Revisiting this series after so so long with the aim to continue reading past where I left off last (all Mortal Instruments and Infernal Devices). It's been a lot of fun being back in this world. Bastet is just happy for cuddles.
pickWitches and vampires have been mortal enemies for centuries. When Diana Bishop, a descendant of witches, falls in love with Matthew Clairmont, a vampire, will their love be enough to unite worlds?
I loved this book; I would highly recommend it. I can‘t wait to read the rest of the trilogy.
pickThe simple concept in this ghostly novel - getting stuck in a liminal space between life and death - was evoked in such perfect, creepy detail that it kept me engaged even as the plot crawled along slowly for the first 2/3 of the novel. It reminded me of those days where everything feels a little surreal and dreamlike for reasons that are hard to describe. Not the outright scary Halloween read I was hoping for, but great atmosphere and characters.
pick‘Christine‘ is the November selection for my in-person Constant Reader book club. I‘ve seen the movie countless times and first read the book in 2018. While I enjoy watching the movie, I find that the book offers a more profound exploration of Christine‘s former owner, Roland D. LeBay‘s, life and family. The horror scenes in the book are far more intense, and the ending is much more suspenseful.

pickI read this in 2013 and I liked it, I may have read more of the series? I can‘t remember, but I have plenty of catching up to do regardless. So since 2006 we as a society are more aware of cultural appropriation & Briggs is not native & the fae are sent to reservations which is… not ideal. Urban fantasy around that time would throw in any & every culture with little to no research, I don‘t know how the indigenous community feels about it here
“Wow, Z, this is a seriously awesome turnout. There are more humans here than fleas on an old dog!” Stevie Rae shielded her eyes with her hand as she looked around at the newly lit-up campus.
