Amy Lane’s Sidecar is a lovely trifle of a book that was sent to me by *Name Redacted* (oops! I mean Patty!) a couple of weeks ago, but I’ve only just gotten around to giving it a try because I was preoccupied with reading about Thea Harrison’s Wyr folk and Jordan Castillo Price’s Psycop world. It made for a nice change of pace from the (well-written and enjoyable) alternate worlds of those authors. There was no magic, or ghosts, or psychic talents, or anything of that sort. Instead, […]
Criss Cross is gonna make you jump jump

(Although it must be said that I’m definitely Team Jake. He may be an assassin, but I like Liv better when she’s with him. Fitz is such a dick.) Oh, wait. I’m supposed to be writing about Hate F*@k, not Scandal. This may require a new bottle of Rex Goliath. […]
