The book was absolutely NOT better

October 22, 2018 by Malin Leave a Comment

#CBR10Bingo: The Book was Better?  Spoiler Warning! This has already been reviewed a ton of times – there will be some vague spoilers, but nothing that should ruin the film or the book for anyone. Rachel Chu is an economics professor in New York. Her boyfriend of two years, Nick Young, a history professor at the same university, invites her to go to Asia with him for the summer, to attend his best friend’s wedding. Rachel has no idea that Nick’s family is one of the wealthiest […]

Some more of Toby’s rather complicated family relationships are revealed

October 17, 2018 by Malin 1 Comment

Spoiler warning! This is book 12 in an ongoing series, it is NOT the place to start. There will be minor spoilers for previous books in the series, as it’s impossible to discuss this book without mentioning things that have happened in earlier books. If you’re interested (and you should be, this is one of the best urban/paranormal fantasy series out there right now), start with book 1, Rosemary and Rue.  Faerie knight and champion, and former private investigator October “Toby” Daye is not doing so well. […]

#CBR10Bingo: This Old Thing – Kilmeny of the Orchard, or most likely my worst book of the year

September 18, 2018 by Malin 5 Comments

#CBR10Bingo: This Old Thing (published in 1910) Spoiler warning! There will be a number of spoilers for the plot of this book, because the only way I will be able to fully vent my spleen on this atrocious piece of writing is by going into minute detail about the MANY things I found dumb, objectionable or downright offensive in this book. You might as well allow yourself to be spoiled, this book is bad and you don’t actually want to waste time reading it. Eric Marshall has […]

Find your inner superheroine

September 16, 2018 by Malin 2 Comments

SPOILER WARNING! As I’m reviewing all three books in a trilogy, it’s going to be difficult for me to discuss the books without minor spoilers, especially in books 2 and 3, as they naturally follow on from and develop stuff that’s gone before in the series. So if you want to approach this series entirely spoiler free – you may just want to read the synopsis for book 1. #CBR10Bingo: Heroine Complex: So it begins Heroine Complex – 4.5 stars Evie Tanaka is the long-suffering and ever patient personal assistant […]
