare that I just can’t concentrate on other books before I’ve read a book at least twice, just to get it out of my system a little bit. This is one of the few books I can remember that happening with. There are very few books out there that […]

“I’m all hard edges, Sebastian. Hard edges and crumpled pieces and broken pieces of glass. There is no way for you to win this”

This is a re-read, my original review of this book can be found here. The book can be read on its own, but works better if you’ve read at least The Heiress Effect.  The final book in a trilogy is always supposed to be about the most complicated of the characters, right? As it turns out, this wasn’t actually the final book in the series, as the novella Ms Milan intended for Free Marshall turned into a fourth novel, but this is nevertheless the book and the […]

So many different things that can petrify you

This is book 3 in a series. If you want to start at the beginning, check out Discount Armageddon. From Goodreads: When Alex Price agreed to go to Ohio to oversee a basilisk breeding program and assist in the recovery of his psychic cousin, he didn’t expect people to start dropping dead. But bodies are cropping up at the zoo where he works, and his girlfriend – Shelby Tanner, an Australian zoologist with a fondness for big cats – is starting to get suspicious.  Worse yet, the […]

Trying to avoid marriage by all means possible

April 20, 2018 by Malin 1 Comment

This is my first re-read of this book (as it was my least favourite of The Brothers Sinister series). My original review can be found here. When I first read this book, I had very high expectations, because I always do when reading a Courtney Milan novel. They are more often than not little masterpieces, that utterly transport me away and make me feel all the feels. Oliver Marshall is a good supporting character in The Duchess War, but disappointed me as a hero in his own story. He does […]
