pickA new series from Ilona Andrew's for me. There's nothing like a woman's scorn. It was short novella, but I got into the characters #SeriesLove25 #Read2025 @TheSpineView @Andrew65 @DieAReader
Well, Amazon did not deliver the book I wanted today, so I found this in my house. Something has to scratch the book habit itch that I‘ve started in the last few months… Not sure where it came from, but I‘m not mad at it. So far it‘s giving Alice in Londonland. 50 pages in and I‘m intrigued.
pickRomance between a „monster“ and a thieve
The story really catches me and I feel the amount of fantasy and monsters combined with the „modern“ New York was really balanced
The end catchend me of guard
Why do I have a feeling that the new loveinterest in book two could be Lorcan or a complete new character
Looking forward :)
pickThis was actually my first Garth Nix, but I don‘t think it will be my last. This was a great adventure, with dips into British myth and legend, and another world hiding in the shadows of our own. You get a very good sense of the time period, too (the 8os). But really, it‘s the characters that make the book shine — beautifully drawn and lively and sympathetic, you really feel like their story is unfolding in front of you. Loved it.
pickFinished this one last week. It was pretty good and a quick read. Though there was A LOT of Accounting talk. Like I get she was an accountant, so she talked about her job and that was her problem with her family, but still. I‘m not sure why her family was so hard on her for being an accountant. You have someone that can do your taxes in the family!!
Overall, fake dating a vampire you don‘t know is a vampire. Trapped in a blizzard alone. 👍🏻
pickI liked this book and these characters but I felt like at over 800 pages there should have been more action Or something it was too long , the last quarter of the book made this a pick for me or it would have been a so-so
pickVerity‘s dancing persona is invited back for a season of Dance or Die. Unfortunately, the show becomes quite literal when eliminated contestants start disappearing.
I love my popcorn urban fantasy series. It‘s so campy, but so delightful. Verity is such fun, the introduction of Grandma Alice made me cackle, & the Mice continue to be a goddamn delight. I was disappointed in the end, but I loved the world expansion & the side characters!🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑
pickCozy mystery, demons, set in a library and the possibility of more books = love all around especially for @AmyG for gifting this book to me
panThis book is all tell and no show. We're told about the interesting and amazing histories of the two main characters, yet the characters, a fallen god and a man-killing fox, sound and act like teenagers.
The world was interesting, if underdeveloped, and I liked the mix of Korean mythology and urban fantasy tropes.

so-soI fell in love with the cover of this book and was drawn to its premise of Faustian vibes. I‘ve always loved reading about the occult, but the excitement I felt in the first couple of chapters in this book quickly died down. The story dragged on without any real focus on the main event, and went into a love triangle instead. This book was more relationship than the dark vibes I was looking for…I didn‘t hate it but it wasn‘t what I hoped for.⬇️
