Kin (The Good Neighbors) by Holly Black, Illustrated by Ted Naifeh

Kin (Good Neighbors) Holly Black Once I found out that Holly Black was doing a graphic novel and it was similar to her Modern Faerie Tales series as in it centers on teens who get somehow involved with the faerie world, I wanted to read it. It's one of those books where I like the author but I...

The Sweet Scent of Blood by Suzanne McLeod

The Sweet Scent of Blood (Spellcrackers) Suzanne McLeod I saw a post about this book on Urban Fantasy Land and I was very intruiged, but a bit frustrated because I didn't see it in a US book website at the time, only in Amazon UK. In the end I got it from thebookdepository.com but it looks like now...

Jinx by Jennifer Estep

Jinx (Bigtime) Jennifer Estep Jinx is the third book in this series which is a tongue-in-cheek take on comic books. If you've read the previous books: Karma Girl and Hot Mama, you know that Bigtime is a city full of superheroes and ubervillians, secret identities are sort of obvious, and yards of...

Short stories and the Journal of Mystic Arts

Via things mean a lot - I found out that there is a free online short story in Holly Black's Tithe/ Valiant/ Ironside universe called "Going Ironside". It's very short and bittersweet, from the point of view of an exiled faerie, hitting hard times in the city. I didn't know about it so thought I...

Hotter than Hell by Keri Arthur, L.A. Banks, Susan Krinard, Marjorie M. Liu, Kim Harrison

Hotter Than Hell I really need to catch up on my reviews - I actually read this book last month but didn't have the time to review it with all the "real life" stuff going on. The one thing that gets me with this book is how different it seems from the rest of the "In Hell" anthologies that came...

Nightwalker by Jocelynn Drake

Nightwalker (Dark Days, Book 1) Jocelynn Drake I got this ARC of Nightwalker from EOS Books just last week and I already finished it. I love long weekends. The book came in unbound manuscript format so I walked over to Kinko's to bind it after I finished reading it. This was a trial. It was $2.66 to...

Urban Shaman by C. E. Murphy

Urban Shaman (The Walker Papers, Book 1) C.E. Murphy I started the second of C.E. Murphy's series (the Negotiator trilogy) earlier this year, but her first book, Urban Shaman was on my TBR as well. I just read it, and I think I may actually like this series even more. Joanne Walker is a mechanic...

It centers on the life of Ciara Griffin, an older (26) college student who is majoring in marketing and has just found herself a job at...
