Welcome to Litsy!

I chose this book because I‘m curious about the grimdark sub-genre, and this was listed in more than one place as a “must read.” While I couldn‘t say if this is a definitively representative grimdark title, I can definitively say I LOVED THIS BOOK! It‘s a fantasy with a noir feel and a sprinkling of horror. I can‘t wait to read the next in the series! 📚

“Up close, she seemed like someone better seen from farther away.”

A curious mix of urban fantasy and crime noir that shouldn't work, but blends together excellently. The MC is an ex-detective for the city of Rigus, fallen from grace for, as yet unknown reasons, who now works as a drug dealer in the slums of Low Town. His old detective instincts stir when a child murder leads to a bigger conspiracy. Book 1 of a trilogy. 4 💥💥💥💥

Ugly cover though, looks like a gem sprouting hair 🤣🤣

3. I had 3 days off at the beginning of the week to relax and catch up on some reading. If I hadn't had a touch of the flu, it would have been perfect. 😁

Wasn‘t for me. I couldn‘t connect with the characters or the story.

Starting this one tonight since I need a new audiobook to listen to in the car.

My thoughts on this one flipped between wanting it to just be done, already. And seeing myself tearing through the rest of the series. In the end, while I did enjoy it, and liked the gang at The Earl. I don't think I'll continue with more.

I was able to get into this finally-knocked out the last hundred pages today. I figured out the end before the big reveal but still enjoyed it

Having a hard time getting into this--the night circus had me flying through the pages while it's a struggle to read more than a chapter of this. I don't think it's the story necessarily, but I dunno. I'd like to get it done before the December so I can start my Christmas read though

3 of my New York finds in a row. This one's up next

Came across a yard sale! Lots of good finds for cheap

A brilliant start to an exciting and intriguing series

Had a Facebook bookish chain mail pyramid scheme thing last week and got my first book today!!!
